Critics

Audience

An ex-con travels with a mysterious conman who reveals that he is an old god recruiting allies for a coming struggle against newer deities. As they cross America, they encounter strange figures, competing beliefs, and stories that blend mythology with the country's immigrant experience.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like atmospheric, mythic dramas with unusual characters and bold visuals, but Not for you if you prefer fast plots, clear explanations, and consistently focused storytelling.
