This season is short. Just an introduction in fact, but a great intro. Visually, it's beautiful. Perfect image, lots of close up, slo-mo, light effects. But just below the Zack Snyder style limit that would make it too much. The general feeling of the show, atmosphere, music, colors, renders perfectly.
The concept itself is great, extremely clever. The present day faith war, and the way to modernize old gods (you were a god of fire? here are guns. You were a goddess of sex ? Here's Tinder, enjoy) is just splendid.
Some actors performances are amazing, and you greatly feel the difference between who the episodes are centered on. Anything with Wednesday, World or Media is top notch.
By comparison the side stories feel a little bland. Specially on such short a season where you wonder what the point is. The small unrelated stories that gives a feeling of the world in the beginning are good. But then some seem useless. I guess this comes together later in the story but at the end of the season, there was no point to the whole presence of Bilquis and Salim. Even Laura's backstory feels like useless filling when it happens.
I hope that next season will have more episodes to develop, this would help enjoying the side stories without it taking so much space compared to the main story.
