Season 2 of Good Omens premieres July 28 on Prime Video.
Amazon’s adaptation of Good Omens exhausted all of the material in the novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman in season 1, but Gaiman and co-showrunner and director Douglas Mackinnon have managed to make the first five of season 2’s six episodes feel like a natural sequel to the apocalyptic comedy. That continuity cuts both ways though as Good Omens’ greatest strength — the relationship between the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and the demon Crowley (David Tennant) — continues to shine, while the quality still notably dips whenever the duo isn’t on screen.
After averting armageddon in season 1, the prissy Aziraphale and the bad-boy-even-by-demonic-standards Crowley have settled back into enjoying life on Earth. But when the supreme archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) shows up at Aziraphale’s bookshop with no memories, he sets off a new farcical conflict between Heaven and Hell that Aziraphale and Crowley have to navigate with their signature mix of amusing bickering and lighthearted scheming.
Gabriel was by far the best of the supporting characters in season 1, and Hamm does a great job with an expanded role. He’s earnest and vulnerable as he tries to earn Aziraphale’s protection, while flashbacks showing him unquestioningly enacting Heaven’s questionable wishes demonstrate the danger that lurks beneath his joviality.

The first five episodes of season 2 of Amazon’s Good Omens adaptation have the same strengths and weaknesses as season 1. The series can get a bit bogged down in cosmology and plots involving its less-developed supporting cast, but it’s absolutely electrifying when David Tennant and Michael Sheen are sharing the screen together as a duo willing to ...
