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.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been

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

I honestly had to pause the first episode because I was laughing too hard at Nate's grave. That's such a huge fuck you to Timothy Hutton.
Also, because it bears repeating, Aldis Hodge is unreasonably attractive.

Our wings are not tired.
Just watched the first one for a lunch treat. Oh my, it feels like home. So comfy and familiar.

Thrive to spite them
I am not finished with the episode yet but I like Noah Wylie in this. It reminds me of why I liked him in ER rather than why I found him annoying in The Librarians.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
'Suela, I made loud "That is a place I have been to!" noises at that.
To my enormous amusement, Kane's "Thinking of You" just popped up on a playlist.
I have questions!
Did Maggie come to the funeral? Did Sterling come to the funeral? If so, I am sure he was exquisitely well behaved, out of respect for his former best friend and the certain knowledge that if he had poked the body to be sure Nate was dead, Eliot would have considered killing him a worthy distraction from his own grief.
Can Maggie and Tara come visit? Surely the team needs something authenticated or decoded?
Parker's "Don't leave [Brianna] with me, I am not a parent" - oh, my heart.
