Not because Crispin Glover isnвЂ™t one of our finest living actors, because Crispin is a national f**king treasure. 'One of the things that I felt had not really come into focus for me was Mr World. Crucially, Neil pinpointed the portrayal of Mr World, a key player in American Gods, as one of season two's biggest pitfalls. This feels like what American Gods should be.'Дuring these planning sessions, Neil and Chic hashed out what worked in previous seasons and what didn't, building a new and improved version of the show ready for season three. It was just really smooth and really easy this year.'

We got our episodes early, which is tough sometimes on TV productions, especially something as massive as American Gods. 'For me, it was the most efficient season yet. Ricky suggests that a lot of this is down to the amount of time that Neil and new showrunner, Charles H 'Chic' Eglee, had to plan everything out beforehand. But why has it taken this long for the show to find such divine inspiration? That's high praise indeed, particularly as Neil is the one who first wrote the book American Gods is based on way back in 2001. That feels like what American Gods should be.' They strap you in, and youвЂ™re on the ride. ItвЂ™s a rollercoaster ride, and the rollercoaster starts at episode one. 'But it no longer feels like each episode is as distinct.

YouвЂ™ve still got the fabulous cast,' Neil promises. 'In season three, we get to build on all of those. Bringing Bilquis on to the stage, and having her be one of the old gods who understood the advantages of the new gods and technology - It made everything much less black and white. 'On season two,' he continues, 'there were things that really started working. But I felt like season one tended to be like an anthology series. And we had this sort of hyper-real yet somewhat fantastical look which David Slade brought to the pilot. 'On season one, I felt like there was a lot of stuff we got very right straight out of the gate. Most importantly of all though, the aimless meandering of season two has been replaced by a steadfast purpose which grounds the wilder fantasy elements with a clear aim and direction. The other gods and mortals alike are fleshed out more this time too while new guest stars such as Denis O'Hare, Blythe Danner and even Marilyn Manson are added to the show's growing pantheon. 'Season three is a true return to form, the strongest season yet.'
