The road to the final season of Prime Video’s Good Omens has not been without its potholes. In fact, it’s a miracle that we got a third installment at all. After Neil Gaiman’s allegations, it would have been understandable for Prime to drop the planned third season. Luckily, it was eventually greenlit, though as a ninety-minute finale rather than a normal episodic season.
Being able to fit a story meant for six episodes into one film is a near-impossible task. Things must be sacrificed. With the finale at times it was apparent that plot lines had to be shortened or combined for the sake of time. The pacing of the story did make up for all of that, but it wasn’t perfect, and it was never going to be. It was destined to be a fast-track of what we could have gotten. Jesus deserved more screen time to become a real character, and Michael deserved to have more on-screen motivation behind their actions.
