it feels like fanfiction, but honestly i don’t mind it at all. When you have the budget and the audience to make your fanfic into TV series then why not?
I liked the first season but was sad on how the Pratchett like things where gone or downplayed (the hell nuns, the children, the 4 to 5 horsemen etc.) It clearly was a different book in Gaimans eyes. The acting really did a lot of heavy lifting.
The second season… I like the characters, mostly. The weird pairing off of characters was just ham fisted and bad. I think you nailed it on calling it fanfiction. Now I will likely watch season 3, but I don’t have to like it.
Its not strictly a new story. They based it on notes that Gaiman and Terry Pratchet had compiled for an unreleased sequel. Also, Gaiman has been the lead creative designer on the TV series, so at the absolute worst you could claim its half an original story.
why does david tenant have snake eyes
He’s portraying Crowley in Good Omens.
😮
is this any good? I usually dont bother watching adaptations of things I like.
David Tennant is stellar as usual, can’t wait for the next season.
next season? I thought it was a one-off series. Did they not complete the book in s1?
Season 2 is out and there is a third season on the way. They’re beyond the book, obviously, but Gaiman co-wrote it.
Yeah, and it shows. The distinct lack of Pratchett is evident even when they where still covering the material in the book.

Very good show, both seasons. I recommend it.
First season was a spectacular adaptation. Second was good.
First season was decent. After that they made up a new story so it’s original content.
