Writing's a fight and this boy needs a battle
I preferred this to the first season. There seemed to be more plot, more intrigue, more character, and none of the slow motion contemplation that looked beautiful but slowed the first season to a crawl.
The central premise will always be intriguing. Gods only exist, have power, because we believe in them. The stories we tell are the stories we believe. To write is to create Gods.
I can’t say it’s an easy watch. David Slade, king of the slow motion contemplation, sets the tone for the series. It’s strong on arresting images, weaker on connecting them to character development. The lead, Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) lacks agency, he just tags along with Wednesday but we never know why? So he’s carried by events rather than doing something that has consequences. It works in the book better than it does on screen. I’m still interested enough to watch Season 2.
