This is not the American Gods that season one introduced us to, this is nothing more than a half-assed continuation that attempts to do what S1 did just without substance and quality.
I guess one can tell that the show's creator quit this show after the first season (because he did).

This season has been really, really disappointing. There are many things that I admire about this show, primarily its artistic decisions, from camera work to storytelling and everything in between. This season however, it seems as though someone thought it was best to prioritize looks over substance because obviously, that always ends well.
I understand you want to maintain the show's shroud of mystery and intrigue, but if your audience is struggling to understand what the hell is going on half of the time all the while questions and confusion continue to mount without any answers whatsoever to satisfy them, you're doing something wrong. There is a point, a red line if you will, at which "we smart" tactics become bland laziness and this season has crossed that line many times over.
This is not the American Gods that season one introduced us to, this is nothing more than a half-assed continuation that attempts to do what S1 did just without substance and quality. I hope they get their shit together next season.
