Is anyone even going to watch it? I guess fans of the actors maybe, but I doubt I'm alone in being a former fan of Gaiman's who's lost all interest in his work since his rapist behaviour came to light.

Just enjoy the Terry Pratchett half
It's not like this is his work anyway, is it?
He wrote the tv adaptation and the 2nd (and 3rd?) season/s are his work as pTerry is dead.
And even if a new writer was brought on to make 3, it's still an intellectual property that's irrevocably linked to Gaiman now.
I guess I don't feel like they are that associated. The tv series is much better than the book ever was, at least from my pov.
And here I mean the gay angel and demon of course, along with gabriel. Some of the worst aspects of the show are lifted wholesale from the books like the bizarre fantasy relationship between the sexiest witch alive and the failure. Pratchett's influence probably stopped the book from being worse than it was.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the book was wrapped up in S01 wasn't it? I'm trying to remember if I saw S02 and if it was essentially new material?

It was.
Gaiman and Pratchett had started planning a sequel, but it never advanced past the early stages. Gaiman decided they couldn't jump straight into the sequel concept in season 2 so that season is new material that bridges the gap.
Yes, only S1 was from the book. S2 and the finale/S3 is new material but Neil Gaiman said it was something he and Pratchett had planned/talked about. S3 was in development when Gaiman's allegations came out so instead of a full season to wrap it up they made it just 1 longer episode, which I think is unfortunate as I've loved the series.
