Interesting pedigree and it looks like Tennant eats the scenery as per usual

Big fan of the book. Hope they capture the tone/spirit. The cast seems well suited for it.

I'll always wonder what a Terry Gilliam-Robin Williams-Johnny Depp movie would have been like, but I honestly think a series is the right approach.

Finally! Been waiting years for this. Apparently Terry Pratchett sent a posthumous letter to Gaiman telling him to get it made. There’d been numerous false starts over the years as both would worry about the quality for one reason or another.

Although I hadn’t heard of him when I first read it, I couldn't picture anyone other than Tennent to play Crowley. Sheen will be great as Aziraphale.

Hah. I hope that their PR department had fun answering that petition:

"Thank you for expressing your concerns to us. After much deliberation, we've agreed to not stream Good Omens on Netflix".

Absolutely hilarious.

About the series... I thought they did a fantastic job with the set up and not so great with the payoff.

 

[Puck]

Bizarre. But perhaps Netflix is happy, everyone thinks they’re THE company for tv series. (more positives than negatives)

I thought episode 1 started slow, I was a tad disappointed at first, but it picked up. I had been waiting for this for 6 months, maybe expectations were too high. But it gets better. Liked it a lot. Looks like a sequel is coming. Hope so.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I really enjoyed it. Probably one of the most fun binges in a while.

Prime has cancelled the series

depending on the source--sounds like one or two people may have cancelled their amazon account due to the show

I think it got cancelled cause the key people involved moved onto other things

I wonder how much appetite Gaiman really had to continue a finished story.

 

[Prairie Habs]

I really enjoyed it but I don't need a season 2, it was a complete story. If it was cancelled due to pearl clutching from a bunch of people who probably didn't even watch it (they didn't even know what platform it was on) then that's disappointing though.

 

[Legionnaire]

I agree that a season 2 is not needed but they certainly have gone into far more detail in the first. As I watched there just seemed to be things should have been included and clarified but weren't.

Two years later and well... Amazon must want to annoy a certain group of people more
