American Gods Reviews
What the critics are saying
- “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.” –Melanie McFarland, Salon
- “Some might want a quicker pace from American Gods. Yo, po-mo Clash of the Titans, gets to the clashing! But I was consistently engrossed. The characters, the concept, the deeply considered filmmaking captured my imagination.” –Jeff Jensen, Entertainment Weekly
