'American Gods': Why is Salim obsessed with the Jinn and where will it lead to?
Neil Gaiman's ongoing flirtation with the fantasy genre has given us many highly compelling, intricately woven, and award-winning stories over the years like 'Sandman', 'Coraline' and let's not forget, his best-selling novel 'American Gods,' which has been turned into a hit series on Starz network.
'American Gods' focuses on an upcoming battle between the fading Old Gods and the New Gods of technology and globalism. The relevance of the Old Gods is dying out due to lack of worship from their followers, who are now turning to technology in order to fill the voids in their lives.
The Jinn and Salim, though they may seem like minor characters, have been given a lot of screen time ever since their introduction in season 1, and this makes us believe that the two together may just be more than they seem.
