Bragi loves being a god and mostly uses his abilities to seduce women and win clients for his PR firm. Over the course of three seasons, our heroes run into a variety of other Norse gods (as well as a couple gods from a totally different pantheon), and the show finds an interesting mix of humor and pathos from its interpretation of the gods and goddesses. As a result, there’s a sort of divine Cold War going on with a group of goddesses who are also looking for Frigg for their own reasons.And when mortals learn too much about ‘god business’ it usually ends up harming the mortals, so the gods can’t really tell anyone who they are. They tend to bring out each other’s passions but also their worst divine personality traits. It also turns out that gods and goddesses don’t really mix well. But there’s a catch if he dies before finding Frigg, then some sort of disaster will kill his whole family and lots of innocent mortals as well.

If Odin can find the goddess Frigg, his divine wife, and win her, then all the gods will become full gods again and thus much more powerful. Ty can’t stop radiating cold, and struggles to taste anything or feel any emotion other than gloom (so he became a refrigerator repairman).īaldr tells Odin a prophecy. Bragi is supernaturally persuasive and can convince anyone to do or think anything as a result he’s a charming but shallow asshole, especially to his secretary, the perpetually put-upon Dawn (Fern Sutherland). Ullr, as god of the hunt, can find anyone he’s looking for he’s also the god of games, because he can’t lose any game of skill or chance he plays. Most of them have one or two small powers, but are otherwise normal mortals. He’s also an oracle, but he’s not very good at predicting things.Īxl Johnson, the hapless Odin (middle), with his smarmy brother Bragi and stoner grandfather Baldr.Īt the moment, the gods aren’t very powerful. The man Axl thought was their drug-addled cousin Olaf (Ben Barrington) turns out to actually be their biological grandfather and the god Baldr, who is the god of rebirth and therefore doesn’t really age much. His brothers are, in birth order Mike (Tim Balme), who is Ullr, god of the hunt Anders (Dean O’Gorman), the reincarnation of Bragi, the god of poetry and Ty (Jared Turner), who has the misfortune to be Hödr, god of cold and darkness. His brothers take him out into the forest and perform a strange ritual and tell him that he’s actually the reincarnation of Odin the Allfather, the king of the Norse gods. The show opens on the 21 st birthday of Axl (Emmett Skilton), the youngest Johnson brother. It seems that after fading from power in medieval Scandinavia, the Norse gods sort of became humans, constantly being reborn. The show focuses on the lives of the four titular Johnson brothers, each of whom is the reincarnation of a Norse god.

Today’s show is the dramedy The Almighty Johnsons, which has one of the oddest premises of any TV show I can think of. But in my next post, I’ll give you a nice, if somewhat obscure film about 12 th century Italy.
