Good Omens 2 - A lot of non-sense with a heartbreaking end

After how much I loved the first season of Good Omens, I was very excited to learn about a second season. I was expecting the same level of laughter and entertainment and I'd soon be disappointed.

Archangel Gabriel

This season, Gabriel is the problem to be solved—nothing too complicated, a simple plot that could be quite interesting.

The Archangel Gabriel appears naked in the middle of the street, carrying an empty box with no memories at all… Curious? So was I.

After this entrance, you'll sit in front of the screen waiting for… nothing. Nothing happens most of the time.

Sure, there are some interesting flashbacks that only prove the great friendship Crowley and Aziraphale have, but that's short to keep you interested.

Crowley takes the prize

The whole season rests on Crowley's shoulders. It is the one thing to keep it from falling apart - a great character, interpreted by a great actor. No matter how bad this season is, he still can save the situation and keep us watching the show.

The chemistry between Sheen and Tennant is absolutely perfect. They carry the show by themselves, which is quite amazing (they deserve an award), but… something is missing this season.

Heartbreaking end

I felt like I spent a bunch of episodes seeing nothing happening, and then everything happened in the last one. It kind of saved the season, to be honest. It is a great episode, with a great cliffhanger for a potential third season, but absolutely heartbreaking.

I think Good Omens' quality was frankly lower this season, but somehow, it still kept me watching and eager for a third one. Excellent actors can, indeed, make any story work.

Wednesday 2 (Part 1) – A Gorgeously Dark Return to Nevermore

Wednesday Season 2 lands with all the gothic flair that made the original binge-worthy —this time spotlighting even richer family dynamics and chilling new mysteries at Nevermore Academy. The first four episodes dropped on Netflix August 6, 2025 , with fans grudgingly waiting until September 3 for Part 2 . Why It’s Still a Blast Jenna Ortega continues to shine as a morose sleuth grappling with her supernatural talents and unwanted hero status. Her sharp delivery and deadpan wit are as compelling as ever. Family ties get deeper attention —Pugsley’s arrival at school, Morticia’s campus involvement (with Catherine Zeta-Jones in flamboyant form), and intriguing new faces like Steve Buscemi as the oddball new principal elevate the ensemble. Atmosphere and aesthetic remain rich and inventive. Tim Burton’s return as director (including a delightfully eerie animated sequence) and the inclusion of ominous crows and haunting visuals continue to delight. Mystery hooks abound...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
