Season 3 Review:
Good Omens season 3 is not a bad episode, per se. But it is one that needed more polish, and, most importantly, more time. The rushed story does make this final episode feel somewhat off-putting, since there was clearly much more that was meant to happen, alongside ideas that needed more development.

Season 2 Review:
For season two there is no more book to dramatise, so the makers are free to play to series one’s strengths. Good Omens 2 is more the Tennant and Sheen Show than ever. .... The significance and mechanics of the story remain unclear as Hamm, previously one of the strongest supporting characters, now has to do his best with a basic affable-ignoramus role.

Season 2 Review:
It’s hard to imagine anyone enraptured by "Good Omens" being disappointed in the new adventures of their favorite angel and demon, especially as the show keeps up many quirky and bizarre happenings that made it such a success in the first place. Tennant and Sheen continue to be the reason to watch.

Season 1 Review:
It doesn’t quite work, because it doesn’t quite disguise the fact that beneath the razzle-dazzle, every character apart from the main two is tissue-paper thin. This is particularly true of the female parts. ... When both Crowley and Aziraphale are offscreen, things fall flat. In fact, a distinct sense that everyone is just marking time until they come back creeps in.

Season 1 Review:
Good Omens is at its best when it’s a Divine (Buddy) Comedy. Sheen and Tennant, wonderful actors unafraid to let out their inner cheeseball, have great chemistry and know how to sell a joke. ... Whenever the show departs from the two leads, however, the life seeps out of it.

Season 1 Review:
The six-episode limited series loses momentum as it goes, making the teased possibility of a sequel less and less appealing. Still, the comic pairing of Sheen and Tennant could carry a story all its own, if only their creators would leave them alone to their own devices.

Season 2 Review:
"Good Omens" doesn't quite achieve that level of sublimity in these new episodes, alas. A dearth of substance eventually depleted my willingness to invest in the broader mystery beyond wondering what adorable sight gags would be inspired by the next clue or divine/hellish development.

Season 1 Review:
It’s a lot, and sometimes the pace is more exhausting than bracing. At the same time, the show’s underlying ideas about tribalism and friendship are pretty commonplace. Still, Tennant and Sheen make an ideal buddy-comedy duo; their banter does justice to Gaiman (who adapted the novel and is an executive producer of the miniseries) and the late Pratchett’s witty prose.

Season 1 Review:
Onscreen, this pairing — between a saintly being played by Michael Sheen and a fallen angel played by David Tennant, both seeking to save the world for their own reasons — is the best part of the new “Good Omens” limited series. But it’s not enough: This six-hour journey towards the end of time comes to feel grindingly slow by the end, more anticlimax than fight for Earth’s future. ... That it ends up saying so little feels like a missed opportunity.
