American Gods Is Force Feeding Us Emily Browning

Hey guys, Orlando here. I had to write in today. I only have one comment or question however it’s viewed. Why does it feel like this show is force feeding Emily Browning on us? Emily Browning HAD to play Essie too? Personally I think she’s a horrible actress who never...

Is Luck a Religion For Laura Moon?
