OK, but was it really necessary to put the show and our beloved characters in a romantic relationship and experience?

Could it not be a great, epic bro-mance? I mean, I have no problem with the direction that the creators took, but we have already a couple in the show with the same effect, and quite romantically and beautifully written and beautifully acted throughout the six episodes of season 2. Why double down on that?

The show is still 10/10 for me, no change there. But sometimes a great bro-mance - a well-written and a well-acted bro-mance - is all that audience needs.

One more thing: While watching this season I could not help but wondering, Michael Emerson would be fitting, too, as Mr. Fell. Just a thought.

Edit: some grammatical mistakes.

This show is my everything! I love the storyline, the characters, actors, direction, the attention to detail, Neil Gaiman & Terry Prachett's story, everything!! It makes you smile, it makes you laugh, it shows you what love is and ocassionally, it gives you more pain than you know what to do with. All in all, this is the best show ever made and I am wholeheartedly in love with it! Who doesn't love an iconic duo saving the world and then discovering how their relationship unfolds?! The ending has left us with questions that need answering as soon as humanly possible!! Can't wait for a season 3!✨

I am at a loss for words, I feel like I've won, but at what cost, it beautiful throughtout and then end, the end it got me, it was devistatingly beautiful, I am now writing this down still in complete disseray as to what happened in those last 10 minutes. I fear I will never be the ame until season 3 comes out. It was incredible though, stupendiously beautiful, great acting from everyone, I am hoping that those execs who are behind the recent strikes pay their writers and actors soon becasue I'm not waiting another 5 years for season 3. Anyways, I am in shambles and Neil gaimen will have to answer for his crimes of making me this devistated.

What a wonderfully well done episode and season. While the ending may have been saddening to many, it is very clearly setting us up for the third season. Aziraphale did not act out of character, there have been many signs leading up to their argument and his decision. I also reckon that the Metatron may have had something to do with it, but that is just one of the many questions we will have to wait and see for! David and Michael absolutely blew me away with their acting this season, especially in that last scene together. All in all, this season was a beautiful exploration of humanity, trust, and what it means to love. I am so excited for what is to come in season 3.

It is the bravest ending I have seen on television with that it has won me incredible. Michael Sheen and David Tennant are wonderful in their performances, as their chemistry hits.

From the first moment they appear, they leave you mesmerized and you cannot stop watching them until the end. This series leaves you wanting more and more. You see her in one afternoon, but the next moment you're seeing her again.

It has many details to analyze, and each expression of the actors is a world full of exquisite taste for those of us who like quality series.

The plot is very intelligent and fun, it invites you at all times to be an accomplice to what is happening, play along, even if at first you don't understand what it means, in the end everything is united and you understand. The more you see her, the more she understands her cinematographic language, dialogues, acting is a true feast. I'm looking forward to season 3, because not doing it would be a capital crime. Of course there will be those who give it a low rating, because they don't know anything about quality series and are only guided by intolerance. Those don't count for anything.

Having read the book and watched the series, I assumed that was all we were going to get from "Good Omens". I liked that first series, though more due to the chemistry between Tennant and Sheen, rather than the story, which was rather rushed through in the final couple of episodes. This second season is a bit more balanced, and all the better for it.

Having averted the end of the world, Aziraphale (Micheal Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) return to their lives. A few years later, Gabriel (Jon Hamm) walks into Aziraphale's bookshop, naked and having no memory of who he is. Crowley and Aziraphale conspire to hide Gabriel from both heaven and hell, for whom he would be a valuable asset. They try to encourage love to form between Café owner Nina ( Nina Sosanya) and record shop owner Maggie (Maggie Service) as cover for a concealing miracle they've cast and find out what's happened to Gabriel. We see moments from the history of the pair, and their lives together spanning back centuries.

As I say, whilst not as bad as in the first season this run too can feel a bit like a collection of almost unrelated moments and storylines, but it does come together again at the conclusion. That wild feel is enhanced in this season by three of the instalments having a mini episode built into them. One of those "Nazi Zombie Flesh-eaters" is written by Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman and operates as something of a League of Gentlemen reunion, with all other three members of the troupe appearing in the episode. Indeed, Reece Shearsmith appears in several episodes as a character central to the plot. There's also a little cameo in the run for two other members of the Tennant Household.

Key again to the whole endeavour are the central performances from David Tennant and Michael Sheen. There's a warmth between them that comes across in the characters that is then turned in it's head in the final moments of the season as the paradigm shifts ahead of what would be the plot of season three, should that be forthcoming.

I hope they do get a chance to do it and the story that Gaiman and Pratchett planned so many decades ago can be told.

Season 2 has the style of the original and some of the appeal of the original but without the nuance and cleverness that made the original so special. And it definitely does not have the satirical style, charm and humour that ran through the original story (book & show) and is so much part of Terry Pratchett's writing.

The original had multiple narrative strands that were all essential to the story and all came together to create a sophisticated story. Season 2 was a very linear, substance free and one dimensional story.

The original was also a cynical and subtly commentary on absurdities and irrationalities of Christianity while also celebrating some of its fundamentals ie it's all about being good and caring for each other. They seemed to miss all that in this season.

Much of the enjoyment of this season came from the well formed and lovable characters and how they relate. Given they were all pre-formed prior to this season it was pretty easy to carry that on to this season. And when it comes down to it, if you strip the characters away, there is not much holding the story and season together.

It is clear there is something missing and it is pretty obvious what that is - Terry Pratchett. In that regard, it is only a third as good as the original and highlights the huge gap that was left when Pratchett left us.

This was simply magnificent, incredible work. After waiting so long for the second season, I can say that it met all my expectations, I have never been so satisfied. The way the whole plot developed filled me with happiness, Good omens always manages to make you feel good💕 (I clearly didn't include the ending, I was devastated) Everything has a purpose and that's the beautiful thing about watching Good Omens, every time you repeat it you notice small details that make the scene even more beautiful. The acting was excellent and I really felt connected to the emotions of the characters. We urgently need the third season!
