These first few moments ofAmerican Godsseason 2 are certainly action-packed, and they immediately set-up a storyline: Mr. World, the new god of globalization who wants to start a war, sends the Technical Boy, the new god of technology, off to find the goddess Media. Gillian Anderson memorably played Media in season 1, but Kahyun Kim will be taking over the part for this new season.
Anderson’s departure likely has something to do with the behind-the-scenes troubles that plaguedAmerican Gods. Original showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green were fired after season 1 aired, a decision that didn’t sit very well with the original cast. Fuller and Green’s firing was originally chalked up to budget disputes, but later, a rumor surfaced thatNeil Gaiman, executive producer and author of theAmerican Godsnovel, was unhappy with the liberties Fuller and Green were taking with his source material. Jesse Alexander was brought in as a new showrunner, with the understanding that he’d steer the series closer to Gaiman’s book. But Alexander reportedly clashed with much of the original cast, still loyal to Fuller and Green’s material. To make matters more chaotic, word later came that Alexander wasfired as showrunner as well.
As a result of all of this turmoil,American Godsseason 2 arrives with a lot of baggage. I quite liked the first season, but all of these problems have soured me on the show a bit. I’m a huge fan of Gaiman’s writing, but I find hisAmerican Godsnovel to be a bit dull, and actually thought Fuller and Green’s changes were improving on the source material. Knowing that the show will know attempt to get back to basics gives me pause.
