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.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Grief in the Shadows: Why 'The Silencing' Stands Out

A moody thriller about grief, violence, and how far we go for the ones we love. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Game of Thrones ) is Rayburn Swanson , a former hunter who now lives in isolation, running a wildlife sanctuary named after his missing daughter. Years after she vanished, Rayburn is just barely functioning—haunted, grieving, and clinging to the hope that she might still return. When a murdered girl turns up in the woods with eerie similarities to his daughter's disappearance, the local sheriff, Alice Gustafson ( Annabelle Wallis ), launches an investigation. Rayburn, meanwhile, accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious masked figure hunting a girl on his land. This encounter pulls him into the heart of the case in ways he never expected. The investigation twists, misleads, and slowly unravels, building toward a reveal that isn’t obvious—and intentionally so. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Themes of Grief and Family What makes The Silencing compelling is...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...
