Ian McShane returns as mullet-sporting Norse deity Odin “Bonkers” doesn’t begin to do justice to seasons one and two of American Gods. Amazon Prime Video’s megabucks adaptation of the cult Neil Gaiman novel gave us Ian McShane as mullet-sporting Norse deity Odin, Gillian Anderson as a gender-flipped supernatural David Bowie and former Hollyoaks actor Ricky Whittle playing a brooding All American badboy named “Shadow Moon”. It was more barking than the afterparty at Crufts. It’s still quite out there as it returns for an addictively outrageous third series. This is made clear from the outset with a sequence in which McShane’s “Mr Wednesday” – aka Wotan, aka Odin – crowd surfs at a heavy metal concert (headlined by Marilyn Manson). He does so while dressed like Thor from the Marvel comics. It’s as if someone at last decided to make a Lovejoy film only to put the guys from Game of Thrones in charge.
