What the hell happened between the production of American Gods s2 and 3? Like it started with the reveal of Wednesday being Shadows dad, and I read the book, so I already knew it, but I was so confused by the reveal, went back to the s2 ending, and it came out of nothing? in the series. (They hinted at it, throughout, but Shadow didn't have a revelation) Also the plot turned into a romance hallmark movie. I know the lakeside part is kind of dull in the book as well, but the show had introduced soo much interesting sideplots than dropped it. Killed them with Mad Sweeney tbh. Laura and him were such a strong pair in terms of storyline and now they just ended that in the most boring way. (I liked the Romeo and Juliet paralel in the cemetery tho) Also I feel like they don't know what to do with Salim but made him even more of a central character anyway. It is so frustrating, because the first season was so strong, and the third could have redeemed the smaller problems with the second. Like... it became cheap? Is that the right word? I'm hoping the Anansy boys can revive it, so the story can be finished. Because it had so much potential.
Also the fuckin fan edit type montage of Sweeney when Laura is remembering him, with the romantic music... that made me laugh, I'm sorry xd
