Ok, the first season has a really intersting premise.
God (Buscemi) decides to end the world after the dawning reality, its not going too well on Earth.
Down in the "answered prayers" department in heaven, Radcliffe's character sits, and answers little prayers, mostly lost keys, lost gloves, things like that.
An employee who was working in another department makes an arugment to be promoted, to which her boss agrees, and she joins Radcliffe's character answering prayers, until they all learn of God deciding to end the world.
She decides to make a bet with him, to answer one "impossible" class prayer that only god handles (but has given up, just like he's given up with Earth) to make two people who are unlucky in love, kiss within 2 weeks. God sets the bet, and on a timing device that once expired, Earth goes boom.
So the episodes run along really nicely to work for these two unlucky citizens of Earth to fall for each other with subtle/not so subtle hints from heaven trying to steer each other into each other.
It's a really nice comedy, that isn't too technical, too religious, or particularly hard to digest. It'd make for really nice dinner TV. Nothing to laugh too hard at to choke on, and nothing X-rated if the kids over hear. The jokes are clever and subtle though, and require some attention not to miss them, as they're not shouted at you like an American comedy sometimes only insists on. It's not a futuristic sci-fi, nor is it old fashioned, it really just set in todays time with a little bit of comedy fantasy added in. It's fantastic series, 9/10 worthy.
The second season?! Meeeeeeeh, I'm just so bored of it. The premise is completely new, only the actors are the same, and everyone has become new characters. It really has no relation to the first season in anyway, and I don't know why it goes under the same title. The season has a lot less story to it, and it really feels quite plodding and like its going nowhere. Because of its diverse cast (fine for the heavens) it looks really woke in the medievil times, as all these people of colour exist in a land where continental travel didn't really exist just to settle anywhere. The second season really throws a lot of talent and acting skill onto the scene of pantomime, and it just feels stale. The jokes can't be as sharp and edgy, so they're really too soft to remember.
