Adapted from Neil Gaiman's bestselling novel, the sprawling fantasy epic American Gods is one of the most hotly awaited TV events of the year. And, if the early reviews are anything to go by, we're in for a treat when it arrives in the US on Starz on April 30, and one day later in the UK on Amazon Prime.
After the premiere, the cast and crew answered questions about the show. Ive never seen any of the show before and I thought it was fing amazing! McShane said. I was riveted and Ive never seen anything like it.
The 10-part series premiered its first episode last night at SWSW festival in Austin, Texas, and those in the audience have been tweeting their verdicts

World premiere of #AmericanGods at #SXSW! (Moderated by @LauInLA!)
Room loved 1st episode...it's a mindf*ck but in the best way possible.
Can't wait for this.
