ARE YOU WATCHING ‘AMERICAN GODS’ YET ? ? ?

If you’re not, you need to get your life together and watch one of THE most visually and philosophically opulent shows that has graced the small screen in a very very long time . . .

Each shot, each sound, each choice and decision is stunning, and we have to admit we are hooked!

It’s nice to watch a show that feels like it embodies a deeper meaning to it. If you want a taste of what we mean, here’s a glimpse at the opening credits which in themselves are a true work of art!

It’s really a complex work! Here’s a rundown of what we’ve seen from the title’s director Patrick Claire {via Reddit}:

The tree of life
Screaming stone medusa with fiber optics coming from her hair and effectively lancing her with these twisting glowing cables
The Selfie Nymphs—A trio of media nymphs… Nymphs of classical mythology, but instead of eyes they have camera phone, Cyclops views of the world
A menorah twisted with audio and digital plugs in place of the sacred candles
Lady Madonna with a veil, which is actually a piece of wearable technology, where you’ve got silicon threads woven through the fabric itself.
Budai or the Laughing Buddha sampling some pharmaceuticals and seeming to be enjoying himself
Reproductive technology and modern medicine and engineering
Ganesha with too many smart phones
Sony’s Aibo in a Sphinx-like position
A broken cowboy who’s got a prosthetic limb similar to so many of our veterans who have faced tragic events in warzones overseas. And he’s accompanied by a centaur instead of a horse, and the centaur is made out of BigDog, the robotic pack horse that the military is developing
The angel of death who’s decked out in special forces gear
Aries the God of Virtual War, with a chariot pulled by two customized American muscle cars, holding a crossbow with a nuclear ICBM loaded into it
A space shuttle spewing smoke and fire
A crucified astronaut
An eagle perched at the top of the pole, the ultimate symbol of America. Might also be a reference to Native American Thunderbirds.
