The Crowded Room
The Crowded Room Season 1 has been a wild ride full of ups and downs as we dived into the mind of Danny Sullivan. It was easy to forget that Danny stood accused of multiple counts of attempted murder.

Danny’s fate is revealed, and so is that of Candy, Rya, and Marlin.
Good Omens (Prime)
When last we left Crowley and Aziraphale, our favorite immortal duo had severed ties with their respective higher-ups (and lower-downs).
Comfortably settled into his bookshop, Aziraphale would much rather concern himself with the potential romance brewing between the coffee shop proprietor and record store renter in his business association than the drama of heavenly politics.
Unfortunately, a naked, confused, yet familiar visitor disrupts all his established routines and requires him and Crowley to reunite and combine their abilities to solve a mystery, certify a love story, and save the world yet again.

But we’re mostly determined to see the outcome after that shocking cliffhanger and Julia’s diabolical maneuver with the beach house.
