A comedic and dramatic series that speaks of the armies of good and evil together who are crowded together in one place. It's Aziraphale, a tough angel and Crowley, a demon living among the mortals of the earth from the beginning. As time passed, the angel and the devil grew fond of life style, where they were not all really looking forward to the next war as everything went according to divine ability.
There's a lot to take in while watching Good Omens, but Neil Gaiman and director Douglas MacKinnon have done a fine job of making a show that's fun to watch.
The show is at its best when David Tennant and Michael Sheen are together, coming up with hare-brained schemes to (if not cancel but at least) postpone the end of times.
Watch it for [Michael] Sheen's prissy bon viveur and [David] Tennant's snake-eyed and snake-hipped devil, who "sauntered vaguely downwards" rather than fell.
A cursory overview of the plot would suggest that the two decide to work together to defend humanity from divine caprice - but the performances make it clear that what each entity is truly fighting for is one another, and the bond they've forged.
The script is, unsurprisingly, annunciation-grade, luminously funny and strikingly poignant-and considering the principal characters include angels, demons and witches, (and a tween Antichrist) it's as human as they come.
Together, it's like watching two musicians at the top of their game play a duet; they positively sing... The rest of it's not bad -- not world-ending, but not exactly heavenly, either.
