Shadow is a man with a past. But now he wants nothing more than to live a quiet life with his wife and stay out of trouble. Until he learns that she's been killed in a terrible accident. Flying home for the funeral, as a violent storm rocks the plane, he is greeted by a strange man in the seat next to him. The man calls himself Mr. Wednesday, and he knows more about Shadow than is possible. He warns Shadow that a far bigger storm is coming. And from that moment on, nothing will ever be the same.

I just binged both seasons and if they don't make another season I'd be absolutely fine with that.
The cinematography is excellent and the performances are consistently brilliant.
The plot is weaker than a dead wife's fragile torso.
It tries to be sociopolitical instead of just telling a story.
It breaks off into so many unnecessary tangents that I found myself not caring what happened to most of the characters.
Just give me a Mad Sweeney and Dead Wife road story and bin everything else unless you plan to use Crispin Glover properly.
