American Gods (2017-2021)
American Gods (2017) is a television series based on the novel of the same name by Neil Gaiman. The show follows the story of Shadow Moon, an ex-convict who is hired as a bodyguard by the mysterious Mr. Wednesday. As Shadow Moon travels across America with Mr. Wednesday, he discovers a hidden world of gods and monsters.
One of the most notable aspects of American Gods is its depiction of sex and sexuality. The show features a variety of explicit sexual moments, from Shadow Moon's passionate affair with Laura Moon to the steamy encounters between gods and mortals.
The show also explores the idea of sexual power dynamics. In one scene, Shadow Moon is forced to watch as Mr. Wednesday seduces a woman in a bar. This scene serves to illustrate the power that Mr. Wednesday holds over Shadow Moon, as well as the power that men can have over women.
American Gods also explores the idea of sexual identity. In one episode, Shadow Moon meets a transgender woman named New Media, who is a goddess in her own right. This scene serves to illustrate the idea that gender is fluid and that everyone has their own unique identity.
Overall, American Gods is a show that is not afraid to explore the complexities of sex and sexuality. From its depiction of power dynamics to its exploration of gender identity, the show offers a unique and thought-provoking look at these topics.
