Starz 'American Gods' Season 2: Who is Sam Black Crow in Neil Gaiman's fantasy series?
'American Gods' is a best-selling fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman, and it focuses on an upcoming battle between the Gods of Old mythology and the Gods of technology and globalism. Humans start losing faith in the original Gods and instead divert their attention to TV, celebrities, technology, and money, and that's exactly what they worship instead of the Old Gods. The 'American Gods' novel chronicles the adventures of Shadow Moon and Mr. Wednesday (who's actually Odin in disguise), and Wednesday is on a mission to rally the Old Gods in order to prepare for the battle to be, while Shadow essentially plays his bodyguard.
The novel has been made into a critically acclaimed series, and it's refreshing to see that the live-adaptation doesn't stray too far from the source material, with the series being near-identical and almost canonical to its counterpart. While the first season of the show aired 2 years prior, the second season was almost not made due to internal tiffs between the show writers, but now that the series has settled, Neil Gaiman is making use of all the characters from his award-winning book. One such character that we'll get to see in the new season is Sam Black Crow.
