stating this without comment on my personal opinion of the finale: it felt like there was an internal conflict that the story struggled to resolve as to what its actual purpose as a story was. season 1 was a largely faithful adaptation of the good omens novels wherein a/c are not the protagonists and the theme is "humanity is the point and the rest is bullshit", season 2 was a love letter to aziraphale and crowley that took the world of heaven/hell incredibly seriously. they were really, really different stories, so what does s3 become then?
the sense I got was that it wanted to thematically return to season 1 but at a plot level it was still living in season 2. which, yeah—obviously it's going to pick up where s2 left off on a literal level, and obviously it's also going to return to the core themes of the good omens story. so, no human characters left in a story about humanity and a heavy, complex conflict between two eternal beings to deal with in the meantime
Not commenting on the quality of the choice to end it how they ended it, to be clear, just putting forth some thoughts on how we even ended up here
