Review of Good Omens

Good Omens (2019– )
5/10
Season 2 is legitimately Dull
28 July 2023
This season 2 seems more interesting in playing diversity bingo than telling a complete story. Next to no straight couples, focuses too much on hooking up two lesbian characters. Making a fool of the essential white man who's story ended up being another diverse box tick.

The overall story started off good with a mystery about Gabriel, then it just never really progressed. Each character doing next to nothing and the plot happens to put them into the next event. Then it ends is a pretty pathetic resolution where our two heros have an unresolved, yet another tick box, thing that seemingly won't ever happen. But we all know it will.

Personally it suffers due to the side story about the love life of two absolutely unnecessary to the plot characters. And sufferers from the side plot of a certain police angel who had too much focus for nothing to happen. The ending with Gabriel is fine, but it was shoe horned in to the story at the end with no interesting hints.

I don't think I can personally watch this series again knowing it's going to be a let down. The interesting stuff all involves Biblical historical events where our two leads interact but that's it.
