Five stars. Because of what it isn't. Not an ending, just a stop. And that's
why there was so much story left for season three. I hear that Gaiman and
Whittle are still trying to get someone to step up to do season four. I hope
they manage it. Maybe another five or six episodes, without cutting any major
story corners. This was fine, as far as it went. We get the journey to the
center. Laura gets to cop Steve McQueen. World comes so close to telling
Technical Boy who he really is that everyone should be able to figure it out. And we get Shadow's sacrifice, and the reason behind it. We seem to be missing
the furor amongst the Old Gods that arises from the assassination, but maybe
that comes later. Who knows? Maybe we'll never find out how the show
concludes. Maybe the writers should have paid more attention to story-telling
from the start. 18 March 2024.
