Weekend Preview: The War Begins On ‘American Gods’ And ‘Twin Peaks” Goes Down The Rabbit Hole

American Gods (Starz, Sunday 9:00 p.m.) – After learning about Laura’s resurrection and spine-busting powers last episode, this week we see Shadow try to work things out with his dead, cheating wife before he and Mr. Wednesday are kidnapped by the New Gods.

Twin Peaks: The Return (Showtime, Sunday 9:00 p.m.) – Now that the fear that the show wouldn’t live up to its strange expectations is gone, Twin Peaks is getting into the thick of things. Cooper’s evil doppelgänger starts feeling a pull to go back to the Black Lodge while Cooper finds a way out of the in between thanks to another look-alike named Dougie. Trying to explain any more than that is just pointless.
