Be not afraid. I doubted that a second season of this show could work, or that it was even something any of us necessarily needed to see. But after basking in its soft, warm joy—a true rarity in our current bleak television landscape—I cannot deny that its existence feels like nothing so much as divine providence. Read full review

It's hard to sense that Aziraphale and Crowley are ever truly in danger, unlike our last outing with them. But, instead, we're given deeper insight into our dysfunctional pair of heroes, a beautiful tale, and an ending that might ask more questions than it answers. In other words, ineffable. Just how we like it. Read full review

Good Omens season two might be all questions and no answers, but, all the same, it’s a scriptural spectacular. Read full review

This is a season that digs deep into Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship. Perhaps if it was only focusing on that, cutting out some of the other bizarre plots — such as a story with zombies — maybe there would be a bit more cohesion. Read full review

Good Omens series two is immersive, inventive and unlike anything else on TV. But in comparison to the first, this tells a sluggish and exasperatingly thin story. But perhaps expecting Gaiman to pull off the marvel of the first is asking too much. Read full 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. Read full 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.

Cleverly funny with good throwbacks from the last season.
A gentle and romantic series entwined with a mystery that leaves you wanting more. Eagerly awaiting next season.

The flashbacks were the best parts as usual, but they didn't really relate much to the main plot. Ignore the homophobes complaining about the main romance though. It was ALWAYS a love story. Anyone who didn't pick up on that immediately was just blinded by their bigotry. The two mains spent the first season spending 6000 years making googly eyes at each other while love songs and string quartets played in the background for Pete's sake!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first season of this TV show left me thoroughly impressed and entertained. The writing was brilliant, capturing the essence of Pratchet's humor perfectly. The actors' performances were outstanding, and their chemistry together was a delight to watch. Other cast members also delivered amazing performances. Unfortunately, the second season fell short, demonstrating that even the most brilliant actors can't compensate for an average and unengaging storyline.… Expand

What I respected in the book (and season 1 by extension) has been replaced by utter mediocrity. The book was broadly in line with Christian theology, teleology and eschatology. Now angels tell outright lies, demons show pity and neither can sense what humans really feel or think. There's only one, rather uninteresting, storyline, but now we have a lesbian love triangle providing Deus Ex Machina solutions to push the plot forward. Don't get me wrong - there's absolutely nothing wrong with moral ambiguity or so-called "woke" content, as long as the story is good and engaging.
It's almost as if someone needed to keep reins on Neil Gaiman and check his homework every now and then, to prevent this season from slipping into meme-fueled, diversity-box-ticking slog. Because everyone knows that THE KISS is more important than a well constructed mystery and interesting dialogues. Well, not for me it isn't. I'd give it zero but the duo Tennant-Sheen salvages one point.
Watch Season 1. Read the book. Avoid Season 2 like the plague it is.… Expand
