AMERICAN GODS
Amazon Prime video
AS the epic US fantasy drama returns for a third series, the war rages on between the Old Gods of mythology and the New Gods of technology.
Ricky Whittle stars as ex-con Shadow Moon, a man pulled into the service of the mysterious Mr. Wednesday, played by Ian McShane – only to discover that not only is his charismatic boss actually the Norse All-Father god Odin, he’s also… Shadow’s father.
Yes, it’s all a bit Star Wars. As always, this is a visual treat, packed with action and totally bonkers characters.
In this season, Shadow pushes his destiny away and decides to settle in the idyllic snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin.
He plans to forge his own path, guided by the gods of his black ancestors, the Orishas.
But of course, he soon discovers that you can’t just turn down being a god. You have to get on with the job in hand.
