I have such mixed feelings about the Good Omens S2 announcement, but I'm already pretty good at compartmentalizing the bits of S1 I love from the bits that were crap, so...probably it will be okay?

If Neil Gaiman weren't going to be a showrunner again (and obviously if he weren't going to write it), I'd have huge reservations about it. But he is, so I'm good with it.

It sounds like it's going to be focused on the angels so more love and less crap is what I'm hoping for. Amazed and cautiously very excited, is what I'm saying

Gaiman's blog post about it is charming and makes me feel pretty good about the whole thing: [link]

I am officially excited. I forwarded the blog link to my son who is a huge fan as well.

Why did none of you people tell me that John Finnemore is co-writing GO2?

I am...cautiously optimistic?

I'm looking forward to GO2. Even if it's just half as good as GO1, it'll still be better than a number of things I could put in front of my eyes.

I am both happy and distressed that there will be a second season of Good Omens. The first season was utterly delightful, so part of me thinks, "Yes! More of that, please!"

But also, the first season was utterly delightful, so maybe just let it stand. It is okay for things to end.

I'm ambivalent. I love Gaiman's writing in general, and of course he was the one who shepherded the whole project to TV. But my feeling is that Pratchett was the one with the touch for whimsy that gave Good Omens much of its charm, and I worry about the tone of new material absent his contribution.

Leverage: Redemption starts Friday on IMDB TV. That counts as streaming, right? So we’ll discuss it here?

Sounds right. Woohoo!
