I agree with you, I was so excited to have a second season but after a couple of episodes I realized that what I mainly enjoyed was the complicity between Tennant and Sheen.

is to develop the relation between the two main characters (like the episode in Scotland).

Overall it was really fun, actors are again fantastic, plenty of laughs, and a very British atmosphere.
Even without season 1 I believe that I would have really enjoyed it.
I want more!

The actors are fantastic! At times, I did have the sinking feeling that the actors were too good for the script.

And that maybe Shelley Conn as Lord Beelzebub wasn't very comfortable with the material?
I forgot which episode it was, perhaps the Scotland episode? Where I suddenly thought, hmm, if only this had been directed by Edgar Wright.
I missed Pterry's voice in this more than I thought I would.
I felt a Finnemore touch in the Aziraphale changes, the overall idiotic quirks of the angels (Gabriel's first scene is 100% Finnemore) and the inbalance in the Crowley/Aziraphale relationship. It's not bad but, there's definitely a tone shift.
It cemented my opinion that I like, not love, Good Omens. It was nice enough and I'm glad it didn't have more episodes. I'm just not into it that much, as much as I wanted to.
Do you like the book, if you've read it?
I only read it in English, so I like it without loving it so much as Pratchett's other books (I'm not a huge Gaiman fan), but it might just be because it's not my native language. I do feel like I'm just over most TV shows, so that might influence how I feel.
Ah, I see. I love the book. Just reading the first page gives me a fuzzy, happy feeling. Having said that, I'm also not a fan of Gaiman's solo works, despite giving them another chance, again and again.
I thought this was the century of the golden bat and TV shows are awesome. What makes you feel like you're over most TV shows? (This is not me throwing shade, I'm really curious)
I don't know! I think the main issue is that since 2020 my work, which was always computer heavy, has starting revolving more and more on video calls. And now, staring at a screen and watching a video is a chore, not a pleasure at all anymore. I've found myself going back to reading good old books in the past couple of years!
My wife and I enjoyed it, though I agree with you about Aziraphale approaching a caricature.
