American Gods has forgotten what makes sex magical

"It's felt like something about American Gods’ sexual sensibilities has changed" in Season 2, says Charles Pulliam-Moore. "The change feels profound, even though it hasn’t had all that much bearing on the series’ plot. It’s not that the show’s suddenly become modest—that’s far, far from the case. But in its second season, American Gods has lost some of its carnal spark—that energy that gave you the sense that there was more meaning baked into its depictions of sensuality. Despite the cast’s insistence that American Gods isn’t a 't*ts and dragons' show like Game of Thrones, that’s exactly what it’s become, and it’s a goddamned shame because the current TV landscape could always do with more enlightened, nuanced ideas about folks getting it on."
