Who wouldn t want to have a legit deity as their father? Percy Jackson seems to be pretty cool with it, but Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), the beleaguered protagonist of Starz s
American Gods, is not. He s now in the frigid town of Lakeside and wants some gosh-darned answers (can t take the gods names in vain, of course).
In an exclusive clip from the show s Season 3 premiere this coming Sunday, Shadow finally has it out with his daddy, the enigmatic Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). Quickly fading in a world of modern gods like Crispin Glover s Mr. World Wednesday just wants to save humanity from its most self-destructive tendencies.
American Gods Season 3 (TV Review)

Review:
American Gods has had a rocky few years. While it has developed quite the cult fanbase, the Starz series is now on its third showrunner in as many seasons. Brought to screen by Bryan Fuller, hands have changed each year with the change for season three being announced before the second even hit the airwaves. While using a 500-page novel as the source for multiple seasons of a television series would pose a challenge to anyone, it is not for
American Gods. Neil Gaiman s book was packed with characters who have tales easily expanded for the small screen. This means that for season three, we say goodbye to some favorites and hello to new characters as we continue to chronicle the quest of Mr. Wednesday and Shadow Moon.

“American Gods” is now entering season three with an epic bang which is befitting for the Gods. Here, war is inevitable and the flames of resentment are flamed by the outright blood-lust that exists between the Old Gods of mythology and the new Gods of technology.
Ex-con Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is coerced into the service of the puckish Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) who is, in reality, the Norse All-Father god Odin, and Moon’s father making Shadow a demi-god.
Naturally, Shadow’s reaction to being half-divine is complicated and he runs from his apparent destiny, choosing to lay low in the picturesque, snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin, determined to forge his own path. But in fact, he later discovers that he’s being guided by his powerful African ancestors, the Orishas.
