This show is something confusing in so many levels, wll, for me anyway, don't about the rest of the world.
This show is unbelievably wierd in many aspects, the like the special affects, and most of the time you don't even actually understand what you are watching. Everything just happens and at some points you even start to wonder: "Am I watching this wright?" I have one advice for you that are interested to watch it or just heard about it, which, in some ways, the show itself tellsyou to do: Take your time, don't rush into it.
This is a show which I find yourself really lost most of the time, and I am reading the book and I can assure you that it is preatty much the rhythm, in fact, the show gives you even more for you to able to follow than the book (just to say that I still haven't read the whole book, so what I'm saying can be a big fat lie, I don't no). If you have anxiety problems or whatever, I think you may not like this show, because if there is something that you need to have most of the hour you are watching in each episode, is patience. Let the show go in slowly and just watch it and see how wierd it is, because I can assure you, in the final episode of the first season you'll find yourself understandig everthing about it and what you thought was confusing has fu** transfotates in your head into somenthing that say:"Man, this how fuc**** rocks!" And you'll probably find yourself wantig to watch the whole stuff again, at least that was the case with me, and belive me, that if you do that, you are going to see the same show, but with a lot morethan the first one, which you saw has almost mambo jambo with very weird moments and very wierd special effects.
In my opinion, this is a show not to be watched only onde, but twice. But to help you waching it I'm going to say one of the things that I believe that this show is about: The Gods from all around the world, from many cultures, in america (preatty much the tittle, but I do think it is going to help you start watching this)
One of the weirdest, most amazing and fantastic show that I ever watched, if not the absolute number 1.
