Weekend Preview: ‘American Gods’ Ends Its Stunning And Strange First Season

American Gods (Starz, Sunday 9:00 p.m.) — Lat week’s episode focusing on Mad Sweeney was one of the series’ best, but the first season finale finally introduces us to Kristen Chenoweth’s goddess, Easter, so fans should definitely expect greatness.
