American Gods |OT| You Had Me At Bryan Fuller - Sundays on Starz

Of fucking course they would have Technical Boy vaping.
I wasn't the biggest fan of the book but I loved the concept. Ep. 1 was very promising in that regard. Love me some snappy dialogue.
Handmaid's Tale is too real for me right now. Will probably watch it over the summer.

Surely they'll win an award for the opening. So damn good, I don't think I'll ever skip it.
This opening is nice cause it tells you right off the bat this show isn't fucking around. The rivers of blood give me Hannibal flashbacks lol

"I offer you the worm from my beak and you look at me like I fucked your mom?" is gonna be the best line of the year. Nobody is topping that.
Mr. Wednesday's little speech about what keeps the plane in the air is also A+ stuff. Can't remember if that's in the book but I love it

I wonder if anyone is watching the Bilquis scene with their family. 🙈😂
Did not at all expect them to toss the Bilquis scene so soon into the show, and it came off a bit campy, but it was probably the one scene more than any others I was wondering how they'd translate. Ian McShane is brilliant in this.
If the first episode taught me anything, though, it's that having read the book doesn't mean shit because this is a whole new adaptation. Might be entertaining still, though.
Netflix has me all fucked up, though. I simply can't do the whole waiting a week between episodes thing. I'll most likely just wait until they're all available to stream and binge them.

My friends have said "I'm so confused" at least 6 times so far but they seem to be enjoying it. The crazy moments get big reactions. Already told them I ain't explaining shit.
Judging by what the reviews have said about the first 4 episodes, you just gotta be okay with enjoying the ride on this one.
My feels. Thanks Netflix

That was definitely at Brian fuller joint. Holy shit those visuals.
I've not read the book, but i didn't have any problems following it at all.
It was good, but I can't stand when people don't ask painfully obvious questions. That feeling gets turned up to 11 when it results in you leaving the pilot without any real framework or narrative hook to move forward. It was like the episode stopped right on the line between the climax and resolution -- it would've benefited tremendously from five more minutes of run time.
Anything with Mr. Wednesday was superb.
This episode breezed through the book; I didn't expect this episode to get this many different chapters in. I expected this to only get through a 1/3rd of the stuff we got in the first episode.

I felt that way with Hannibal, at least in the earlier episodes. Fuller's got this.

Never read the book, so I'm going in to this knowing only the most basic outline of the story, but I think I'm hooked. That was fun, if not a bit confusing. Can't wait for next week.

What I just witnessed...simply amazing and cool. I want to know more, see more, hear more.

Nah, there were episodes of Hannibal more bloody than the premiere.
Hell of a homecoming for Shadow Moon aka Lincoln from The 100. He stayed getting beat down on that show too.
Bilquist was fine, but I'm not trying to lose my life over her. I suppose there are worse ways to go out though.
I was thinking the same thing. Wow. Great start to the series. I expected great things from Bryan Fuller directing Neil Gaiman and I believe it has delivered, so far.

This show is Bryan Fuller unleashed and it is goddamn glorious. I hope the show continues this great momentum.
I can't believe they pulled of the vore scene...

Should I read the book before watching the show, or should I watch the show, and then read the book?
Seems like the show is a pretty good adaptation, though it would also make some narrative changes to fit the TV show format as well.

Really cool premiere.
I'm glad I reread the book prior the show started because I remembered very little of the books. It makes the differences interesting. I didn't see anything I feel is wrong or off key. And it's also cool they are injecting the side short stories into the episode as well.
Visually it's amazing, the casting top notch, this is the best adaptation I could have hoped for. I must say the one change that is understanding but still a little jarring is seeing Shadow with an actual personality and not the blank slate person just taking it all in with minimal reaction

This show is full of wtf.
LOVED !
Dude gets my go to adapt Sandman if he wants !
Beautiful and way more faithful than I expected !
Also, saw it with a friend who didn't read the books and he said like 3 "wtf" out loud during the episode and a very loud "WHAT THE FUCK" when it ended xD
He said it was a good what the fuck, but a what the fuck nevertheless
