I rated it 9/10. Having not read the novel, I could have used just a bit more exposition. But I understand the bulk of the story. One pet peeve is you need an electron microscope to read the opening credits. The acting and writing are fabulous. The directing is the most stunningly beautiful I've seen on any screen in years. American Gods should absolutely win an Emmy for directing. I'm crazy (Orlando?)jonesing for season 2. There is nothing else like this onscreen, which is extremely rare in Hollywood. I subscribed to Starz just for AG. I had to make some adjustments to my limited budget, but it was worth it!

As someone who hasn't read the books. I went into the series blind. And was surprised by how much I love this series. I love the casting par one.The effects and directing on the show is memorizing to say the least. And the way the writers weaved out the characters arcs through the season, leading to the final without it getting messy was very well done. I can't wait until series two.
So rating it a 9...It would have been a 10 if it wasn't for the casting of Gillian Anderson as Media. I know alot of people love her performance. but I found her characters to be annoying as hell to watch.
