Finished American Gods,
Painfully dull, and the style becomes self conscious. Itās clever, but it lost my interest long before the last episode closed.
Thereās plenty of tricks, but itās just missing something and I reckon itās a plot.
Canāt stand Gaiman but like the visuals on this so thought I might give it a go. I wonāt be expecting much so might end up liking it 
Yep 8 hours of TV and you know the same by the last episode you knew in the first.
Music was good though.
I think itās a lot to do with the fact that there is no real mystery. Once you have grasped it, itās just a series of sideshows.
Itās some oldies v some newbies. The rest seemed to be some random side tales that ranged from slightly amusing to funny for the wrong reasons. The Irish back story, with the narration over, was dire. Reminded me of Desperate Housewivesā¦
I kept watching for the visuals, but not sure Iāll be back.
I think the issue with quite a few new shows is the protracted manor in which they establish ācharactersā and back stories. American Gods visually was quite spectacular but the majority of the series was seemingly based on establishing pending peril and the key players. The story in many ways has yet to begin. I do understand that such shows (Better call Saul is a prime contender for this issue) wish to build lengthy franchises but sadly this can be at the cost of a sufficiently strong coherent narrative and momentum.
I rather hope the ābattleā in A.Gās ensues in the next series the threat of which was too protracted in S1. A spin off series about the Leprechaun would be most welcome.

It was wonderfully cast, apart from the very wooden lead.
Which didnāt help.
The Schreiber brothers do excellent men with attitudesā¦ I agree about the character. Shame he popped up right at the end of the lame Irish episode, and didnāt get to be centre stage for that hour!

Leftovers badk on tonight.
Really enjoyed the first two series.
That was right up my street when I watched it a while back.
30 mins left and not sure if I can be arsed watching the rest, ridley scott is churning out some shit with these prequels
I thought Fassbender was excellent. As a pure slice of sci-if horror, I enjoyed it.
Just starting to row my way through Narcos. Reckon itāll be about 450 Km when Iām done.

Ooh, 2001 is on BBC2 at 11:15 tonight. Not seen it for years.
Recording it as Iām almost certain to fall asleep.
My favourite bit is Leonard Rossiter.
