With all hope lost, Laura brings the well-preserved corpse of Sweeney into a crypt and uses the gold coin inside her to try and bring him back. Meanwhile, Laura continues to try and find someone to bring our Leprechaun, Mad Sweeney, back to life. This is obviously a very different Shadow from the one we’ve seen before. He’s also sporting long hair and a shaggy beard. Shadow meanwhile, is going under the alias of Mike Ainsel and working in a factory, laying low. Ironically, the production and creation of this show is almost as fascinating as what’s happening on-screen.Ĭontinuing this topsy-turvy adaptation, episode 1 of American Gods Season 3 begins with a heavy rock concert as Mr Wednesday is greeted as Odin and All-Father in front of a room of screaming fans. So what better time than now to release the third season of American Gods a show that’s so wildly deviated from the book material and been through so much drama backstage. From the disappointing adaptation of The Stand to whatever The Watch is trying to be, the wonderful surprise of Lupin seems to be the only bright spot so far. January has really been a topsy-turvy month for shows based on books.
