NAYRT but curious as to the parts you disliked?

Heh, I’ve already bitched about some of my gripes here. I disliked that there was a narrator—not that she was God, or American, or the actress, just having one in general. I would’ve liked it better if the narration was confined to the episode intros or something instead of random interjections. People have said it was very Hitchhiker’s Guide-esque, and I kind of hated Hitchhiker’s Guide (don’t kill me) and Pratchett’s earliest couple, Hitchhiker-like books like Strata.

I’m torn on actually seeing heaven and hell and so many angels and demons. Much as I love Aziraphale and Crowley, I felt like the rest of the show suffered by comparison to having so much focus on their storyline to the point of introducing their respective bosses/coworkers. I would’ve traded a couple minutes of Gabriel and Beelzebub for more scenes with the Them, or the scenes with the televangelist and/or the janitor, or more with fast-fake-food Elvis.

I hated Adam’s “say what you believe” and the Them’s responses. It felt hokey as fuck.

I hated that Satan showed up and was such a badly done cgi devil. I loved that book Adam was so powerful he wished him away before he actually appeared, but if Satan had to show up, I wish he’d been more human-ish looking and made more of a point to be, well, tempting and seductive, encouraging Adam to fix the world, and not just yelled at him about disobedience until Adam “you’re not my real dad”ed him out of existence.

I actually liked the narration (but I also like HHGTTG so that may be why, lol), but I can agree with most of your other gripes. They didn't ruin the experience for me but there are definitely parts (like not spending as much time with the Them, or the final showdown which honestly was a little bit like a sad deflated balloon to me?) that I felt could have been done better. :)
