Aziraphale and Crowley are living their lives perfectly fine until one day Gabriel, the Supreme Archangel of Heaven knocks on Aziraphale’s bookshop. Gabriel has no memory of the past, and he has even for gotten his name. As Aziraphale and Crowley embark on a mission to find out what is up with Gabriel, they come across an unexpected story which unravels a bunch of secrets.

It turn out that Gabriel and Beelzebub eventually fell in love during their meetings regarding a new armageddon on Earth. The two decide that it will be wrong to have another armageddon, their meetings soon turn into cute date. A romance between the higher powers of Heaven and Hell is something very, very unusual but the two beings have their decision set in stone. When Shax declares a war on Aziraphale’s bookshop to get hold of Gabriel, her plan falls through. The archangels of Heaven and the higher demons of Hell come to Aziraphale’s bookshop where Gabriel’s memory loss is unraveled. His memory is also restored and he and Beelzebub leave their posts to live a life with each other.

Crowley comes to a stark realisation then. When Aziraphale returns from his talk with Metatron, he informs Crowley that he has been offered the position of the Supreme Archangel to replace Gabriel. But Crowley is not happy. He listens to Aziraphale but also puts his two cents on the matter. He urges Aziraphale to give up the offer and to live with Crowley. Crowley launches into a heartbreaking confession of love towards Aziraphale, and also kisses him. But Aziraphale is firm on his decision.

Despite the new events unfolding, it is not without suspicion that something large is at play in the Heaven. Aziraphale might just be a pawn in the larger scheme of things. Now he is without Crowley’s help, so who knows what challenges he might have to face? Aziraphale and Crowley go their separate ways with feelings of anger and sadness between them.

Good Omens Season 2 Review | Good Omens Season 2 Ending

Good Omens Season 2 lands fair and square on its promise to present a comical yet gripping tale of angels and demons. As Aziraphale and Crowley solve the mystery behind Gabriel’s anaemia, they also unravel their emotions towards each other. Since the first season, there has been a canon that Aziraphale and Crowley are more than just two best friends. Fans have been speculating that Aziraphale and Crowley might have romantic feelings for each other. This was confirmed right from the first episode of season two, when Crowley exclaims “Beautiful” Aziraphale, being the romantic he is thinks it is for him and blushes for a second there.

In the finale episode though, we see one of the best romantic confessions in the fictional TV show universe. When Crowley urges Aziraphale to give up the offer of being the Supreme Archangel and give a chance to their story, whe Crowley says to Aziraphale that “We can become us”, the fandom collectively lost their minds. It was one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking love confessions which did not have an “I Love You” in it but it spoke volumes nonetheless.

When Crowley kisses Aziraphale and leaves after, the range of emotions – from sadness, to shock to joy – that reflect on Aziraphale’s face are proof enough to know that the feelings have been mutual for a long, long time. Perhaps since the day they first met. What is so interesting about Good Omens is that it brings forth the underlying idea of hypocrisy within a society. There is ample use of sarcasm and obvious speech to point out the double standard and fake niceties prevailing in the society.

While it borrows ideas, characters and themes of divinity from Christianity, Good Omens does not poke ill-intended humor at one’s faith. The show makes an attempt to show that despite the contrast in Heaven and Hell, one will find that upon closer inspection, the demarcating lines are sometimes blurred on the edges. Aziraphale and Crowley’s friendship and even Gabriel and Beelzebub’s relationship is a testament to the claim that there need not be a warring situation every time.

Neil Gaiman’s writing paired with the late Terry Pratchett’s humour makes a great attempt at presenting a new perspective to the age-old ideas propagated in the society. It also goes to show that there is no thing as black and white even in religion. There is, and always will be a grey area where one needs to think upon one’s morals and conscience before making decisions of any degree.

Good Omens is a literary, visual and auditory treat for the viewers. It packs with it a delectable string of music and tracks which accentuate the situations on screen very well. It goes without saying that the addition of music sometimes also strikes a funny chord to the whole viewing experience. In conclusion, Good Omens, one might argue, is an acquired taste. But if you are a fan of all things mystical, celestial, moral and societal then I am sure that you would love the show as much as I do.
