Polygon: This may be Bryan Fuller at his finest

I went into American Gods with few expectations — even as someone who has loved Fuller since Pushing Daisies — but I’m delighted that American Gods exceeded all of them, and I’m sure it’ll do the same for you, too.

From another thread:

Reviews are coming in.

- A|V Club Review: American Gods tells a timely story about immigration, war, and dangerous con men.

- IndieWire: ‘American Gods’ Review: Bryan Fuller Paints a Beautiful, Bloody, and Unblinking Portrait of American Duality.

OT will be up next Sunday.

[Kayhan]

Skeptical that Fuller can top Hannibal.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Awesome to hear, looking forward to it.

 

[Gattsu25]

When does this premiere?

Edit: Two weeks from now. April 30th

 

[thestopsign]

Awesome! Looking forward to it, I read the book in high school and loved it.

Also a former GAF member is on the production team I think.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

My kindle says I'm 38% through the book. Can I finish in time?!

Either way looking forward to it

 

[wenis]

Skeptical that Fuller can top Hannibal.

He won't but it will be amazing nonetheless.

 

[Escape Goat]

I am excited.

 

[Labombadog]

Super excited this is actually turning out to be good.

 

[Platy]

The more people praise this series, the closer we are from a Sandman TV series

 

[Mighty Bison]

Haven't read the book but am interested because of Fuller. Glad to hear it's well received so far.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Really hyped for this.

 

[the1npc]

The book was interesting at first but once the mystery was gone it all seemed so corny and lame...was well written tho

 

[MarveI]

Great reviews.

 

[RastaMentality]

Extremely hype. April is an insane month for TV.

 

[AuthenticM]

Skeptical that Fuller can top Hannibal.

Same. Hannibal is the best TV show ever created.

Still hyped as fuck, though.

 

[suzu]

Nice. Looking forward to watching this~

 

[valeo]

Skeptical that Fuller can top Hannibal.

More interesting source material IMO, though the book wasn't perfect.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

how long until Pushing Daisies return?

Please?

Still, looking forward to this.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Absolutely psyched that it seems to be Trump Era Relevant.

 

[caliph95]

how long until Pushing Daisies return?

Please?

Still, looking forward to this.

I dream everyday of the revival of PD

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I can't wait for this show! Been re reading the book in anticipation. I think the show will be amazing

 

[Con_Smith]

This coming to Starz yeah? Got to find a way to add this to my PS4 just for this.

 

[Tokubetsu]

fucking ready for more dreamscape horror and wonders from fuller

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

But how often do we, the audience, see Ricky Whittle shirtless?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Mass_Pincup]

how long until Pushing Daisies return?

Please?

Still, looking forward to this.

You and me both man...

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Hmmm

 

[cj_iwakura]

You and me both man...

I'm partial to Dead Like Me, but at least it had a good ending.

 

[kevin1025]

Amazon Prime's getting it here in Canada the day after it airs on Starz every week. I'm mega excited for this show. Fuller and McShane and a Gaiman adaptation. You better believe that's a paddlin'.

 

[caliph95]

I'm partial to Dead Like Me, but at least it had a good ending.

I don't think PD had an ending

 

[Qvoth]

wow this is going to start in 2 weeks? shieeeeeeet

- Den of Geek: American Gods TV Spoiler-Free Review

In the end, the American Gods TV show doesn't make you choose between belief and nihilism, between America as oppressor and America as oppressed. It recognizes that the truth is probably more complicated than that. It simply wants you to ask the questions and come along for this wild ride. If you do, you won't be disappointed.

- Joblo: TV Review: American Gods

American Gods feels like someone locked Guillermo Del Toro, Tim Burton and Steven Spielberg in a room with a copy of On the Road and a bunch of LSD and then turned off the lights.

 

[tyaaron]

I knew this show was going to be great. I'm still bummed we'll never get know how great Fuller's version of Star Trek would have been.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

This reminds me I need to add Starz to my package.

 

[Slaythe]

Skeptical that Fuller can top Hannibal.

It will easily top it if this is more consistent.

The cast is there, the artistic direction is there, so now it's all about not falling for the same mistakes and shortcomings.

 

[Einchy]

Noice.


I'll watch anything Fuller does after Hannibal.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

This plus Ash vs. Evil Dead got me to sign up for Starz through the iPad app (their version of HBO Go).

Can't wait.

 

[B33]

It sounds promising! I'm looking forward to it!

HBO should get Fuller on as a showrunner for a Sandman television series after he concludes American Gods.

[Grizzlyjin]

Fucking Starz. Was just about to cancel my subscription since Black Sails is over, but now they got me on the hook for this. And then by the time this is over, it'll be time for Outlander to come back. I hate you, #PeakTV
