Adaptations can be hit or miss. So I'm delighted to say this is a home run. Good Omens the TV show has kept incredibly true to the book, and the, frankly fantastic, acting of Michael Sheen and David Tennant keep the viewer wonderfully entertained. The story of Armageddon has never been so much rollicking good fun. John Hamm, best known for Mad Men, plays socially handicapped Gabriel, and Jack Whitehall embodies Newton Pulsifer as though it was written for him.

Readers will admire the way the writing remains true to our beloved favorite, and first time viewers will enjoy the romp through the End of Days.

I have so far watched the first three episodes. It is perfect. Felt like I was re-reading the book for the 7th time. So far 98% of the book has been adapted into the filmed series. And the new scenes & characters, such as Gabriel, created for this series are perfectly merged into the original story and besides bringing it to present time, add more to the story of Crowley and Aziraphale. I am beyond pleased. Special effects are great. Cinematography is perfect. Great actors. It is a beautiful piece of art. Thank you Neil Gaiman. You definitely put your heart into this work. Your friend and co-creator of Good Omens has been truly honored by your work on creating this faithful adaptation of the book, Good Omens.

Thirty minutes in, and I was praying for the apocalypse to take me out of my misery, and cleanse the planet of absolutely horrendous programming

Getting a very "Hitchhikers Guide" vibe!

Neil Gaiman and the Good Omens cast, crew, and production team have accomplished something never yet fully managed with a Terry Pratchett-related creation: IMO it is "as" good as the original, and if it's a bit weaker in some ways (I think that the Witchfinder Sergeant/Madame Tracy/Newt Pulsifer/Anathema strand was weaker than I'd have preferred--it might have been worth one more episode in the series to flesh those four out a bit more), it was actually stronger in others. Some things were lost in the trimming that I considered well-edited-out. Further, Crowley and Aziraphale were enriched, with both added material and the exquisite acting of Tennant and Sheen. Gaiman also chose to commit further to the *affection* between angel and demon. Some will interpret it as a romance. I found myself seeing it as Gaiman expressing his love for Pratchett, and the depth of their own friendship over the years. However you choose to spin it, it's more clearly tender, and fierce, and one comes away with a stronger sense of people choosing sides--not heaven or hell, but decency and love.

I know I will want to watch this again--the material will stand multiple viewings, and will continue to offer plenty to think about during and after watching.

I have gone to sleep with this audio book in my ear for last seven years. WELL DONE!

Love the humor and wit... Only 1 episode in and it has me sucked in. The only drawback is that there are only 6 episodes to binge.

Neither as funny nor as clever as it should be.
