Starz's 'American Gods': Is Shadow Moon actually the God, Balder Moon?

With 'American Gods' heavily revolving around Shadow Moon, is there more to the man than meets the eye?
PUBLISHED FEB 2, 2019

Warning: Contains spoilers!

Shadow Moon (played by Ricky Whittle) may not be as enigmatic as Mr. Wednesday (Odin), but the Norse God didn't keep Shadow around only for protection. Odin is a God after all, and there may be more to Shadow Moon than just a catchy name.

From the first episode itself, fans will feel like they're taken through what seems like a drug-fuelled trip, where each episode treats them to plenty of psychedelic and memorable imagery, and after you throw a bunch of old and new Gods into the mix, you've got yourself a hit show!
