Comment on Good Omens Renewed for a 3rd and Final Season on Prime Video

Yeah that’s what I mean, Miracle Workers started with one premise and then just did something completely different after it ran that premise dry in one season. That’s not entirely a bad thing (it would no doubt have been worse if they’d tried to stretch out the original show) but the later seasons were never all that great and you could never feel all that attached to it knowing that they would just refresh everything every season. The 3rd season was pretty much milking in it dry.

That’s a weird way to describe an anthology series…

  That’s not what it started as, though. That’s what it became after season 1.
  
  Season 1 had a very specific pitch that was captivating. Seasons 2 & 3 were just the same actors in different settings.

    You’re being facetious and ignoring my point. Seasons 2 and 3 were anthology, but season 1 wasn’t. Season 1 was completely different, for starters they were all characters in heaven, while 2 and 3 were just people on earth. Hell, even the IMDB description only covers season 1:
    
    A comedy set in the offices of Heaven Inc. When God plans to destroy the Earth, two low-level angels must convince their boss to save humanity. They bet him they can pull off their most impossible miracle yet: help two humans fall in love.
    
    They ran out of material at the end of season 1 and recycled the show into something else. Now, it’s an anthology show, but it was never intended to be that at the outset.
