Good Omens (2019– )
5/10
Season 1: Good. Season 2: Not.
4 August 2023
The casting is great across the board. It's an excellent production.

Season 1 is wonderful. Follows the book, is well adapted for TV and the pacing works well.

Season 2 is awful. The chemistry of the actors is all good, but the plot is just generic and lacks even a hint of Terry Pratchett's humour that made the book (and season 1) so good. It's forgettable in the worst way. Binged it over a day.

Hopefully they stop and let this end before the memory of season 1 is drowned by all that's to come. Not everything needs a sequel, the book and season 1 both stand as a singular and entertaining piece of work and after watching season 2 they deserved to be left as such.
