"We humans are so easily confused. So we buy pornography secretly.
The look of Aziraphale and the customer says that, they say, what kind of morons. Poor Aziraphale, it's really hard with such bosses, and it's also hard to say how perfect they are.

Something tells me that everything would be fine with Adam, he would live a normal life for himself and no Apocalypse would be stirred up, but when these two appear with their positions and sides, problems will begin. Still, they managed to raise the second boy very doubtfully.

I really enjoyed all the moments with Crowley and Aziraphale in the book, but it was incredibly boring to read about all the other characters (may the fans of Pratchett and Gaiman forgive me). But in the series, all the minor characters are interesting to watch! The plot develops briskly, and everything looks very thoughtful and understandable.
+ I was worried that the series might be dark, but no, it's a very beautiful, vivid picture. In general, it's a pleasure to watch!

@di_lantana: I'm bored to watch. It was even more boring to read because Tennant and Sheen weren't there. Now I look at them with pleasure, but everything else... It seems like Britain, and the atmosphere, and the actors are my favorites, but it still doesn't really come in.
I also liked the kids - I immediately wanted to be 11 again. And the same beautiful British accent))

This series is much better than the first one, even for those who have read the book and seem to already know all this, it is very fascinating to watch everything.
I am pleased with the acting, everything is as it should
be, I did not expect that Crowley would be shown threatening his plants, it's just fine, and other important little things are also shown, at the moment, as an adaptation of the book, everything is going well

Oh my God!! they even inserted a joke from the book, where Anathema was afraid of two strange men, but when Crowley said "Get in the car, angel," she thought that "they were one of them, and she was not in any danger" :D

really, the second series is already more lively than the first, or maybe you get used to the storytelling style)
the only negative, in my opinion, is the bookish dialogues, and if Crowley and Aziraphale look cute and canonical, then I would like to hear something more lively from the children, but I hope they will continue to be revealed in the next episodes.)

How they outrun everyone in London and traffic with this car. :)

The reference to Steve Jobs is strange, but OK.

Local Mrs. Hudson with "My knees are not what they used to be. I'll make you tea." and the local Sherlock with "HE'S IN THE ARMY NOW. HE'LL MAKE HIMSELF SOME TEA." :')

"I'm a demon! I'm not nice!"
"Sorry to break up an intimate moment. Can I help you?"
The moment was really beautiful and something really wanted them to kiss. The couple is gorgeous. Barty Crouch Jr. slips into Tennant's facial expressions, but he's still adorable. All this expression. :)
"Of course I'd call you! We're friends!" Their dynamics are wonderful.

It's incredibly boring to look at children and this witch.

Get out the minusculators, because I can't keep quiet. I didn't read the original source, because after rubyb Gaiman, the series American Gods was simply impossible to watch. So I decided to do the opposite with the Good Omens. However, apparently, there was too much Pratchett and not enough Gaiman in the book. The series is credited with subtle humor, but it is as subtle as a concrete wall.. And the jokes have already been joked a hundred times, but in other settings they could be funny, but here.. I do not know what the reason is, but the magic does not work.
The actors' acting is perplexing. Take Tennant, for example. I've seen him in other roles, and he's a great actor, so why is he obviously overdoing it here for the most part? And there are many such replay scenes. Everyone is overplaying. Someone will call this the highlight and style of the series, but it's frankly embarrassing for me to watch, it's a Spanish shame, that's all. For the "theater of the absurd," acting should be more subtle and elegant. And without it, it just looks like clowning.
And I didn't have any preconceptions before I started watching it. I looked at the rating, I thought that I would see, at least, a good, at most, a great series. Alas.
