We’re also introduced to the storytelling trickster god Mr. Nancy (or Anansi), brought to life with devilish glee by Orlando Jones.
In Mr. Wednesday’s corner, at least somewhat, we have the chain-smoking god of darkness Czernobog, played with world-weary disdain by a filth-ridden Peter Stormare.
Orange is the New Black’s Pablo Schreiber is excellent as the seemingly invincible drunkard Mad Sweeney, who always gets the short end of the stick.
Not last and not least, we have Bilquis, the goddess of love who wishes to once again become a target of worship in others, and she has a particularly wicked way of making that happen.
