Good Omens Season 3: Crowley & Aziraphale’s Kiss Controversy, Explained

by

The third season of the show has ended with a feature-length finale simply called “The Finale.” It reunited the angel Aziraphale and the former demon Crowley as they searched for the newly revived Jesus, hoping for a positive outcome for everyone. Similar to many series endings, the finale is sparking debate among fans, and one decision in particular is proving especially confusing.

The connection between Crowley and Aziraphale has always been central to Good Omens, and viewers have loved watching their friendship develop into a romance. They shared a kiss in the Season 2 finale, but despite getting back together in Season 3, they didn’t kiss again. The show’s creators have tried to explain this choice, but many fans were disappointed that the final kiss they were hoping for was replaced with something they didn’t enjoy as much.

Good Omens 3’s Director Explains the Controversial Ending

Rachel Talalay, who directed and executive produced season 3 of Good Omens, explained their decision to TV Insider. The team felt that after building up to a potential kiss for so long, actually showing one wouldn’t be satisfying – or might even feel underwhelming. Instead, they created a post-credits scene where Aziraphale and Crowley ask God for a new universe without divine influence, giving humanity true free will. In this new reality, they are reborn as humans and are finally able to be together.

Talalay acknowledged that some fans might be unhappy with the ending, but she explained they believed the message – that love lasts forever – was more meaningful than just a simple kiss. While some viewers appreciate this sentiment, many are happy that Crowley and Aziraphale find a way to be together, even if it’s not the romantic ending they expected.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about the ending of Good Omens, and fans have pointed out a really sweet detail! There’s this moment where Aziraphale kisses his fingertips and then gently touches Crowley’s lips with them. It’s a subtle gesture, but it feels incredibly intimate. It’s interesting because that kind of touch actually has meaning in some Christian traditions, which feels perfect for a show about an angel and a demon. Plus, it reminded me of when Aziraphale touched his lips after their first kiss – like a little echo of that moment.

While the heartfelt gesture and ending were lovely, the creators didn’t have to choose between it and a simple kiss. They could have easily included both. It doesn’t really make sense that they thought another hug between Crowley and Aziraphale would feel repetitive or wouldn’t measure up to the first one, especially given how meaningful it was.

Aziraphale and Crowley’s First On-Screen Kiss Isn’t the Only One Fans Wanted

While some TV couples only need one kiss, fans are still hoping for more between Aziraphale and Crowley. Their first kiss in Season 2 was a big moment, filled with emotion because they were arguing about Aziraphale potentially returning to Heaven and Crowley’s unwillingness to join him. But the disappointment set in when viewers realized that kiss would be their only one.

Honestly, as a movie fan, I was really hoping for just one more kiss between those two after they finally patched things up – and I don’t think that’s asking too much! I know kissing isn’t the only way to show romance, but in movies, it’s often super important. A really sweet, satisfying kiss at the end of a love story just seals the deal, you know? It tells you everything’s going to be okay and that their love will last, even after the movie ends.

Allowing Crowley and Aziraphale to share a truly romantic kiss before the end could have beautifully completed the story arc started with their first kiss – unlike in Season 2, they were finally ready for it. It would have solidified their reconnection and offered a more satisfying conclusion. Instead, the ending left many viewers feeling unfulfilled.

The show’s creators also could have had the human characters, Anthony and Asa, kiss. Considering they eventually get married and move to the South Downs, it would have been a natural moment. Unfortunately, they don’t share an on-screen kiss, which feels like another chance missed.

Okay, so Aziraphale and Crowley spent ages figuring out their feelings for each other, and while that first kiss was amazing, it was also… complicated. Honestly, they’d been through so much, they deserved a proper moment, a really loving embrace that actually showed how much they cared for each other, not all the fighting and worry.

While the ending of Good Omens season 3 was nice, it shouldn’t have replaced the kiss that fans really wanted to see.
