Personally I'm not pleased about the sequel because I don't like Neil Gaiman's writing style at all, likely enjoyed the book largely due to Pratchett's influence, and most of what I disliked about the original series was Gaiman's original additions which were all in his very annoying style (including twee OOC dropping of Tori Amos lyrics which would be eye rolling if it happened in a fanfic and is even worse when the canon writer does it). If it had been Neil Gaiman's Good Omens I would never have gotten through the book in the first place, so forgive me if I'm annoyed to see him ruin something I love further.

Also the other big reason I'm not enthused, is there literally any case where a single book was turned into multiple seasons of TV that didn't completely fall apart and start to suck once they ran out of canon material? Considering the wreck American Gods turned into I'm not optimistic for GO.

Yeah, I feel like if STP & NG had a good idea for a sequel they would have written that sequel.

I don't hate Gaiman's writing and actually I own a lot of his books, but between him and Pratchett there's no contest, I love almost all Pratchett's work and like some of Gaiman's. Unless GO2 ends up being as big a travesty as the BBC Watch series, I'll probably watch it, but I'm not super excited.

I've ever liked anything by Gaiman, but I love Pratchett, so I'm 100% sure my love of GO the book is because of the latter. That Pratchett wasn't around to influence the TV-show but Gaiman was without anyone reining him in, really shows.
