    Continues to be a joy, extending the strengths of the first series by prominently featuring Tennant and Sheen. Snappily written, funny and played expertly by the cast. Nobody can replace Terry Pratchett but the writing partnership of Neil Gaiman and John Finnemore has borne a new and wonderful fruit of its own.

    Season 2 is even better than Season 1, but please note that Episode 1 is the weakest of the bunch, so stick around for Episode 2, which is one of the strongest of the new season. The writing is smart and funny, and Tennant and Sheen continue to bring out the best in one another. This season also includes some wonderful supporting roles, especially Miranda Richardson as Shax and QuelinSeason 2 is even better than Season 1, but please note that Episode 1 is the weakest of the bunch, so stick around for Episode 2, which is one of the strongest of the new season.

    Absolutely astounding. Neil Gaiman and John Finnemore are a match made in heaven (probably because Terry Pratchett is up there himself). An all star cast heightened by the amazing job done behind the scenes. The best series of anything I have seen in a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Brilliant!! Watching the relationship and characters evolve was a rich treat. We need season three to develop those relationships, not least of course the main one, Crowley and Azeraphale. Watching Crowley’s warm and loving strength, as his barriers came down, because love was softening his hard edges, could be a study in human relationships in pure form and one we could all learn from. He’s an Angel at heart but not prepared to conform to the authoritarian collective; we see him and love him for it ❤️❤️
    Aziraphale is adorable and loving, and wide eyed to hope and possibilities, he’s pure of heart, and he showed his strength and wisdom. Unfortunately in helping heaven he has hurt the love of his life, but he knows how to fix it (with some ineffable confusion and mishap on the way), I just hope Crowley approves     … Expand

    Been patiently waiting for this since I finished Season 1, this season delves a whole lot deeper than that and then some. We truly see how good isn't always good and bad isn't always bad. There is emotion throughout. If I could have added anything, it would have been a deeper dive into Nina and that's it.

    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.

    Really amazing season. Though the plot wasn't quite as tight as the first 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.

    Good Omens returns after a four-year hiatus with a good story and the same funny chemistry between its stars.

    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.

    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.
