I thought it was great too. Obviously it could have had been better just with the inclusion of the Hell's Angels that become the 4 groupies of the Apocalypse would have made it for me.

Really missed the Elvis joke and yes, there were parts that missed. Overall though, stayed mostly faithful and delivered

I really liked season 1 and thought it was a good adaptation, not sure how I feel about a sequel. At least the first season is faithful enough to the book that it works on its own so not a big deal if they screw up a follow up.

I would have been of the opinion that a second series was unnecessary. But having read that Pratchett and Gaiman actually worked up a plot and that Gaiman is involved with the sequel I'm optimistic. It's when people take over completely from an author after they've died and try to replicate their style that problems begin. Specifically I'm looking at you Eoin Colfer and that abomination of a Hitch Hikers book you wrote.

Season 2 dropped today

Binged Season 1 on Wednesday night. Absolutely loved it.

My only criticism was Anathema. First time in my life Im going to criticiize a woman for being hot, but I found her distractingly attractive. The book is one of my all time favourites and have read it countless times. It never occurred to me that Anathema would look anything other than a normal, regular person.

Is it just me or does she look a bit like Megan Merkel?

Caught the first episode of Season 2 and enjoyed it; no voiceover this time around, while the focus was squarely on Aziraphale & Crowley so there was none of that sense of muddle the first season could have. (bar a slightly random-feeling distraction of two women in a coffee shop: not sure where that's meant to go & how it ties into the plot)

Season 2 was a real letdown and nothing of the Terry Pratchett wit and humor.

It really was the polar opposite of the first season, felt almost like a sky production - plenty of money spent but just bland characters and clichéd writing.

The two shop owners getting together was just needless, boring tripe. Gabriel was kinda funny at first but that shtick got old quick.

I only watched season 1 for the first time last month and enjoyed it.

While I liked season 2, as others have said, it felt different.

The minisodes about the Resurrectionist and the zombies would've played better if there was some payoff outside of just being a bit of background. Like if we had seen the zombies in modern day somehow.

I felt as though they realised they could have more Jon Hamm so wrote more for him to do.

The whole thing with the 2 shop owners was worked in as a cover story for the miracle though by the end it just seemed like they were there to tell Crowley to let Aziraphale know how he felt, Which, again, I felt was unnecessary. Not the fact that they like each other, but think it worked better when they were playing around it. This is like revealing the killer too early in Twin Peaks. It's out there now so now they need to find something else to work with.

I did like Muriel, sorry I mean Inspector Constable.

Renewed for a third and final season.
