There has been a lot of promoting on the internet though very little talk about the show here on ResetEra. Lots of trailers and such out there though. Anyways I enjoyed the premiere a decent amount. Didn't feel cheap or anything which I was worried about with the budget cuts and all the drama surrounding the production of the show but we'll see how the rest of the season is. I would say it came back pretty strong though.

Season 2 review:
3 OUT OF 10 STARZ
I see what you did there... š
Man season 1 was almost great. S2 had a lot of turmoil in production. I hope it maintains the quality that season 1 had.
Reviews have not been kind and after the uneven-but-beautiful first season and all the BTS drama I'm really cautious about subscribing to Starz for this. Fuller was only reason I watched and stuck with the first season.
I was really skeptical about this continuing but the first episode was really entertaining. Not a book reader so YMMV.
Not in this episode, at least. Outside of one particular sequence, the premiere is incredibly straightforward compared to the first season.

I thought it was pretty good myself. Really need to see more to see how it holds up to season one though. Special effects seemed good still or at least in the premiere. Story moved pretty fast, some decent scenes, decent uses of music, etc. I thought it was a solid premiere.
I adore the first season and it's largely because of those sequences. They are etched into my head, they were fantastically filmed.
The loss of Bryan Fuller is probably going to hurt it in terms of the visuals compared to the first season. He's the one responsible for a lot of the visual style we got, just like he did with Hannibal/Pushing Daises and most of his other shows, he brings this dream like/painterly style to shows he does that visually makes them stand apart from most other tv shows.
Since he left though and this season is being run by different people it's going to feel different.
I just hope they take some of those elements and try to stick with them. Also hope we get more of the Irishman, he was one of my favorite characters from season 1.

I really enjoyed the premiere of season 2 and I thought the visuals were outstanding some really good stuff
That was a pretty awesome premier, like seriously wasn't expecting something that cool. Really felt like a season finale deal in many spots.
I actually enjoyed it more than most episodes from S1. I will admit that it's a little unfair since S1 had to gather and build up these characters in their own episodes, and now we get to fully appreciate the fruits of their labor.

I love me some American Gods, and as such I loved this episode, way more straightforward than any episode last season, but the oniric and beautiful imagery is still there, I don't know how much the setting had to do with it, but it gives me hope for the rest of the season, BTW I just found the house on the rocks is a real place o_O has anyone went to it? It looked amazing, what witht the whale and decorations
The book is pretty good so you wouldn't take a bad decision for sure. The show has the potential to expand on some characters though.
Yes it's pretty damn good...
not sure about season 1 but season 2 requires a Starz subscription through Amazon or through starz direct or through your cable provider
Everything still looked great. I enjoyed the scene inside of Odin's mind with all of the gods. I think I like this show more when I can watch multiple episodes in a row. One episode feels a little empty by itself.
Seems like the show still looks amazing. Also the show still seems good, apparently. Im still just more concerned with viewer numbers. I enjoyed this episode.

easily lol. I did work on season 1 tho. I'll post some bts stuff on twitter, but I start a new job this week so it'll be a bit crazy.
thaaaanks.
Why would it have hdr? It's on a cable/sat channel. I might be wrong but as far as I know only streaming networks have hdr so far.
I'm dumb and didn't think about that. Its in 4k non HDR on Amazon Prime Germany. ;)
Thats awesome, can't wait. Just finished the newest episode, excited to see where things are going.
It's okay, it's annoying how slow USA tv networks are with technology. You would think channels like showtime/hbo/stars etc. that cost more on top of sat/cable subscription would be the first to embrace 4K hdr but nope.
Congrats! Loved talking about Discovery with you during season one. š
Episode is colorful and atmospheric without resulting to slow mo snore fest.
If there is a slow mo it comes in a critical moment not over stay.
Art goes in the background without overtaking the plot and moves it forward.

First season is incredible, can't say anything about the second.
Watched the first ep of this season and I quite enjoyed it, though the tempo did feel a bit faster then last season which seem to relish in being a slow burn.
Also I have to say, "It's a motherfucking fortune from a fuckin wax dummy....dummy" was fucking hilarious the way Orlando Jones delivered it, I'm really enjoying his character.
Wow, that's awesome man! Living the dream.
Looking forward to your episode.

Got round to watching the S2 premier yesterday, went in quite worried due to all of the issues behind the scenes but was very pleased with the episode.
It will be interesting to see what happens, im assuming that Shadow is being corrupted by Odin et al and will need to be saved from being pulled in.
On a funny note, i didnt realise until after we had finished the ep that i was actually wearing my American Gods t shirt which was quite the coincidence lol.

On the contrary. Looks like they're looking to forge ahead with a third season:
