Martin Carr reviews the second episode of American Gods season 3…
Episode two might possess the formidable presence of Ian McShane’s Odin, but beyond that Serious Moonlight treads water. Visual flourishes prove distracting but ultimately story seems to be in stasis. Aside from a gathering of Gods fronted by Peter Stormare’s Czernobog things are decidedly lacklustre. Vaguely clandestine meetings on rooftops involving Shadow and raven-haired women might engage briefly, but in terms of tone things feel flat.
Snow covered mountains, flame spewing bison and convenience store flashbacks might raise more questions than answers, but ultimately audiences should let it slide.
