Huge fan of Pratchett and Gaiman here. Season 1 did not disappoint. 10/10. The show was clever and fun. The story line was suitable for children and adults. The main characters were a group of kids ... but the writing was so clever that adults are also fully engaged. STELLAR SHOW.

I was so excited to see a Season 2!!!

Sadly ... Season 2 was disappointing. This season has become yet another Amazon propaganda piece where diversity is prized above plot or artistic value and we get saddled with characters who don't ring true.

The Angel in a wheelchair? I'm disabled. I like to see representation. But an ANGEL? Why wouldn't she just get divine healing? A human character in a wheelchair ... ok ... that makes sense. But if you're going to give us a powerful angel who can do miracles ... we need some backstory as to why no one did a healing miracle. Feels like she was just written as "we need to show a powerful character in a wheelchair". But did you, really?

Season 2 also felt contrived that nearly EVERY couple is gay or trans. Except for the token straight couple. Yes, the lesbian shop keepers are cute. Their story arc makes sense. Their characters ring true. But another couple felt like: "Oh we need to show a trans person who goes by they/them in a relationship". Not forwarding the plot or deepening characterizations.

I would let children watch it ... nothing too outrageous ... but it lost the innocent fun of Season 1.

I fear some ppl will feel Season 2 isn't suitable for kids b/c they just want to watch a show without having it become a "teaching moment" about trans rights. And I can't blame them. Not every show needs to be "Rocky Horror Picture Show".

Sometimes we want to just relax and enjoy a good story.

The last thing is the end. It ends on a cliffhanger that is clearly the set-up for Season 3. Many shows do this ... but it was jarring. I liked that Season 1 had a proper ending ... and Season 2 was a happy surprise.

Now if feels like we're being manipulated. Season 2 wasn't that good but we HAVE to watch Season 3 to find out what happens. It's a cheap trick that a truly great show (Like Season 1) wouldn't need.
