“American Gods” follows Shadow Moon, who after getting out prison, ends up working for Mr. Wednesday after an unusual meeting. But, Mr. Wednesday isn’t an ordinary man. He’s described as “a powerful deity, on a cross-country mission to build and reclaim his lost glory,” per Starz. The world of “American Gods” is set to a backdrop of a brewing conflict between the old and new gods.
