    Kind of good news, at the same time they completely changed the premise of the show and have basically been flogging a dead horse. Radcliffe in sequin assless chaps definitely made up for it though!

        You’re absolutely right, Good Omens has a similar Christian premise but is going far stronger. I was thinking the other show had already milked a 3rd season!

          Huh?

          The first season was literally about heaven…

          But each season is different.

          The sequin assless chaps are season 2 when it’s a western, and season 3 is Mad Max where Harry Potter gets down to his whitey tighties and goes feral

              Somehow I also basically forgot about season 2 and only remembered 3 and 4.

              All of them are completely different from season 1, though, and I don’t think seasons 2-4 were originally planned to be that way.

            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.

        Season one is based on the book, season two is still co-written by Neil Gaiman and is apparently based on an idea that he and Terry Pratchett talked about for a sequel, and I have no idea about season three lol.

        Season one is based on the book. Season three is based on the sequel Pratchett and Gaiman had planned together, but never fully written or published. Season two is a bridge to fill some gaps written by Gaiman alone.
