Amazon's Good Omens

[TDale313]

So, binged the series last night/this morning, and really enjoyed it. Fan of the book, so was a bit nervous, but it really worked. The casting is great all the way down the line. They do a good job keeping the best things from the book, but update and streamline things. Overall, I thought it really worked.

Curious what others who’ve seen it think.

1. Only about halfway through

I liked the Douglas Adamsy HHGTTG vibe in the first episode, as they're setting things up, before we get the whole cast of characters introduced. Looking forward to the introduction of Death. In my mind, he's the same guy as in the Discworld books, showing up for a cameo, but I'm sure they'll do him justice here.

3. More! Gimme more... Please tell me there's going

to be a season 2? I loved Michael Sheen and David Tennant together -- rather like the quirkier version of the Odd Couple -- and they are great feeding off each other's characters.

4. I have been very impressed with Amazon produced videos.

Jack Ryan and Britannia are two of my favorites. I'll definitely check out Good Omens. I also got The Death Of Stalin from Amazon Prime and I can't recommended it highly enough. A masterpiece of black humor. Say what you will but Bezos delivers the goods.

5. I binged it in one day

So I must have liked it a lot. Great show. I'll probably watch it again.

6. Pretty fantastic.

Haven't read the book... Francis McDormand was an interesting choice for the Voice of God.
