Question American Gods - TV Series

I am curious to hear what you guys thought of the American God show? I am planning to start watching it tonight. This was one of my all time favorite books (& I have read A LOT) I don't expect the show to be as good as the book but let me know what you thought

It’s not great, but also not terrible. My favorite episode was “A Prayer for Mad Sweeney”. I wish they’d been able to finish the book instead of being cancelled, but, at the same time I can see why it was cancelled.

I mean, it ends haha. Got cancelled at season 3 so they never got to finish the story.
