I stumbled on Good Omens 2 and thought I'd give it a go. I had not seen nor read anything prior. So I came to it from a pure perspective. And wow what a belabored unfunny mess. The writing is the worst culprit as it fails to create characters or a story one can care about. In fact, they are both mostly irritating in a repetitive, hackneyed manner. Gabriel's gag is a good example. He shows up naked without any idea who he is. Rather than creating comedy or deftly moving the story along, his forgetfulness scene goes on and on until my finger kept inching towards the back button on the wand. And while many of the actors are well known and mostly proficient here, they just stutter in wild eyed alarm or fear much of the time without any redeeming qualities to endear themselves to the audience. That's a bad omen. Again, it's a failure of the writing not the actors, but this series is not even remotely entertaining.
