‘Everyday, it’s a-gettin’ closer
Goin’ faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey, hey.’
If you enjoy good music, you might recognize this song. It’s called ‘Everyday,’ sung by Buddy Holly, released back in 1957. Recently, it was covered in Amazon Prime’s Original Good Omens 2.
Now, coming straight to the point, Good Omens 1 came out in 2019, and this year they released its second season. I can’t express how eagerly I waited for this one. Good Omens is about the friendship between Angel Aziraphale (played by Michael Sheen) and the fallen angel (demon) Crowley (David Tennant) Remember he was in Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire too?). Yes, both are experienced actors and perform marvelously. This show is written by Neil Gaiman (season 1) and John Finnemore (season 2) and directed by Douglas MacKinnon.
The story revolves around our two main characters, Aziraphale and Crowley, who are sent to Earth by Heaven and Hell.
In season 1 of Good Omens, we witness how Aziraphale and Crowley come together to prevent Earth’s Armageddon. Season 2 focuses on Archangel Gabriel. Gabriel rejects the second coming of Armageddon on Earth, resulting in losing his position. However, he chooses to put his memory into a fly and leaves Heaven. Despite his lost memory, he discovers Aziraphale’s bookshop in London on Earth.
Now, both Heaven and Hell launch an intense search for him. Both sides suspect that Aziraphale and Crowley are involved. Initially, Crowley hesitates to assist Aziraphale in protecting Gabriel, but let’s face it, he can’t abandon Aziraphale. So, he decides to help him.
In the last episode, Gabriel remembers everything. We find out he and Beelzebub (the demon from Hell) have fallen in love. Once the truth comes out, Gabriel and Beelzebub quit their jobs and go to Alpha Centauri, choosing love over picking sides. For now, the second coming of Armageddon is canceled by Metatron, and angels and demons return to their respective realms.
There’s a twist at the end: Crowley realizes he loves Aziraphale, and Aziraphale is appointed as the supreme angel of Heaven. Aziraphale wants Crowley to join him, but Crowley decides against it. He doesn’t want to go to Hell or Heaven; he just wants to be with Aziraphale.
There’s even a kissing scene between Aziraphale and Crowley as they part ways, giving us hope for a season 3.
I really want Aziraphale to love Crowley back in season 3. It’s clear from season 1 (and just common sense) that they already love each other a lot.
I told you a lot about the show, but I suggest you watch it. It offers both comedy and valuable lessons about friendship.
Michael Sheen and David Tennant, without a doubt, have portrayed their roles exceptionally well. So, give it a watch!
Also in case you haven’t heard of Buddy Holly’s Everyday, you can listen to it here.

I haven’t heard of this show but I just added it to my watch list. I am a sucker for good TV shows that are recommended. I think I’ll like it. Thanks! And yes, I know that song by Buddy Holly. I remember it from commercials on tv, too. It’s an oldie but a goodie!
I have heard a lot of great things about the show. I like the actors so I will have to check it out.
I haven’t watched season two yet, but I LOVED the first season. I can’t wait to finally be able to watch this season.
I can say, this is the first I’ve heard of Good Omens, but your synopsis has inspired me to check it out. It sounds like it has a lot of twists and turns to keep viewers coming back for more!
I will pass on this webseries as it is not my style of movie. Thanks for the review.
I’ve never heard of this show before. Sounds like an interesting show. I’ll have to check it out.
I’ve seen this online series advertise before, and all I hear are good things. I know my daughter has put this on her ro-watch list too.
I have never watched this show or even heard of it and I see season one came out in 2019! I thought I’m a series watcher now I’m doubting myself . I love the review and I’m putting it on my to watch list.
Thanks for the review of season 2. I won’t be watching as, for me,, the story was complete at the end of season 1.
It’s definitely a little bit different from other shows. You made me curious!
I have been seeing commercials for this show recently and will have to check it out as I have not seen this show yet, I appreciate you sharing as I am looking for a new good show to watch and I can binge the first season to get started 😉
I have only ever watched the first episode and never got around to watching the others. It was very good, so I will have to work my way through.
I can’t wait to watch it, can’t wait!!! I watched Good omens 1 a couple of years ago and loved it!!!
i want to watch this series but hoping to read the books first before starting the show
This is definitely a show that is outside of my norm. I’ll have to check it out.
I’ve never heard of the show but it sounds really good! I like the idea of both heaven and hell working together. The actors are so talented, I know I will enjoy this show.
Haven’t heard of this show until now but sounds very creative and cheeky and I mean that cast! Love Sheen and Tennant but a fabulous duo!
I have never heard of this web series. It really is not my thing. thanks for sharing this with us.
Oh wow! I wasn’t anticipating spoilers, but I am looking forward to picking Good Omens back up and watching the new season!
Wow, what an intriguing plot! I am glad to see that love wins in the end. It’s interesting to see how the characters evolve throughout the series and how they end up making choices that challenge their beliefs. The twist at the end is unexpected, but it adds a romantic element to the story. I can’t wait to see what happens next and if there will be a season 3. It’s great to see how the show explores themes of love, loyalty, and morality in a fun and engaging way. Thanks for sharing!
I have heard of Good Omens, but have not yet indulged in watching it. I need to add it to my rotation.
Beautiful series! I have not seen it, but your review intrigued me. I’ll watch it!
And the song is a simply marvelous!
I’m just gearing up to watch the first season, so I’m glad to hear that the second season doesn’t disappoint!
This sounds like a good show. I’ll have to check in to it and start watching it.
I have heard about this show before, but I’ve never watched it. Sounds like an entertaining series.
I loved your review of “Good Omens 2”! Love your title too ! Your heartfelt insights into the heavenly harmony of the show are spot on. It’s refreshing to read such an engaging take on the series. Can’t wait to see more of your reviews in the future. Keep up the great work!
I adore this show. Love it. Binged it in a day and a half. But I’m left broken hearted and waiting for the next heart breaking season!
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of Good Omens until now! I’ve loved David Tennant since Doctor Who (and then Harry Potter, as you mentioned), and I’ve read almost all of Neil Gaiman’s books. It’s a mystery! Well, I’m glad I stumbled upon your blog post while looking for something new to watch because this sounds fantastic. I love the hint of LGBTQ+ representation, and the story sounds really interesting. I love how you gave us an overview without revealing too much, so we’d still want to watch!
I LOVE Good Omens ever since it was a book. Being a Terry Pratchett fan I just couldn’t skipit. And it also made me meet Niel Gaiman books which I enjoy endlessly as well. The season 2 for me was no less than season 1. Yes, not as epic and not that hilarious (funny enough though) but so romantic and adorable.
I haven’t heard of this! This is an awesome review – thank you for sharing it I will have to look into it sometime
It’s fantastic to read your review of Good Omens 2! The show’s blend of classic music, charismatic actors like Michael Sheen and David Tennant, and a unique storyline centered around the friendship between an angel and a demon is truly captivating. The evolution of the plot from preventing Armageddon in the first season to the focus on Archangel Gabriel and the intriguing search for him in the second season sounds intriguing. Your insights have definitely piqued my interest even more. Can’t wait to dive into this heartfelt heavenly harmony!
I can’t believe Good Omens two is already out and Good Omens 1 came out in 2019! Man time is flying. Can’t wait to check out #2 based on your review!
This is the first time I’ve heard about this show it sounds really great I’m gonna check this out
This looks like a really great show! I’m surely gonna check this out my husband would love this too for sure
I have never seen the series. I love a good comedy show. I will have to check it out.
I admittedly scrolled a little fast because I am in the middle of this series right now. I love the show so much. I’ll peek back in a couple of days.
Hhhhmmmm….I haven’t watched this show before. I always see it’s adverts. Let me start with it’s trailers and see how it goes.
I have seen the trailer but didn’t actually get time to watch. After reading your review I would love to watch it.
Having seen the trailer for this show, it seems to be really good! Thanks for sharing your review here
Buddy Holly was born and raised in Lubbock Tx. I also was born and raised there until I turned 16. Then we moved to the DFW area where I am today. I’ll have to check out this tv series.
This is an interesting review, never seen it before but I would love to ask my partner to watch this one together. Thank you fo sharing!
I love this show. I’m waiting for some friends and family to finish it so I can get their reaction to the end…which you spoiled for others in your post LOL. Such a great show…I can’t wait for more.
I love a good storyline. This review definitely points to a great one indeed. Thanks for letting me know – I’ll look into this one over the weekend.
I have not heard of this show before, but you gave us an interesting and honest review.
I really need to watch season 1 as I know this is something I will enjoy. Although I do have the book as well so I’m not sure whether to read the book first x
I particularly enjoyed your discussion of the themes of love, loyalty, and the choices characters make. Your anticipation for a potential season 3 is palpable, and I’m sure many readers share your hope for the further development of Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship. Your recommendation to watch the show is compelling, and I appreciate how you emphasize the blend of comedy and meaningful life lessons that it offers.
Very cool. This isn’t the type of show I would normally watch, but your review has my interest piqued. I especially like that they are embracing the LGBT side of things…we need more and more studios to embrace that!
Always love a Netflix recommendation (saves me flicking through all the not-so=great options they have) I also like to watch programmes that have good life lessons.
Its on Amazon Prime. lol.
Your review of Good Omens 2 has left me intrigued and excited to start watching! I can already feel the anticipation building as I imagine the interactions and conflicts that might arise. You have convinced me that this is a series worth checking out. Thanks for sharing your insights!
I’ve never heard of Good Omens before. Sounds like a good show.
I have several friends following this tv series and they said it is really good. After this review I think I’m gonna binge this coming long weekend.
I am not much into romance, leave aside gay romance, But going by your review here Moni, I am really intrigued about a love between an angel a do-gooder, and a fallen angel, How they each affect each other in this process would be really interesting to watch.
Looking at the poster I had no clue that this is the story Moni. I am quite familiar with angels n Fallen angels as I have watched a couple of series based on them. But the story line n concept of this one is different from the ones i’ve watched. Now I guess I have to start with S1.
I started watching it and then left it mid-way. I guess, I should start with season 1 to understand some of the contexts. I will keep it on my to-be-watched list for sure.
Heard this tru you and does sound interesting. Would definitely looks forward to the next season to know if your wish came true.
Your review of Good Omens 2 actually proved to be interesting to me but unfortunately I am not that keen to watch English series or movies. But No worries I am recommending this one to my husband as he is a die-heart English movie lover. Your insights of this movie will help me to give a brief to my husband and I am sure he will love to watch. Thanks for the recommendation.
Good Omens 2 sounds like an interesting view, thanks for reviewing, will catch it soon. Sandy N Vyjay

Kinda sounds like I might enjoy this one… Adding to the list. Thank you
This looks like an interesting show me and my hubby could binge watch. I usually pick lousy shows so having this reviewed by many and having read the summary of it before really watching it gives me a good feeling it won’t be a waste of time watching.
I appreciate the work you put into this article. It’s interesting and well-written. Nice job!
This sound like a good show
I love Michael Sheen! I will watch anything with him in it and this looks good.
