Blu-Ray Review: “American Gods: Season Three” Is A Must Have

“American Gods” season three is arriving today on Blu-ray and Digital, from Lionsgate and it’s a must-have! Season three, one of the best seasons so far, finds gods of old and new on the brink of war. Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) has discovered that Mr. Wednesday (aka Odin) (Ian McShane) is in reality his father. As he copes with the discovery he sets out to find his own path with the help of ancestors, the Orishas. When he lands in the small snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin he discovers the town’s bloody secret and must choose between divinity and humanity. This season turns up the drama as we watch Shadow Moon go through a gambit of emotions. Shadow Moon has been through so much. Whittle does not disappoint. As with the previous seasons he puts his whole heart into the role to make a character that you can’t help but cheer for. McShane, who is a Primetime Emmy Award winner,

AMERICAN GODS Renewed After A Fantastic Start

Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, based on his books by the same title, has only been on the air for two weeks and is already getting a lot of attention, so much that it has just been renewed for season 2, thank god(s). I can only describe the series as brilliant, bold, beautiful, and nothing like we have ever seen before. The story lines keep you hanging on every line of the character’s dialogue. Even the violence, and there is a lot of it, is executed as if it were art. The cinematography, at the hands of Darren Tiernan, Jo Williams, and Aaron Morton, is simply elegant. There is sex, brutality, war, love, passion and mystery. What more could you want? In a world filled with gods, both old and new, we have been introduced to our central character, Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), who is fresh out of prison and mourning the death of his wife Laura (Emily Browning). He is
