Starz 'American Gods' Season 2: Shadow Moon moves closer to becoming the King of America in season 2

Our protagonist has gone through hell and back in the series, but all that toil and trouble may just be setting Shadow up for a more concrete role in the upcoming war
UPDATED FEB 25, 2019

'American Gods' is a critically-acclaimed fantasy series based on the award-winning novel by Neil Gaiman of the same name. The show is heavily inspired by mythologies from across the world as it follows a seemingly human protagonist, Shadow Moon, on his adventures as Mr. Wednesday's (Odin's) bodyguard.

Mr. Wednesday is on a mission to recruit the Old Gods who are going through a lull period as their worshippers are now giving allegiance to the New Gods of technology, internet, and globalism. Together with the Old Gods and Shadow, Mr. Wednesday is preparing for an upcoming battle between the Old and the New Gods.

The series takes it's main inspiration from Gaiman's book and follows a near-canonical interpretation of its story with only a few minor changes in order to make up for the time period. When the story was created back in 2001, the internet did not contain much information when compared to the present, and a few characters were reworked.
