- TriviaWhen Aziraphale and Crowley are in Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death, the background music is a classical, instrumental version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
- GoofsThe Solar system swinging by the pair in the middle of the intro dialogue is not to scale. (Otherwise it could not fit on any screen or would be too small to see.)
- Quotes
Crowley: [referring to Gabriel] He is not our friend!
Aziraphale: I don't think he really has any friends.
Crowley: Exactly.
Aziraphale: Yes, exactly.

Featured review
Well, I'll be damned.
To continue on from a quirky, beloved classic, borne faithfully from equally beloved source material - with adoring & passionate fans - without aforementioned source material to rely on was always an extremely risky gamble to take for the creators of "Good Omens", even if co-author of the original & executive producer, Neil Gaiman was at the helm of the writing for S2 (sadly devoid of his co-conspirator, responsible for the whimsical inception of such a preposterously ingenious concept only these two combined minds could dream of, Terry Pratchett), but to the credit of everyone involved in 2023's season, from the initial opening episode, this garishly audacious leap of faith (made with no book to fall back on) ironically does seem to have very refreshingly paid off. Alas, we can all seemingly breathe a collective sigh of relief; rather than faltering in an attempt to construct a sequel (which could've - I dread to think - theoretically just dragged the story out with no sense of purpose, other than for the mere sake of it, to make money & cynically capitalise off of the brand), Chapter 1 at least presents an equally tantalising & amusingly clever concept for viewers to hopefully explore, building upon the events of the past in order to enhance the development of a plausible future. Ergo, although it may be too early to say for sure, against all odds, they may have managed to perform another miracle.
