Season 2 of Good Omens isn't nearly as good, sadly.

4 episodes in and it's just very ordinary. Nowhere near as clever as season 1. The only time I'm really enjoying it is when they go back in time. The 'contemporary' storyline is foooooooorced.

Lets set aside for a moment the lesbian relationship plot arc that they're making the centerpiece of the whole thing and just consider it a regular relationship - they've done NOTHING to make me think either of these people would be happy together. Or if I even CARE if either of them are happy - the 'unrequited' character is annoying as hell and sobby over someone she doesn't even know. The 'rejecting' character is just snarky for snarky's sake. It's a STUPID relationship storyline that just doesn't work on any level.

And now the part that probably annoys me most. They have a wheelchair bound and developmentally disabled angel. Oh for ****'s sake, really? You get to heaven and your incorporeal form is handicapped? And she's bopping around in a freakin' motorized scooter? How's that anything BUT meeting some stupid diversity quota? How am I supposed to suspend disbelief when you do shit like that? And she's a wholly unnecessary character so it's not like it's even paramount to the storyline - she's just in the background looking like a dwarf in a scooter. As an angel.

There's nobody as interesting as the kids or whichfinders from Season 1. The 'mystery' isn't actually going anywhere. Jon Hamm is being played as a fish out of water when he ALWAYS works best as the coolest guy in the room.

This thing is just...ordinary. There's absolutely nothing about it worth watching. It's a hell of a bummer because Pratchett and Gaiman built a heck of a universe for them to operate in.
