Good Omens! Saunter vaguely this way...

[Osquito]

Anyone else watching this on BBC2? I am, like many on MN, a big Pratchett (and Gaiman) fan so I have accepted this will not be as brilliant as the books but am ready to enjoy it.

It's very good. I watched it on prime and its throughly enjoyable

It’s excellent, great cast , love Michael Sheen and David Tennent, Jack Whitehall is also very good in this.

Damn got excited that there was another series for a minute!

I watched it on Prime as well. I was a bit nervous and didn't see how it could live up to the book, but I absolutely loved it.

@Dazedandconfused10 @CoolCarrie That’s great to hear - I usually enjoy Michael Sheen’s work, though originally I had hoped he would play Aziraphale.

Question - do I need to have read the book to "get it"?

I haven't read the book and I loved it!

No book reading required. I've never read it and thought if was great.

Ooh these opening credits are very Mirrormask.

No book reading required. But as nearly always, it's better.

Ah, that was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed it, can’t wait for the next episode.

I think it’s great - watched it on prime last year, loved it and have watched the whole series several times over.

I'm enjoying it. But God's voice is wrong, the inflections are in the wrong place.

Sorry but I thought it was a load of nonsense. But Tennant's in it so I'll give it another bash next week. Might be a slow burner. Like Pratchetts books so giving the benefit of the doubt.

I thought it was terrific. Only complaint was the credits were too bloody long! Completely loved Sheen /Tennant’s relationship.

I loved this! Also listened to the audiobook on audible. I tried to get DS (11) to read it but the religion stuff went over his head and he didn't get it. Maybe in a couple of years!

Thanks for the replies, I have prime so may give it a go on there

Most of it was wrong, but in the right way if that makes sense.

I really enjoyed it, but found DT's eyes very disturbing!

No, I'm waiting till dp gets round to watching it first and let's me know whether it will ruin one of my all time favourite books.

We watched the hogfather years ago, and as far as adaptations go for a family film it was good. But good omens is so full of outdated/ obscure references I think they might struggle to really adapt it to my standards! So dp has to be the test run. It's in his interest or he'll have to listen to me ranting.

I watched it on prime loved it so much im watching it again itis a delight I think I actually love Martin sheen

God sake Michael

You're in for a shock OP, unlike all the wretched previous adaptations of TP's work, this is very good indeed.

It’s great fun. I’ve watched it twice on Prime and now recording it to binge on a big screen

DP and I are using the wonderful opening credits theme for our entrance music at our civil partnership

I've watched it twice on prime also, great adaptation! Also love both Tennant and Sheen.
I do agree about the voice of god though (Frances Mcdormand?), it is slightly off, but I'm nitpicking...
