The Almighty Johnsons
The four Johnson brothers have inherited the powers of the Norse gods. Because the gods lived eons ago, however, time has diluted the powers. The unique ability that each brother possesses isn't very strong, and they still have the same desires and faults that mortals do. Their lives include sibling rivalry, trying to get girls, and hanging out; but they also want to be stronger, and so they embark on a quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy in hope of gaining the full strength of their abilities.
Entering its third season, we pick up the action hours after the ceremony at the lake where Gaia chose destiny over love, sending Axl into a downward spiral.
Attraction versus repulsion; destiny versus free-will; Godliness versus humanity: oh yes, the battle is most definitely on. The morning after the night before, and Gaia is doing the walk of shame, returning to the flat from her tryst with Anders. Axl is waiting, along with the ruins of the apple tree, and Gaia has the opportunity to tell the truth; to confess her sins. But does she?
Axl tries his hand at therapeutic binge-drinking, Ty experiences a life-changing catastrophe and Mike changes teams; all for the greater good of the family.
As the righteous are vanquished, Anders is made an offer he should refuse. Mike finds out his is not the only family with issues and Axl makes a new and interesting friend.
Monsters from the past unlock the demons of today, as the Johnsons dress up for the family reunion they never expected.
As Axl’s road trip takes a couple of unexpected turns, Mike and Michele take their own roads to the dark side, and Dawn becomes the launch pad for a journey Anders can’t see ending well.
A stag do with two stags leads Axl down the path to wisdom, while Ty finds that something that is forgotten isn’t necessarily gone.
Why are Grandpa and Axl naked on the beach? Does Anders actually even have a conscience? And just what will it take for Mike to go to war?
Miracles and visions abound, as do secrets and lies, when Axl's quest encounters many Friggs.
In which the best-laid plans and sundry schemes are thwarted by a man of morals, who also happens to be a man of action.
Two pretenders must overcome a host of obstacles, mortal and Godly, as they race for the prize.
Forget what you think you know. Throw away all your preconceived notions, and how you think things will go. Because today is the day everything changes.
If you had one night left, and in the morning everything changes forever, what would you do with that night? The Johnsons face this very question in the season finale.
Several months have passed. Mike is now living with Axl and Zeb, and has still not dealt with the end of his marriage. Ty and Eva have an interesting and passionate relationship, while Agnetha sends Anders off to Norway to secure a mysterious object. Axl expresses frustration that his brothers appear to have abandoned the quest for Frigg, while Loki continues to manipulate the situation. Agnetha discloses her real identity as their mother to Axl, Mike and Ty. An old acquaintance of Olaf prophesies that Axl must become a man before he can be a god; and then Frigg will come to him.
Axl is taken to school, while Ty is scarred for life.
Ty’s downward spiral picks up pace, while it is Gaia who spirals out of control.
Agnetha freely admits to murdering Eva and shows no remorse, leaving Ty with two options - call the police or help with the cover-up.
Axl returns from a fancy-dress party in women's clothing and falls asleep still wearing his outfit - and wakes up in the morning to find he has become female.
After Colin makes an attempt on Ty's life, Axl calls a Folkmoot - a court convened when gods have wronged each other.
Axl learns that the path to being a benevolent God, one who commands respect, is strewn with idiots and half-wits.
Axl and Michele get sick. Mike punches Anders. Axl and Michele get better. Anders punches Mike.
Sometimes all it takes is a door getting kicked down, and a large man walking in, for many many truths to be revealed.
A rescue mission, a roast chicken, a very small car and, for one particular person, the weirdest day ever.
As Axl deals with duelling prophecies, a cold wind sweeps in from the North, leading to a marriage Anders never saw coming. Meanwhile Olaf makes an intriguing discovery at the bottom of a bottle.
Axl and Gaia's escape from the real world takes a turn for the surreal, while Mike discovers his world is not his alone, and Dawn's world comes to an unexpected end of the line.
On the day of Gaia's actual 21st it sucks to be mortal, and being a God isn't exactly plain-sailing either.
It is Axl Johnson's 21st birthday - which explains the fire in the sky; the Waitemata Harbour being the colour of blood; the various women who seem to want to kill him; and the sudden need for a family ceremony in a forest.
Axl Johnson learns very quickly that when you're on a quest to find one woman among millions, your heart is not necessarily the part of your anatomy you should be following.
One of the things about Goddesses is that they can show up anywhere - be it in a library or at a bar. But whether they are the Goddesses you're looking for is a whole other matter.
Sometimes the line between doing the honourable thing and doing the easy thing, can get very blurred - especially when it comes to Gods and their offspring.
When something seems too good to be true, this is inevitably because it is too good to be true. And this is a lesson Axl Johnson is about to learn - big time.
It's hammer time, as a road trip to follow a falling star takes the God boys into uncharted territory; to a heartland of darkness where the usual rules no longer apply. The paths of the gods and goddesses cross at a rural funeral and both groups encounter the current incarnation of Thor. But will Axl mate with Derek/Thor's daughter, Delphine? Meanwhile, Olaf and Ingrid bond, and Anders and Michele spar with one another.
Two nights out drinking lead to two different forms of temptation - both of which could end very badly for the parties concerned.
The arrival on the scene of a singing butcher causes a shift in celestial power as the Gods and Goddesses work to get on the right side of the equation.
What if the one you're with isn't necessarily the one you love? And what if the one you love, you love her so much it is dangerous to her health?
The time has finally come for Axl Johnson and his brothers to man up and be the Gods they truly are.
