"Good Omens" S01 (Amzn, 6, 1-hr eps) had the potential to be great, it really did, it has a good storyline and a stellar cast so where does it fail - direction and a budget that limited it to a first-time filmmaker's effort. Doug Mackinnon (British director) hasn't really distinguished himself with any production and he continues his legacy of mediocrity here, too. His vision for this telling is frivolous and trite even as he's hamstrung by a budget that can't afford costuming and VFX that match the story's needs. All this makes for a poor, lackluster vision for what angels and demons are - dapper humans, apparently - and for what heaven appears to be - something akin to the all white Apple stores of yore within a NYC-style cityscape. There's a lot of offbeat British humor that never really scores, British cultural and societal mannerisms that are offputting, but brightside, there are snippets of Queen's hits throughout. However, I could only make it into episode five - where the Four Horsemen which includes two women because you know gender diversity was so important in ancient times (not) are regular 'ole humans on motorcycles - before I had enough of the nonsense and idiocy, sticking through it to the end would've been more painful than I could further endure, because believe me, you have to forgive a whole lot of frivolity to make it that far. It's ashame, so much potential just frittered away. (Nailed it! Cancelled after one season!)
