'American Gods' season 2 episode 2 review: Mr Town unravels Shadow Moon's past, reveals truth about Wednesday

In the second episode, Wednesday has a plan for the future and it involves war, just not as soon as we expected.

'American Gods' season 2 has already grabbed us by the throats with its brilliant visual translation of Neil Gaiman's world. Case in point is the carousel scene in the first episode. In the second episode, we get more involved with the plot line. After a loss on their side, the Old Gods are angry but not aggrieved enough to start a war without planning. Especially when they are led by Odin aka Wednesday.

We last saw Shadow Moon being abducted by Mr Town's men to get any information about what Wednesday is planning. And if you were expecting to see a fraught Wednesday planning a rescue operation in teh second episode, then you don't know the Norse god well enough.
