But having some kind of explanation of the gods would be cool instead of just reading Wikipedia articles to find out who they are based on. Even an explanation of their origins within the context of the show wouldn't ruin anything. It would just provide better context for who each god is and what culture they came from etc.

Well to be fair, the first Coming to America vignette is Wednesday's. We see Bilquis, Mr. Nancy (Anansi) we will meet proper in season 2.
I understand what you're saying, but I think the point (at least in the novel) isn't to spell out who is who. I have more thoughts but I suppose that would be too spoilerly.
