[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I could sense the way they were planning to distort the story by the end of season 1. I was a big fan of Terry Pratchett as a child and it was his voice that helped make Good Omens so good (I'm meh about Gaiman).

I'm very disappointed that they thought a 2nd season was necessary. No intention of watching it. It's all about profit over art.

If you liked season 1, the novel is even better. Doesn't have weird throwaway woke lines, like making Pepper shout, "I don't support everyday sexism!" at the air field, while being full of the actual goodness, equality, and moral truth that wokery has turned into a parody.

I also think season 1 should've just stuck to the Eighties. They go back and forth between Eighties tech and culture, and 21st century tech and culture. It gets confusing.

Like, it's relatively normal for small-town British kids in the Eighties to marvel at how America has sooooo many flavors of ice cream. That wouldn't make sense now...yet, the TV show has modern inserts like the demon Crowley inventing the selfie.

The actors do a good job though.[/quote]
Also a reader of the original novel, and I agree. I thought season 1 was so-so. Won't be watching season 2. The book has a charm to it that they couldn't fully capture. But that's the standard case for TV and film nowadays. Not sure what's going on there.[/quote]
