Good Omens

Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, Good Omens is a hilarious yet oddly touching tale about an angel and a demon who team up to prevent the end of the world. It's like The Odd Couple meets The Book of Revelation. Michael Sheen and David Tennant absolutely steal the show as Aziraphale, the uptight angel with a penchant for rare books, and Crowley, the devilishly charming demon who's not so keen on fulfilling his demonic duties. Their chemistry is off the charts, bouncing off each other like a comedic ping-pong match.

Good Omens is ultimately a story about friendship, loyalty, and the power of redemption. It's about finding common ground in the most unlikely of places and learning to embrace your inner demons, quite literally. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, and the plot might require a few leaps of faith (pun intended). But if you're in the mood for a wickedly funny, devilishly clever romp through the end times, Good Omens is the binge-worthy series you never knew you needed.

This is comedy at its best: intelligent sense of humour, engaging plot, crispy dialogues and decent acting.

I have to thank the 20,000 petitioners that tried to have this show banned. Otherwise I might have missed it.

So good, that it amazes me to find any negative comments or reviews at all. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea (what is?), to think some actually found something negative to critique or give a bad rating to, is baffling.

The acting is top-notch, the story is fantastic, the writing superb, the delivery mostly quirky and fun, so in a time where other television series run together and merge and meld in their unoriginality, to give this fun, very intelligently done series anything less than a nine, would be a sin.

So, I've read Good Omens at least 10 times over my lifetime, and I can honestly say that this mini series does the book justice. The casting is just amazing, David Tennant and Michael Sheen are both brilliant, Adria Arjona was inspired casting for Anathema Device. Sergeant Shadwell was just as I imagined him. Really loved every minute of it, I was only sad that it ended.

It really does capture the spirit of the book. it's not often that an adaptation is this faithful to the source material, but this was really spot on.

Honestly I could watch Crowley and Aziraphale for another hundred hours. Just some fantastic moments between the two of them.

Absurd in all the best ways Tenant and Sheen bounce off each other magically. Can't wait to hopefully see more adventures with the duo and hoping once this adventure over for many a prequel across the centuries.
