Well, the root of it is there is a war brewing between the old Gods ( Zeus, Loki and their ilk) and the new Gods born from the worship of money, the internet etc. The story centers around 1 man who has to find a path through it all whilst coming to terms with the death of his wife. Written by Neil Gaiman, so therefore awesome! ;-)I know I could google it, but .... sell the concept to me?

Um, well, it is complicated, hell I have read the book many times but it is complicated.I know I could google it, but .... sell the concept to me?
Really really dumbed down it's about the Gods that people believe in exist because people believe in them and how the old Gods are pissed that the new Gods are taking over as the popularity of the old Gods reduces and the new ones rise. In America.

No. Not in the book anyway.
Interesting, one would think that Yahwah would be a bit miffed at the rise of the new Gods as well.slopes said:

As a Terry Pratchett fan, I am being drawn in by the concept of bickering gods

Watched the first episode on Amazon Prime on Monday. It was very good and kept to the book very well (there are some small, inconsequential changes). Still not wholly convinced by some of the casting (we all have our own vision of the characters when reading the original - for some reason I always had Vin Diesel in my head as Shadow )
Looking forward to seeing how it develops, and in particular seeing Peter Stormare as Czernabog, who is a perfect casting for my favourite character
