The Worst: American Gods
From the moment that Starz’s American Gods began to lose cast members, it seemed as if the network couldn’t stop itself from making poor decision after poor decision in hopes of recapturing the magic that made the series’ first season so magical. By American Gods’ end, the show had essentially begun to rehash plot points that were already covered, and introduced a bunch of new gods who, while interesting, all felt like so-so pseudo recasting rather than novel deviations from the source material. By the end, you got the sense that Starz no longer believed in American Gods, a story that lived and died by its ability to dig into what makes belief such a powerful, intoxicating thing, which was perhaps the most devastating thing it could have done to the beleaguered show.
