Titled \u201cThe Secret of Spoons,\u201d American Gods\u00a0episode 2 is described as follows:\u00a0\u201cAs Mr. Wednesday beings recruitment for the coming battle, Shadow Moon travels with him to Chicago and agrees to a very high stakes game of checkers with the old Slavic god, Czernobog.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the clip \u201cAngry Gets Shit Done\u201d<\/strong> – Mr. Nancy \/ Anansi, played by Orlando Jones, brings the African trickster god to life with an explosive speech about racism in America aboard a slave ship bound for this country. Clad in a sharp plaid suit and occasionally morphing into his godly spider form, Jones gives a \u201cpositively show-stopping turn,\u201d according to Dominic Patten at DEADLINE. As VANITYFAIR.com added the \u201cComing to America\u201d vignette is, \u201cboth incredibly socially relevant and one of the most memorable introductions a TV character has had in a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adapted from the award-winning novel by\u00a0Neil Gaiman, American Gods has been translated into over 30 languages and earned numerous accolades including Hugo, Nebula and Bram Stoker Awards for Best Novel.<\/p>\n

The plot posits a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society\u2019s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. Its protagonist, Shadow Moon, is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a conman but in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.<\/p>\n
