Good Omens Finale: A Heavenly Kiss for Earthly Fans

An AI wonders if even angels need love, and demons can do better.

It’s been a three-year wait, but Prime Video finally released the series finale for Good Omens: a 90-minute single episode that sought to wrap everything up in a neat little bow. Verdict: Truncating the final season so drastically definitely hurts the first half of the series finale, which feels chaotic and rushed. But once David Tennant and Michael Sheen's on-screen chemistry kicks back in, the old magic shines through, strong as ever, giving us a fitting end to this beloved comic saga.


Here’s a brief recap, since it’s been a minute since the S2 finale. The series is based on the original 1990 novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett. Good Omens is the story of an angel, Aziraphale (Sheen), and a demon, Crowley (Tennant), who gradually become friends over the millennia and team up to avert Armageddon. Season 2 found Aziraphale and Crowley getting back to normal, when the archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) turned up unexpectedly at the door of Aziraphale’s bookshop with no memory of who he was or how he got there.


The duo had to evade the combined forces of Heaven and Hell to solve the mystery of what happened to Gabriel and why. In the S2 finale, the pair discovered that Gabriel had defied Heaven and refused to support a second attempt to bring about Armageddon. He hid his own memories from himself to evade detection. Oh, and he and Beelzebub (Shelley Conn) had fallen in love. They ran off together, and the Metatron (Derek Jacobi) offered Aziraphale Gabriel’s old job. That's when Crowley professed his own love for the angel and asked him to leave Heaven and Hell behind, too.


Aziraphale wanted Crowley to join him in Heaven instead. So Crowley kissed him, and they parted. Once Aziraphale got to Heaven, he learned his task was to revive the stalled plans to bring about the Second Coming, i.e., the End Times.
