I loved the first season because I’m a huge fan of Pratchett and Gaiman, so was a little nervous that the next series, with no source material to adapt wouldn’t hit the mark. But then I saw that Neil had asked John Finnemore to help him write it, and that sealed it for me. No one could replace Terry, but John Finnemore comes damn close.
Anyway, season 2 is wonderful, with some beautiful little references to Pratchett’s Discworld. Also, I’d gladly watch Sheen and Tennant together in anything.
Just watched the first episode and am struck by how better much Michael Sheen would have been as Bilbo in The Hobbit trilogy.
I was deeply disappointed by it, and found it clumsy, slow, heavy-handed, and contradicts some parts of the original.
Guess I’m just jaded and grumpy…
I binged it yesterday. It was great. Jim is the best new character of the season.
I’m so glad to hear this. I haven’t started watching series 2 yet but am really looking forward to it.
It’s been so long, I even forgot what it was about in the first season.
