By reducing the scale, 'Good Omens' has increased the emotional stakes.
The Big Picture Terry Pratchett's and Neil Gaiman's best-selling novel Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch tells a self-contained story filled with wonderful characters and deep ruminations on faith and the nature of evil. Gaiman himself masterfully adapted the book for Prime Video as a TV show starring Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale and David Tennant as the demon Crowley.
Season 2 of Good Omens also has a big mystery at its core, with Aziraphale and Crowley joining forced to find out how Supreme Archangel Gabriel lost his memory and why the forces of Heaven and Hell are hunting the once-powerful angel. Still, this time around, Good Omens has a minimalistic cast of supporting characters and a central plot that could fit in three episodes at most.
‘Good Omens’ Season 2 Improves on the Series Themes Season 1 of Good Omens explored how binary morality does more harm than good, showing that Heaven could sometimes be as bad as Hell. The issue comes from trying to paint the world in black and white, forgetting that the many shades of grey make humans so interesting.
The limits of the orthodox Christian faith as a tool of ethics are also part of the first season of Good Omens. Yet, the smaller scope of Season 2 allows the show to properly investigate the issue, which it does brilliantly. In doing so, Season 2 of Good Omens also doubles down on the first season’s endorsement of the transformative power of love.
