I had no idea Gaiman was the showrunner on this. Even putting aside how he financially benefits from this show, letting him remain in a position of power is horrible. He's the scum of the earth. Just cancel the show.

Especially because the women coming forward reveal he has a pattern of going after employees and fans.

[varioussaints]

A pattern of going after employees and fans and specifically using his connections to other famous people (through adaptations of his work) as part of his modus operandi. For example, he tried to use his connection to David Tennant (through Good Omens) to coerce K (the second identified victim; she appears on Tortoise podcast episode 4) into sending him topless photos of herself.

[chocobodork]

The David Tenant thing is so fucked up, and doubly so when Gaiman used a comment K made about Tenant as evidence of K's sexual interest in Gaiman himself. Absolute slimeball.

Sometimes the news makes me feel like I shouldn't risk liking anything at all. :/

All these shows were bad so good riddance. Also, hope NG is successfully drummed out of the industry.

i was raised on pratchett books, and honestly, good omens is barely a blip to me. i feel sorry to everyone who loved the book and show, but i never warmed to gaiman. (if anything, i feel apprehensive if pratchett might have known of sth. if there's one author in whose goodness i've believed, it's him. but, you know. everything is awful and no one can be trusted.)

i feel bad for pratchett fans, but its the right call to cancel all of these

I'm a big fan of Pratchett and I'm just glad we got a great first season. I didn't feel his influence at all in season 2, so I'm kinda glad if this puts the series to bed.

The plot of season two was genuinely terrible - like I was shocked how bad/boring it was. The whole thing felt like it was filmed on a single soundstage for three days. You could really tell this was like a placeholder season to get to season three.

I was so annoyed when NG was like "Oh yeah, Terry and I had this idea for a continuation and when we get another season I can tell that story!" and then when S2 rolled around it's "Oh yeah, you see, S2 is only the preparation for the story Terry and I wanted to tell. When we get another season only then I can tell that story!" JFC man
