American Gods

Starz's latest show American Gods may be what one might expect from a TV series adapted from UK writer Neil Gaiman's monumental novel of the same name. Well-executed and almost uncompromisingly dedicated to the source material, it opens with a warden telling the main character he's being released a day early to attend his wife's funeral. Upon release he meets the enigmatic Mr Wednesday, who hires him as a bodyguard. From there he's pulled into a cross-country road trip to raise an army for a battle between the new gods and the old gods. The novel was gripping, and the TV version promises to be the same.
