I truly loved Good Omens 2 until the very end. The show made me smile, and feel happy while enjoying it until about the 4th episode when I realized where they were pointing it.

The first season was better than the book it was based on.
Them's bold words. I may have to sail the seas to see that, most books that get a TV series I usually have to agree could have had punchier editing and trimmed some fat, which TV can be good for. But Good Omens wouldn't have been one of them.
I watched the show first, so it may be that. The writing was enjoyable, but it went on a bit, and I was beginning my Masters education.
Heh, "went on a bit" is still fair I guess, and I imagine that's probably even a phrasing Pratchet would describe himself with.
I guess what makes me less inclined to want to edit that one down is even the pointless parts weren't bland like so many other authors. They had enough character that the extra waffle felt like an additional part of the experience to a story told from the POV of some charming immortal eccentrics used to having too much time.
Oh I agree. It was a lot of fun to read.
