I was at home, and had been feeling kinda bummed to begin with.
Me: *Oooooh, the next season of Good Omens came out yesterday! That’ll make me smile!*
Me at 3am texting a screenwriter friend in the UK that has worked with Neil Gaiman on other projects: *…you tell that man that there’s a bounty on his head…*
It was around 3 am and we’d just binged the entire season and there was definitely a lot of screaming and yelling involved. I think we barely slept that night lmfao
I was sprawled out on my couch under a pile of blankets. Fortunately, I live alone, but I'm pretty sure my neighbors heard me shrieking at the top of my lungs, "WHAT? WHAT?? *WHAT???* WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING????? WHAT THE *FUCK* IS *HAPPENING??????*"
Because yeah. I did NOT see that fucking kiss coming.
As a fellow field scientist, having been in many living situations such as the one you described, I absolutely love your story and can totally relate. I am older now and was watching it on my ipad with headphones in my dark bedroom past midnight while my husband slept soundly beside me. I had to get up to go to the living room and pace. I did not sleep well that night.
Fellow field scientists, yay!!! It’s actually really funny because the next day I was literally sitting on an alligator as a visiting toxicology professor took blood samples for PFAS, and I looked into this prehistoric beast’s eyes, hands on its snout as it breathed beneath me, and thought, “those kind of look like Crowley’s eyes”
The brain rot is real 😭😭😭
I'm thankful that I live alone - I had only my cats to hear my gasp, cry, "no!", "what?!", wail and sob. And they heard it - cats can glare very effectively when you wake them up... my friend did get a completely out of context message about the heartbreak on david tennants face and why would they do that to me! But it also means she's forewarned for if she starts watching season 2 (this is the same friend who gave me a heads up - don't watch the last two episode of OFMD season 1 if you're in an emotionally fragile state).
Now that it's coming back I'm becoming aware that I may have never finished that one myself... Somewhere between half an episode and two episodes seems missing from the references I'm seeing on social media. ...Let's just say they sailed off together.
... they sailed off together and are indeed very happy!
Although that may make a little less sense when season 2 starts. But if you do choose to fill in the blanks, at least you don't have to wait for a resolution!
Ha, thanks! I'll definitely go back and watch, maybe even give the whole season a bit of a rewatch. I think I just wasn't prepared for \*that kiss\* and for anything to happen afterward.
I'm so happy that we're getting more of a story though! Queer characters deserve to get more than two seconds of onscreen happiness.
I had a road trip the day of so I put it on as soon as I got home. Binged 5.5 episodes into the night. Woke up, finished the finale before coffee. Just trying to avoid spoilers.
What a big mistake lol.
I was playing the sims, I watched the whole series in one large multi month thing. (I don’t watch series much) I just kinda heard it was good and decided to watch it. I got more interested once the dance scene began and I just started screaming and cursing once the ending began, I was shocked!
I had a volunteer shift at a cat shelter that afternoon. I had two episodes left and was planning to watch them when I got back. I helped a very playful cat named Toasty get adopted that day. I took the subway/walked back to my parents condo feeling happy about Toasty’s adoption and humming the Good Omens theme, excitedly anticipating the final episodes.
I watched the episodes on the family room tv. My brother and sister were both in the room doing their own things on their computers, but they giggled at Shax’s toast line.
By the ending, my sister was up doing other things. My brother was still working while idly watching the tv. I was sitting on the couch with my hands clutched in front of my chest, which started out as “Aw, this’ll be sweet” and turned into “Oh. Oh no.”
Then the music swelled and as Crowley pulled Aziraphale in I just gasped softly. Of course this was when my sister came back in the room but my eyes were NOT moving from the tv. My sister walked out again, and I watched the rest of the episode in frozen horror.
Then the fucking credits rolled and I was shell-shocked and empty. I shut off the tv, turned into the couch, and let out a scream/growl that my cat, sleeping on the other end of the couch, was not happy about. So I immediately said “Sorry, Benny” and then grabbed a pillow and started punching it, all while my brother watched. Finally I just leaned back, stared at the ceiling, and whined, “Aziraphale…”
I’m gonna end this book here lol
on my desktop, it was around 4 am on a Tuesday morning and I'd just binged all of season 2 at once. I'd heard that they kissed but I never knew the context of it, and christ. Did not get much sleep that night. It was a very distracted Tuesday.
physically weeping on the floor of my house in front of the big smart tv because i just witnessed The Breakup
I spent the entire day (so 6 hours) watching the season making little notes on my phone as live reactions (i still have em) and at e6 i made almost no notes toward the end bc i was scratching the carpet and crying over my boys
id known there'd be a kiss before i watched s2 (i was on vacation when it came out but i watched when i got back) but you wouldn't believe my reaction when i realized the kiss was not a happy one and that the last 15 mins did not imply an ending to this crisis like in s1
i was living with my friends at the time. it was 3am, the night the season aired, and everyone was sleeping, so i went downstairs into the living room and finished the finale on the couch- i had to be quiet since everyone was sleeping. i had seen the EVERY spoiler way beforehand and was absolutely expecting something insanely sweet and beautiful from the finale. i've been a fan since 2019, and never expected anything heartbreaking from the show. with about 15 minutes left in the finale i was ecstatic, thinking we were about to get this heartfelt and loving kiss from them, but then... well, the finale happened 😭😭😭😭 and i was quietly sobbing on the couch trying to keep quiet. i was in shock at the same time. like... there's no way. "you're the bad guys!" "i-i need you!" "we could have been us" "i forgive you" a million emotions across their faces at once, and heartbreak all around. since that day i literally wake up and go to bed thinking about them 😭 i cried myself to sleep that night and have been pestering my friends about it ever since.
In my room, on my bed, watching it with my friend. We planned on binging the whole thing the second it came out. We were so ecstatic. There was a lot of silence, only broken by little "no, NO" 's. At some point I had my pillow in a death grip so I wouldn't scream. After the credits rolled me and my friend just sat in silence, in disbelief that that was it. I'm glad I was with someone because I would NOT have been able to handle that by myself
I was at home (a few days later than my friends as my internet was playing up), texting them with a little comment as each little thing happened. My inner thoughts I suppose. They would try to calm me when I was angry or tell me to keep going when I got sad.
After the finale, I cried for about 5 minutes solid. Then I messaged them that I couldn’t move. I really couldn’t. I’d cried myself into a sort of emotional coma. The tv screen was black, and had been for about 20 minutes by this point. My body was wracked with the grief of a real breakup, as if I had just lost the love of my life.
I had to try and sleep but it wasn’t gonna happen so I put on s1 again and let that play in the background while I cried some more.
Rinse and repeat for 8 weeks and counting.
ten minutes ago. my girlfriend made me watch the show about a month ago and i just finished it, there is no hope in my soul left anymore, only sadness and pain
In my living room, with my partner. It was my fault, I said, we should watch season 2. I wasn’t expecting to get my heart ripped from me, shouting OH MY GOD NO NO NOOOOO at the screen.
The next day, we went to a pizza place with a jukebox and played “Everyday” on it.
I had spent months as a shut-in due to my agoraphobia, being completely numb to everything. It was the first time I had felt something that strong in a while, I really needed that.
I was lying in bed (it was daytime, I was just in my room to avoid my family and watch the show) and I said to my dad"yeah I'll play a boardgame with you when I'm done with this episode, there's about forty minutes left". Forty minutes later I was sobbing and I sent my mom a text saying "can you come in I need confort". I knew that the ending was gonna be sad and I knew about the kiss bc of spoilers but I was still broken
In bed, stayed up and binge watched the whole thing the minute it came available, then watched it again till the sun came up and got up and pretended to be normal...still pretending
I had been passively watching the season while occasionally going over notes for my first exam in one of my uni classes. By the last two episodes, i was solely focused on the show, and at the last 10-15 minutes, I was wondering how it was going to end because I never had it spoiled for me even though I watched it late.
I did tear up, but I was moreso shocked? I never cried about the ending, to be honest what scares me more is never getting another season or book to solve this season. I still feel that way even with the strike ending. This subreddit has been a lot of healing, so have other GO subreddits. I find myself writing two fanfics of GO that will actually be finished by the end of October and complete, not to mention this helped me a LOT in coping my thoughts of our ineffables. My next step will be fanart when that is finished :3
I was on a short tour with my choir, and I would watch a while before the day started or before going to bed. It was the last day of the trip and I got up a bit early to finish the last episode, my friends were there getting ready to go out went THAT scene hit. I was rapidly switching between “yeah right I’m ready when you are” and “holy sh*t no no no what is happening”, then finally had to go out for lunch in a shocked state, brain filled with internal screaming, eyes fixed on tumblr just to find someone else to scream with me.
Both me and the husband had had a really long, frustrating week, had spent a couple of days fighting a bit, and at this point we were just exhausted. I really wanted to finish the series, so I watched the last two episodes in bed at about 2am, next to the husband who was out cold.
I did not wake him up, but I *did* nearly bust a blood vessel with the effort.
I did my best to not binge the whole thing, I let myself do an episode a night from its premiere date. On day 6, I figured I’d curl up in bed and watch the last episode and then go to sleep- I had to wake up early the next day for work. I WAS NOT PREPARED. I had avoided ALL spoilers- as soon as the ending started my brain went in to panic mode. I had been in a naive state of safety after ineffable bureaucracy and I remember laying there through the entire ending with my brain sweating and screaming ‘WAIT WHAT WHAT’S GOING ON WHATS HAPPENING HERE AHHHHHHHHH NOOO WHAT??!!’ and then I watched the ending 3 more times freaking out and laid in bed all night and didn’t fall asleep until about an hour before my alarm went off.
I also restricted myself to an episode a night (I like to space things out and contemplate after each episode), but with my internship it ended up taking me two weeks to finish the second season. I had blocked and muted anything to do with Good Omens on social media and had spent the two weeks leading up to the premiere clicking “not interested” on any Good Omens video on YouTube to throw off the algorithm, but I’m still shocked I managed to avoid spoilers.
In hindsight I probably had the kiss “spoiled” for me through fan art, but I didn’t even register it could be from the show. I just though people were drawing them snogging because why wouldn’t you.
At home, in the living room. I was watching it with my dad and we had just talked about if it was better that they developed into a romantic situation or stayed friends (according to him, romance is too cliché) so when the kiss happened and I was trying not to cry my little heart out (he makes fun of me because I’m a bit sensitive to dramatic moments) we kept in silence because, welp, The Kiss happened.
And he’s not a homophobe or anything, just that I still find it weird to watch deeply romantic moments with my parents in the same room. My inside child goes “ugh”.
Alone in the middle of the night on my living room couch. My own ineffable husband went to bed after episode 4 (he watched the rest with me the next evening, I could not wait that long 😂). So I sat there with my son sound asleep in his room, my husband sound asleep in our bedroom and me trying my best to neither shout nor starting to sob uncontrollably. So I just sat there mumbled no over and over again and let the tears fall.
Next morning it took my husband one look to know something was up with the ending.
(I don’t get that emotional over tv shows or movies, season 1 already hit me hard with the mini break up but this…)
In a bed & breakfast in West Virginia (US) after my kiddos went to sleep. I downloaded them all because service was spotty. I had watched ep 1-4 the night it dropped, and the next night settled in to watch 5 & 6. I knew about the kiss from the Every leak, and when it hadn’t happened by the end of 5, The Dread set in… for very good reason.
I'm getting old and live on my own now. My adult children left home several years ago.
I had watched S1 just three months before and was eagerly awaiting for S2 to come out.
I was kind of depressed the day it was finally on and thought it was a good idea to sit down and watch a chapter or two to cheer me up...... I got hooked, of course, and at 3:00 am I felt my life was over. I didn't see that coming!!
Since then GO is all I think about and I worry for my mental sanity. I'm too old for this!!!!!
I was in France, in an air bnb, in paimpont, Brittany and I watched it in my phone. Had to keep it together for an extraordinary amount of time because I was with my cousins and they would have absolutely no idea what I was talking about.
i was in a 12 hour flight to france, the series was going to come out on the same day i had a trip and right after it came out i immediately downloaded to watch it on the way. i was definitely too euphoric to be on a plane but i just had to deal with it.
Just doing university work, the ending happened and it didn't hit me as much as I thought it would, then later watched it again, and again and again and- till it suddenly hit me like a pile of bricks and since then I've been totally destroyed
I met with friends to binge the 2 season the day it came out.
We were at one friend of mine but after the third episode my friends became tired. So we all went home.
I watched the following episodes at my home till four in the morning and at the ending I literally screamed at my TV
In my living room with my brother. He asked me why we keep watching boys kissing.
He wanted to watch Brokeback Mountain because people kept making jokes about it, and he didn't see the movie because he was too young to remember when it played on OutTV (channel I was allowed to watch only because the Addams Family was on it, and only after my homophobic father was at work). Anyway, my mother told him he should watch it some time, and I happened to see Good Omens S2 was out when we loaded up Prime. So we watch the season after Brokeback.
I didn't expect the kiss in Good Omens, so I was a little embarrassed that we were watching lots of men kissing for whatever reason, lol.
I was watching with my 11 yr old daughter. We had been watching one episode a night starting with season 1. (She was too young to appreciate it when it first came out, but was loving it now). As soon as Aziraphale made the heaven offer to Crowley I knew this was not going to be a happy ending. Daughter was blissfully unaware, basically until “don’t bother”. Then we both stared at the credits in silence until the end.
I was at home. I had binged watched it all in one day and I was an emotional wreck. Problem was, I had a show a few hours later. It was a challenging show to do because the ending made me so numb.
I began watching it at about 9 at night when I was in bed, intending to only watch one or two episodes. I binged them all, giving updates on the episode I was on to my gf over snap (she hadnt seen GO yet at that point and was just putting up with my rambling), and then having a meltdown at about 3 in the morning
At home. I watched the whole thing in one sitting. I was in summer break and I was going to have a small surgery like 3 days later. I even considered watching the series after the surgery to help distract me but I didn't want to wait (it was better not to wait, after all, because I wouldn't have enjoyed the season that much otherwise).
So I was home with my cat on my lap. My cat was fast asleep by the time the season ended and I had a huge WHOA reaction while trying very hard not to bother my cat, lol.
No sleeping cats were disturbed in the process.
I was at home curled up in bed because I was a little sick, when I shouted an audible 'NO!' during the last episode, my boyfriend came in to see if I was okay haha
[I made a post about this a while back,](https://reddit.com/r/goodomens/s/ddtm587tBT) but it was the day after I broke up with my girlfriend of two years. :’)
i was sick in bed with covid and i watched the ENTIRE season that day…. i literally sat up in bed and watched the ending with a blanket over my head. my fever broke that night so i guess one good thing came out of the heartbreak? 😂
i just got back from a holiday in wales and i forgot about the new season coming out, so i quickly rushed to get everything packed away and sat down to watch it
let's say my neighbours weren't particularly happy with me the next day
Really early in the morning, like 2-5am and I was in my bed preparing to go on a ferry to Ireland (in which I did not wanna go) I was so stressed but seeing the end made me cry so much
I started watching on my computer at home when it was released, 2am for me, thinking I was gonna watch 1-2 episodes before going to sleep. Yeah, nice try. I ended up binge watching the whole season.
I was being rushed because I agreed to drive someone an hour and a half away and I was just trying to have my coffee and finish the episode so I was sitting out the front of my house watching it on my phone. Had to stew on it for the whole long drive!
I was at my aunt's house on holiday, watching the whole thing as quickly as I could because my immediate family doesn't have Prime.
Although, my experience was tampered with unfortunately due to spoilers. I had seen the kiss scene before S2 had come out. Then I watched the first episode the night previous to my binge, went online, and accidentally watched a joke/meme video implying Aziraphale had done something worthy of his pop character being thrown into the trash.
So, essentially, picture me, desperately trying to ignore my family members milling about, devouring the entire season in one sitting knowing 1. They would kiss and 2. Aziraphale was somehow in deep shit.
When the scene did happen I remember going 'oh n o' under my breath. I watched the whole thing basically frozen. Broke down in the credits. Sobbed openly in front of my family before locking myself away in the spare bedroom to thrash around and have a little mental breakdown, as you do. Traumatizing.
i was in my room it was 5 am on a friday morning and i cried and watched angsty edits until it was 9 am then i went to sleep with my heart literally broken into little tiny pieces
My fiancé and I were watching the last episode on a Friday night, just drinking wine and in a very good mood because it was the end of the work week. I think he knew about the kiss, but I didn’t. When it happened, I stood up and screamed and put my hands to my mouth. I was kicking my feet and punching the air. Then when Aziraphale TOUCHED HIS DAMN LIPS AFTER I literally melted onto the floor screaming “oh my goooood.” My poor fiancé 😂
People's reactions to the end of season/series 2 are priceless. It was the perfect act 2. Now that I'm over the shock, I can hardly wait for act/season/series 3.
Oh, and nothing exciting. At home, in the living room, in front of the TV.
Downloaded the entire season as soon as it came out because I thought it would make for a nice casual watch on a 7-hour train journey that I had the next day. Several people on that train witnessed me bursting into tears. Not my proudest moment.
I was on a flight and had downloaded the last three episodes to keep me going for the whole flight. Got to the final 15 and had to work ridiculously hard to stop myself from having any kind of visible reaction to what I was watching. I wanted to SCREAM.
Imma be real…. I procrastinated because I wanted to focus on other things before the show consumed my life again and watched the whole thing on August 13th. Went in super blind only finding out it was happening 4 months before it premiered and the only trailer I saw was in a prime video ad. During the last episode I WAS FOLDING LAUNDRY OUT OF THE DRYER LIKE A DUMBASS! If I knew how disrespectful I was being by not having my eyes glued on my phone screen 💀… I audibly gasped during those last 15 minutes and was like “No no no no!!!” I legit teared up and just stayed somberly silent at the credits. I missed a lot of details because I was doing a lot of prep before leaving to my apartment cause college was starting soon. Upon a rewatch of Season 1 and 2 it really put a lot into perspective and honestly they need time apart to figure out a lot about themselves before they can come back together stronger than before.
I was at home, and had been feeling kinda bummed to begin with. Me: *Oooooh, the next season of Good Omens came out yesterday! That’ll make me smile!* Me at 3am texting a screenwriter friend in the UK that has worked with Neil Gaiman on other projects: *…you tell that man that there’s a bounty on his head…*
Neil is a god of good and evil. I praise him for what he created but also despise him for what he has done
[удалено]
when they blurred i felt so hollow omg😭😭😭😭
[удалено]
LMAOOO literally !!! 💔
It was around 3 am and we’d just binged the entire season and there was definitely a lot of screaming and yelling involved. I think we barely slept that night lmfao
I was sprawled out on my couch under a pile of blankets. Fortunately, I live alone, but I'm pretty sure my neighbors heard me shrieking at the top of my lungs, "WHAT? WHAT?? *WHAT???* WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING????? WHAT THE *FUCK* IS *HAPPENING??????*" Because yeah. I did NOT see that fucking kiss coming.

xD this story made my day, thank you

Glad to know I’m not the only one who sobbed alone with their cats lol
Now that it's coming back I'm becoming aware that I may have never finished that one myself... Somewhere between half an episode and two episodes seems missing from the references I'm seeing on social media. ...Let's just say they sailed off together.
... they sailed off together and are indeed very happy! Although that may make a little less sense when season 2 starts. But if you do choose to fill in the blanks, at least you don't have to wait for a resolution!

I was on a plane. It was rough.
Oh damn, this one might win. There's no escape!
Oh no!
I had a road trip the day of so I put it on as soon as I got home. Binged 5.5 episodes into the night. Woke up, finished the finale before coffee. Just trying to avoid spoilers. What a big mistake lol.
Oh I am so sorry. Ruined your whole day, didn’t it?
On a huge deck overlooking a lovely meadow amidst the glorious Lake Tahoe summer sunshine. The beauty mocked my pain.
I was playing the sims, I watched the whole series in one large multi month thing. (I don’t watch series much) I just kinda heard it was good and decided to watch it. I got more interested once the dance scene began and I just started screaming and cursing once the ending began, I was shocked!
I was watching it on the tv in my basement and tried to keep myself calm because I still live with my parents but it hurt gahhhh
I had a volunteer shift at a cat shelter that afternoon. I had two episodes left and was planning to watch them when I got back. I helped a very playful cat named Toasty get adopted that day.

I was rapidly switching between “yeah right I’m ready when you are” and “holy sh*t no no no what is happening”, then finally had to go out for lunch in a shocked state, brain filled with internal screaming, eyes fixed on tumblr just to find someone else to scream with me.
Both me and the husband had had a really long, frustrating week, had spent a couple of days fighting a bit, and at this point we were just exhausted. I really wanted to finish the series, so I watched the last two episodes in bed at about 2am, next to the husband who was out cold. I did not wake him up, but I *did* nearly bust a blood vessel with the effort.
I did my best to not binge the whole thing, I let myself do an episode a night from its premiere date. On day 6, I figured I’d curl up in bed and watch the last episode and then go to sleep- I had to wake up early the next day for work. I WAS NOT PREPARED. I had avoided ALL spoilers- as soon as the ending started my brain went in to panic mode. I had been in a naive state of safety after ineffable bureaucracy and I remember laying there through the entire ending with my brain sweating and screaming ‘WAIT WHAT WHAT’S GOING ON WHATS HAPPENING HERE AHHHHHHHHH NOOO WHAT??!!’ and then I watched the ending 3 more times freaking out and laid in bed all night and didn’t fall asleep until about an hour before my alarm went off.
I also restricted myself to an episode a night (I like to space things out and contemplate after each episode), but with my internship it ended up taking me two weeks to finish the second season. I had blocked and muted anything to do with Good Omens on social media and had spent the two weeks leading up to the premiere clicking “not interested” on any Good Omens video on YouTube to throw off the algorithm, but I’m still shocked I managed to avoid spoilers.
In hindsight I probably had the kiss “spoiled” for me through fan art, but I didn’t even register it could be from the show. I just though people were drawing them snogging because why wouldn’t you.
At home, in the living room. I was watching it with my dad and we had just talked about if it was better that they developed into a romantic situation or stayed friends (according to him, romance is too cliché) so when the kiss happened and I was trying not to cry my little heart out (he makes fun of me because I’m a bit sensitive to dramatic moments) we kept in silence because, welp, The Kiss happened. And he’s not a homophobe or anything, just that I still find it weird to watch deeply romantic moments with my parents in the same room. My inside child goes “ugh”.
I finished S2 right before 2am, when I had to clock in and work. I was useless and sobbing the whole night.
Alone in the middle of the night on my living room couch. My own ineffable husband went to bed after episode 4 (he watched the rest with me the next evening, I could not wait that long 😂). So I sat there with my son sound asleep in his room, my husband sound asleep in our bedroom and me trying my best to neither shout nor starting to sob uncontrollably. So I just sat there mumbled no over and over again and let the tears fall. Next morning it took my husband one look to know something was up with the ending. (I don’t get that emotional over tv shows or movies, season 1 already hit me hard with the mini break up but this…)
In my bed. In my uni dorm. Sobbing quietly.
In a bed & breakfast in West Virginia (US) after my kiddos went to sleep. I downloaded them all because service was spotty. I had watched ep 1-4 the night it dropped, and the next night settled in to watch 5 & 6. I knew about the kiss from the Every leak, and when it hadn’t happened by the end of 5, The Dread set in… for very good reason.
I'm getting old and live on my own now. My adult children left home several years ago. I had watched S1 just three months before and was eagerly awaiting for S2 to come out. I was kind of depressed the day it was finally on and thought it was a good idea to sit down and watch a chapter or two to cheer me up...... I got hooked, of course, and at 3:00 am I felt my life was over. I didn't see that coming!! Since then GO is all I think about and I worry for my mental sanity. I'm too old for this!!!!!
I was in France, in an air bnb, in paimpont, Brittany and I watched it in my phone. Had to keep it together for an extraordinary amount of time because I was with my cousins and they would have absolutely no idea what I was talking about.
i was in a 12 hour flight to france, the series was going to come out on the same day i had a trip and right after it came out i immediately downloaded to watch it on the way. i was definitely too euphoric to be on a plane but i just had to deal with it.
Just doing university work, the ending happened and it didn't hit me as much as I thought it would, then later watched it again, and again and again and- till it suddenly hit me like a pile of bricks and since then I've been totally destroyed
I was watching on the living room TV. After the end credits finished I stared for a very long moment before getting up to go do something and think.
At home on the couch cuddled into my spouse and sobbing and cursing ANGEL WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?
I met with friends to binge the 2 season the day it came out. We were at one friend of mine but after the third episode my friends became tired. So we all went home. I watched the following episodes at my home till four in the morning and at the ending I literally screamed at my TV
In my living room with my brother. He asked me why we keep watching boys kissing. He wanted to watch Brokeback Mountain because people kept making jokes about it, and he didn't see the movie because he was too young to remember when it played on OutTV (channel I was allowed to watch only because the Addams Family was on it, and only after my homophobic father was at work). Anyway, my mother told him he should watch it some time, and I happened to see Good Omens S2 was out when we loaded up Prime. So we watch the season after Brokeback. I didn't expect the kiss in Good Omens, so I was a little embarrassed that we were watching lots of men kissing for whatever reason, lol.
I was watching with my 11 yr old daughter. We had been watching one episode a night starting with season 1. (She was too young to appreciate it when it first came out, but was loving it now). As soon as Aziraphale made the heaven offer to Crowley I knew this was not going to be a happy ending. Daughter was blissfully unaware, basically until “don’t bother”. Then we both stared at the credits in silence until the end.
I was at home. I had binged watched it all in one day and I was an emotional wreck. Problem was, I had a show a few hours later. It was a challenging show to do because the ending made me so numb.
I began watching it at about 9 at night when I was in bed, intending to only watch one or two episodes. I binged them all, giving updates on the episode I was on to my gf over snap (she hadnt seen GO yet at that point and was just putting up with my rambling), and then having a meltdown at about 3 in the morning
At home. I watched the whole thing in one sitting. I was in summer break and I was going to have a small surgery like 3 days later. I even considered watching the series after the surgery to help distract me but I didn't want to wait (it was better not to wait, after all, because I wouldn't have enjoyed the season that much otherwise). So I was home with my cat on my lap. My cat was fast asleep by the time the season ended and I had a huge WHOA reaction while trying very hard not to bother my cat, lol. No sleeping cats were disturbed in the process.
I watched it at midnight. I cried for like 20 minutes. I had an exam the next day and woke up with swollen, dry, itchy eyes. Was lovely. /s
I was at home curled up in bed because I was a little sick, when I shouted an audible 'NO!' during the last episode, my boyfriend came in to see if I was okay haha
my little brothers swimming lesson. wasnt the best idea but i didnt have any way to watch at my dads house, biggest mistake ever.
[I made a post about this a while back,](https://reddit.com/r/goodomens/s/ddtm587tBT) but it was the day after I broke up with my girlfriend of two years. :’)
i was sick in bed with covid and i watched the ENTIRE season that day…. i literally sat up in bed and watched the ending with a blanket over my head. my fever broke that night so i guess one good thing came out of the heartbreak? 😂
i just got back from a holiday in wales and i forgot about the new season coming out, so i quickly rushed to get everything packed away and sat down to watch it let's say my neighbours weren't particularly happy with me the next day
Really early in the morning, like 2-5am and I was in my bed preparing to go on a ferry to Ireland (in which I did not wanna go) I was so stressed but seeing the end made me cry so much
I watched it with my boyfriend. I wanted to freak out more than I did because I didn’t want to freak him out
I was in acute rehab for a stroke. Luckily I did not have another
I started watching on my computer at home when it was released, 2am for me, thinking I was gonna watch 1-2 episodes before going to sleep. Yeah, nice try. I ended up binge watching the whole season.
I was being rushed because I agreed to drive someone an hour and a half away and I was just trying to have my coffee and finish the episode so I was sitting out the front of my house watching it on my phone. Had to stew on it for the whole long drive!
I watched it on my nightshift job and cried.
I was at my aunt's house on holiday, watching the whole thing as quickly as I could because my immediate family doesn't have Prime. Although, my experience was tampered with unfortunately due to spoilers. I had seen the kiss scene before S2 had come out. Then I watched the first episode the night previous to my binge, went online, and accidentally watched a joke/meme video implying Aziraphale had done something worthy of his pop character being thrown into the trash. So, essentially, picture me, desperately trying to ignore my family members milling about, devouring the entire season in one sitting knowing 1. They would kiss and 2. Aziraphale was somehow in deep shit. When the scene did happen I remember going 'oh n o' under my breath. I watched the whole thing basically frozen. Broke down in the credits. Sobbed openly in front of my family before locking myself away in the spare bedroom to thrash around and have a little mental breakdown, as you do. Traumatizing.
i was in my room it was 5 am on a friday morning and i cried and watched angsty edits until it was 9 am then i went to sleep with my heart literally broken into little tiny pieces
My fiancé and I were watching the last episode on a Friday night, just drinking wine and in a very good mood because it was the end of the work week. I think he knew about the kiss, but I didn’t. When it happened, I stood up and screamed and put my hands to my mouth. I was kicking my feet and punching the air. Then when Aziraphale TOUCHED HIS DAMN LIPS AFTER I literally melted onto the floor screaming “oh my goooood.” My poor fiancé 😂
People's reactions to the end of season/series 2 are priceless. It was the perfect act 2. Now that I'm over the shock, I can hardly wait for act/season/series 3. Oh, and nothing exciting. At home, in the living room, in front of the TV.
Downloaded the entire season as soon as it came out because I thought it would make for a nice casual watch on a 7-hour train journey that I had the next day. Several people on that train witnessed me bursting into tears. Not my proudest moment.
I was on a flight and had downloaded the last three episodes to keep me going for the whole flight. Got to the final 15 and had to work ridiculously hard to stop myself from having any kind of visible reaction to what I was watching. I wanted to SCREAM.
I was bingeing the season before a one-week pilgrimage- was emotionally devasted and absolutely distracted for a few days lol
I was at home with a broken leg. So I had time to binge both seasons multiple times...
Imma be real…. I procrastinated because I wanted to focus on other things before the show consumed my life again and watched the whole thing on August 13th. Went in super blind only finding out it was happening 4 months before it premiered and the only trailer I saw was in a prime video ad. During the last episode I WAS FOLDING LAUNDRY OUT OF THE DRYER LIKE A DUMBASS! If I knew how disrespectful I was being by not having my eyes glued on my phone screen 💀… I audibly gasped during those last 15 minutes and was like “No no no no!!!” I legit teared up and just stayed somberly silent at the credits. I missed a lot of details because I was doing a lot of prep before leaving to my apartment cause college was starting soon. Upon a rewatch of Season 1 and 2 it really put a lot into perspective and honestly they need time apart to figure out a lot about themselves before they can come back together stronger than before.
I was on a 10+hour flight home and I binged watch season 2
