Good Omens Update
Added 2024-04-24 10:10:55 +0000 UTCSo I was seriously going to drop the show after season 1, but a lot of people have managed to convince me that the show gets better and is worth still watching.
I'm choosing to trust you all, since you all seem like pretty honest folks, but I need a weeks break. So there will be no Good Omens episode this Thursday.
On Youtube I will take a break that week from posting Good Omens as well between seasons so that Patreon is still 2 episodes ahead when I pick it back up again next week, I just really need a break from it.
Comments
Season 2 is *gayer* than season 1, but it's a far cry from *better.* It's more like a shipping fic to bridge the gap between seasons 1 and 3. And I have to give a wicked hahd* disagree regarding the comments above that the original book didn't translate well to the screen — the problem was more that certain aspects (like the Newt/Anathema relationship) were translated *badly*, and would have worked a lot better if they had been left closer to the source material. *why yes, I am from Boston, why do you ask?

2024-04-24 18:10:54 +0000 UTCYeah, season one tried to stick heavily to the book, which, while I love the book, it just doesn't translate that well to the screen. If you need a break, that's totally understandable. Better to pause for a bit so hopefully there's less negative feelings going into season two. I feel it's worth the wait, season two is leagues above season one, IMO. I hope you enjoy it too.

2024-04-24 16:05:53 +0000 UTCI think it’s a good idea to take a bit of a break! I’m glad you’re reacting to season 2 - you’re in for a real (gay!) treat :) After having seen season 2, season 1 pales so much in comparison lol.

2024-04-24 15:44:48 +0000 UTCThere's a Good Omens fanfic (written before S2 so no spoilers) in which Crowley goes to therapy. That's the whole premise and it's the best fanfic I've ever read of anything. It's called "Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach" https://archiveofourown.org/works/20177950/chapters/47807593

2024-04-24 15:41:38 +0000 UTCI think it's better to take a break between seasons anyways, good omens s2 has such a tonal and visual shift that it might give you whiplash 😅, in the meantime I highly recommend either watching or reacting to the good omens lockdown video either between or before you start season 2 as it's just a nice little bite sized audio snack on how Crowley and aziraphale dealt with the pandemic: https://youtu.be/quSXoj8Kob0?si=7vGZUlukSWfBqP9v

2024-04-24 14:07:00 +0000 UTCAbsolutely, season one is a strange beast since they had to stick to the book which, while I love it, doesn't translate very well to live action. Hope you enjoy the break and enjoy the show once you're back

2024-04-24 11:03:01 +0000 UTCTake your time, better to take some breathing space now to enjoy S2 more without any lingering bitterness from s1. Having seen S2, I think your reaction will be worth the wait 🙃
