We love how this show manages to keep a sense of humor about it (a dark one, for sure) considering the themes of violence, racism, and jealous, needy, sometimes vicious gods. Lots to dig into this week, plus some behind-the-scenes news, your feedback about the pilot, and some potential spoilers at the end if you want 'em.
