Review of Good Omens

I'm no fan of Terry Pratchett, and yet the first season of Good Omens is humourous, quirky and has a level of "British-ness" in it's comedy that makes it an enjoyable watch. The Queen soundtrack adds to David Tennant's character immensely. There are also plenty of generally well-known British actors popping up here and there in small roles. It's all good stuff.

Moving on to the second season, and everything mentioned above is missing. That quirky humour seems forced; no Queen soundtrack - in fact the soundtrack is basically reduced to a single Buddy Holly song, which feels like it's been forced into the narrative and doesn't generally match the overall tone of the show.

Tennant and Sheen are still good, but it feels like they haven't been given as much license to play their characters up; they feel restrained. And when you look to the (guest) cast list, there is nowhere near as many "names" popping up.

Then there is season two's story: it's an abysmally boring plot, and the resolution to it is absolutely ridiculous in the context of the setting. Simply put, it is a complete and utter mess.

Being that there is essentially a cliff-hanger at the end of season two, hopefully Amazon will pay for some decent writers for season three, and give Tennant and Sheen something that allows them to portray their characters to their fullest extent.
