Season 1 Review:
The conscientious visual style that Fuller honed on “Hannibal” achieves riotous new heights of sensuality in this series. Green, a DC Comics veteran whose television credits include serving as an executive producer on “Heroes,” aids in harmonizing the story’s surfeit of histories and personalities into an intelligible and spellbinding structure.

Season 1 Review:
[Bryan Fuller and Michael Green have] blended their sensibilities, weaving a rich tapestry of whimsy, epic action, and deft characterization. Practically speaking, it will definitely tide you over until that other fantasy drama returns. But thematically, it could knock someone off their throne.

Season 3 Review:
The show initially had simply too much of everything: too much sex, too much violence, to many weird flashbacks to the gods’s glory years across human history. Series three is where the fever belatedly breaks and everyone involved takes deep breath. Oh miracle of miracles, American Gods may finally be watchable.

Season 1 Review:
Gods has its own dark humor--as when the erratic widow of Shadow’s best friend tries to have sex with him in a cemetery. “I’m trying to get my dignity back here,” she says. Gods takes delight in magnifying images hundredfold--a match being struck, a tile being cleaned. This can get a bit precious.

A very interesting show, i absolutely love it. Great casting and had me hooked til the end. After season 1 i ended up buying the book as i couldn't wait for the 2nd season. Even than i was happy as the show is different enough from the book that it still keeps you entertained.
