Old gods are the most interesting gods
I read the book by Gaiman a long time ago and am working my way through it again. Saw that the series was out and, even though I'm only two episodes in, I'm loving it. Ian McShane was an excellent choice for Mr. Wedensday and the fellow playing Shadow (can't remember his name atm) is amazing. Hoping we get to see more of the leprechaun. The depictions of the various gods so far has been really interesting. Very interested in seeing how this season goes.

Don't compare this book to American Gods. You will be disappointed; for good reason. Unlike American Gods, this is Anansi's book (or his son's book). This book is humorous, silly, and whimsical in its lightness. Not to suggest the West African trickster can't be dark and scary that is just not the point in this story. Some parts do get dark and scary.
It is a story of family among other things. For people who are not a mythology nut like me. There are stories about Anansi in the book (somewhat like the coming to America stories in American Gods) so you will have an idea who this slightly random god is.
