I've heard good things about it but that trailer makes it look painfully cliched.

Production value is some of the best I have ever seen on any television show.

Well in my opinion this series is awesome.
Still hesitating to read the novel, since there will be a second season.

Loved the talk of 'transportee-girl' / 'indentured-servitude' and all the other names they used to disguise "slave" ... the original slave ... and for w/e reason the focus is AMERICAN Gods, because everyone knows America is the Old World. Great Inclusion!
- Natives practiced slavery before contact with Europeans. Most slaves and slave-owners in Canada were native.i_monk
- Native = descended from colonists, if by native you're saying indigenous / autochthonous / aboriginal - sure ... but when European = Queen Europa, the same folksonnde
- Nobody to meet, same people that are indigenous to America, are the same people that are indigenous to Europe same indigenous to Africa all continents, same 1ssonnde
- Native means indigenous and you know this.i_monk
- descended from colonists it does not mean indigenous or autochthonous or aboriginal, all of those 'red' indians were from amalgamation. olmecs/xi are originalsonnde
- native (n.) mid-15c., "person born in bondage,"sonnde

Gillian Anderson is phenomenal, probably my favourite part about the show.

So far so good, does get a little hokey at times.
The one thing that I've noticed is that Shadow talks exactly like Rick from walking dead, they must have the same American accent acting coach or something lol.

- yeah and Dane Cook's dick no less.
lolRamanisky2 - I was kinda pissed to even hear dane cooks voice pop up. So, I was pleased that his role in this story is being a massive d-hole.shellie
