Anyway, this mainly follows the same characters as in the previous entry but also introduces a few new 'real life' characters into the mix (portrayed by Danny DeVito and Danny Glover), with those characters then also getting sucked into the game.
As before, most of the comedy comes from watching the in-game characters (still portrayed by Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson) doing imitations of their 'real life' counterparts, with Jack Black again stealing the show with his imitations!

The answer, it turns out, is that Gaiman and Pratchett had ideas for a sequel, which nothing ever came off.
Gaiman is one of the showrunners here (as he was in season 1).
This, even more than that earlier season, concentrates on the pairing of the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley, with lots of flashes of the two of them throughout the years since the Creation, and here trying to uncover just why the Archangel Gabriel has arrived at Aziraphale's bookshop with absolutely no memory at all.

Surreal, maybe.
Sequel to 2010s 'Alice in Wonderland' which, truth be told, I don't really remember all that much about other than it included the Jabberwock, and that it took liberties with source material.
As I'm not all that familiar with the source material here (Alice through the Looking Glass), I can't really comment on that aspect here (although I have heard that it only has the name in common).
Still heavily relies on the visual aspect, with Johnny Depp again doing his weird and wacky sthick, and with Helena Bonham Carter also returning as the Queen of Hearts alongside the likes of Anne Hathaway, the late (great) Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen being introduced as Time.

It's not all bad - Kari Wuhwer is a likable enough protagonist, and the closing 5 minutes are gloriously Hellraiser-esque, but it's ultimately another sequel that feels like a completely different project with Pinhead thrown in at the last minute to sell more copies. Still more enjoyable that Hellseeker though. It's the little victories.
