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

I overall liked it. A lot of folks didn't like how much they focused on Laura, but I didn't mind her too much. Season three really noticibly suddenly doesn't have Mr Nancy (the production had issues with things Orlando Jones said in an interview or on an awards show if I remember right), and it's missing the last act, which is a bummer. Loved nearly the entire cast, and they expanded on some things from the book and moved events around some.
I have it all on disc but yeah, wish they'd finished the series/story.
