Episode 6 sees us get back into the road trip side of things. Two road trips in fact, both equally strange, and confusing.
Gillian Anderson is back as the truly twisted 'Media' and her many guises, including an uncanny David Bowie impersonation. A lot more of the newer gods in this episode, including the welcomed introduction of Crispin Glover as Mr World in a truly psychedelic prison break scene.

Some fascinating gods, and series revelations come in episode 3, shrouded in storms and snow. Shadow finally comes out of his shell and we're again introduced to some new characters. Another extremely visual and poetic episode.
An incredible dark and twisted second episode with a distinctive road movie feel to itself. Some interesting new characters come to surface, but none as intriguing as Gillian Anderson's 'Media' - a serious 'wow' moment mid-episode.
