Hey dude, well according to wikipedia:
"The series focuses on Shadow Moon, who meets a strange man named Mr. Wednesday after being released from prison. Shadow Moon soon becomes embroiled in a large-scale conflict between the Old Gods and the New Gods"
The interesting part about it is that show you how old gods (Anubis, thor, zeus) and other mythological entities came to America and how they interact with the new gods (Internet, sex and television).
In Rotten Tomatoes it has a 95% rating but as always the book is better.

The description of the show intrigues me a lot: "Ex-convict Shadow Moon roams a world he doesn't understand, left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife. Little does he know his life is about to change after he meets a crafty, charismatic con man named Mr. Wednesday, who offers Shadow a job as his bodyguard. As their journey begins, Shadow encounters a hidden America where magic is real and fear grows over the ascending power of New Gods like Technology and Media. In a grand plan to combat the threat, Mr. Wednesday attempts to unite the Old Gods to defend their existence and rebuild the influence that they've lost, leaving Shadow struggling to accept this new world and his place in it."
Considering the description gives me interest, and the ratings are so good, then I'll definitely have to give it a chance. Thanks, and I will let you know whenever I get the chance to watch the series, thank you so much again.
