There was a lot of concern about whether American Gods, with a new set of showrunners, would return for Season 2 in markedly diluted and inferior form. Well, based on last Sunday’s Season 2 premiere, American Gods is just fine. One particular sequence, showing the inner workings of a fortune-telling machine, was a gorgeous piece of filmmaking, as arrestingly original as the traveling-to-motels-and-diners montage in Manhunter. At the end of the episode, the show’s human hero, Shadow Moon (played by Ricky Whittle), was absconded by some of the New Gods. What will they do with him now that they have him? And how will Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) and the others react?
