I watched episode one of American Gods (I loved the book) and I was pretty 'meh' about the whole thing. Does it get better or is the first one a good indicator? I can't put my finger on what I didn't enjoy, but one of the elements that irked me was the over use of CGI.
Up until the point Wednesday came onto the screen I very almost turned it off. That scene on the plane saved it for me. The last scene with Technical Boy was interesting as well.
