How did you come across Good Omens (TV Series)?
Kinda curious about everyone's experiences. I myself got into the show because I heard it starred Michael Sheen

Preliminary Poll
Good Omens
Tumblr media
Submission reason:
Good Omens (2019) took a story about humanity and all its beautiful warts and made it about two supernatural beings reluctantly trying to preserve their favorite date spot instead and I will never fucking forgive it for that.
Propaganda:
The very mention of Alpha Centauri makes me want to bite something.

Wanted to get back to doing some art, so decided to draw Crowley in this outfit
I found my ancient Wacom tablet in this latest move, and it miraculously still works! It made coloring this much easier. I’m rather pleased :>

Promo video for Season 1, 2019 :) (x) Jon: Who is better at keeping secrets under wraps? I'm gonna go with Neil.
Michael: Oh no, not Neil! Neil's terrible [at keeping secrets], he tells everyone everything! We're trying to keep this show under wraps and Neil's like, 'Come and watch it! Come and watch it!' David: I think I'm pretty good [at keeping secrets]. I've been doing secrets for a number of years now. Michael: David keeps his cards very close to his sylphlike chest.
Remember when Neil was (said to be) bad at keeping secrets? :)

Good Omens 2 and playing with expectations
so I watched good omens for the first time in like 2020, had a blast but didnt really think about it again until s2 came out.
and now i realize that one of the things that caused me this obssession brain rot this time around is just how the whole season, but specially the ending, completely subverted my expectations, yet everything that happened is extremely coherent with season 1.
crowley has been asking aziraphale to run away with him for quite some time now. and aziraphale has been "choosing" heaven over him.
smaller things are very coherent too. crowley and taking part in nebula/planet/starmaking. aziraphale and forgiveness. crowley being "unforgivable". alpha centauri.
how can such a coherent finale surprise and smite me so much?
I guess part of it is the queerbait that many fandoms have been subjected to, historically (I was very much into sherlock back in 2014-2017, so you can see where I am coming from...)
but another part is how the final fifteen have a very different tone to the rest of the series. of course, there are some heavy moments in both seasons (the Golgotha being the main one), but those were taken from the biblical lore and not directed to aziraphale and crowley. while there is some drama between them in s1, it is never really serious .crowley was devastated when he thought aziraphale was dead, but we (the audience) knew he was fine. soon, they reunited and faced the end of the world together. there was the fight over holy water in the flashbacks, but we see then make up in the very next scene. so our expectations were set to having crowley and aziraphale have their conflits to be: silly and/or quickly resolved.
I guess that, along the fact that their feelings now have an undeniable romantic nuance confirmed to them, was my fall down the rabbit hole.
I did not expect the series to acknowledge so clearly, very much on screen, the romantic connection between them. before that, this was really heavy subtext, but the leap to text is still pretty uncommom in similar works. even more rare is having the characters kiss, because it leaves no room for subtext anymore. it changes the dinamic between the characters, as well as the perspective of the audience. tv often runs from this sort of change, because it is a risk, but I'm very glad the show took that risk and went with it without looking back.
the risk of changing the tone (even if just for the final fifteen) is also often avoided. "is this show not a comedy?" "isnt everything fine at the end?" so we were left with our expectations completly subverted in both aspects. and yet it all makes sense with everything good omens has showed us before. we were blindsided by the expectations that were firmly constructed for us, the audience, but the ending played out in consonance with the narrative built all through seasons 1 and 2. aziraphale creates situations just to have an excuse to see crowley. crowley is always coming to aziraphale's rescue, no matter what trouble this may give him in hell. btw, crowley could not care less for hell or heaven. "we can go off together, angel". "listen to yourself".
s1 and s2 are so very much in line. I'm glad good omens had the courage to take the leap and subvert everything we were expecting: be it subtext to remain subtext, or a comedy to have its conflit being easily resolved in time for the credits to roll in. and it did it all while making perfect sense for the narrative, with no last minute ill-planned plot twists. it's no wonder we haven't been normal about it since july: when was the last time you watched something like this?
