Spoilers ahead….
If fans of the Neil Gaiman book were worried about what would be left on the editing floor of the small screen adaptation…they need not fret.
American Gods gave viewers an eyeful on Sunday night as they included a graphic sex scene from the first chapter of the fantastical book, which perfectly captures the brilliant weirdness of the novel.
A somewhat innocuous hookup off of a dating site turns both supernatural and murderous in the first episode of the Starz show titled The Bone Orchard.
A man meets a woman off a dating website and ends up in bed with her.
The scene, which is taken from the first chapter of the 2001 book, takes an unexpected turn when the woman swallows the man whole with her vagina.
The woman is no mortal as she is Bilquis, who in Gaiman’s universe is a goddess based on the biblical character more commonly known as the Queen of Sheba.
Meanwhile, a storm is brewing in Starz’s gritty new series American Gods, as deities old and new gear up for a battle that reverberates with topical issues in the real world.
Immigration, race, religion and sexuality are all examined in ‘merican Gods through the saga of Shadow Moon, a convict who is released to the news of his wife’s death. He is hired to be the bodyguard of an old grifter named Mr. Wednesday, the disguise of the Norse god Odin.
The series is based on British author Neil Gaiman’s 2001 novel of the same name, a surreal story of how the old gods of folklore struggle to be revered and remembered in an age of new gods like technology and media.
