10 Spoiler-Free Things About Good Omens, Post #16

[usedtobeljs]

So yes, I binged Good Omens (over two days), and yes, I have started my rewatch. Here are 10 Spoiler-Free Reactions about the programme, from me.

1) David Tennant as Crowley embodies the concept of LOUCHE, and I AM HERE FOR IT.
2) His Crowley-walk, OMG.
3) I loved the character and the performance. Also, a ginger DT works like anything.
4) Loved Michael Sheen's Aziraphale just as much. Precious cinnamon roll! Cuddly Winnie-the-Pooh in angel form!!
5) What a love-letter to London. Am ready to do a Good Omens walking tour of St James and Soho in December.
6) When Mark Gatiss showed up doing his funny-accent homage in that one scene, I FELL OUT. Also, I still love Gatiss, not even going to lie about it.
7) Really liked Josie Lawrence as Agnes Nutter. (She's not in it much, but she's awesome.) Same for Nina Sosanya as Sister Mary Loquacious.
8) Also really liked the whole crew of angels (Jon Hamm, heee) and demons, but I super-enjoyed Anna Maxwell Martin as Beelzebub and Ariyon Bakare as Ligon.
9) Re Aziraphale/Crowley: I ship it.
10) I MEAN, I SHIP IT.

If you like this sort of thing, you'll love the show.

I am *so* looking forward to this. As it is a BBC co-production they will show it but not until the autumn I don't think, which is frustrating, but at least I don't need to avoid spoilers as I've read the book! Glad to hear you loved it so much as that makes me even more excited.

It's a freaking delight, K, and it feels like the book (although there are a couple of interesting plot-changes late).

All hugs! Happy June!

I'm glad it has the Lori seal of approval - I'm looking forward to seeing it at some point.

I hope it's available for you soon. [hugs]

Happy week ahead, A!

I’m hoping we can eventually access an internet connection that’s hgh-speed enough to actually watch this...looks like Amazon Prime is too snooty to do DVD versions of their product, assuming the entire US audience has Seattle/Palo Alto level bandwidth. Grump.

ETA: but it sounds lovely and I do thank you for your reactions, sour old grouch though I am.

Ugh, I am sorry that streaming is tricky. :( I would guess a DVD will be available once the show goes to the BBC?

Anyway, many hugs.

I've seen the first episode, but will watch more tonight!

[usedtobeljs]

The first two episodes are lovely. The third episode is where Neil Gaiman really starts to break the rules. :)

Hugs hugs, Gwynne!

I think I saw something about this on Amazon Prime. Maybe I'll give it a watch, for the scenery if nothing else :)

[usedtobeljs]

It's really delightful. :)

Cheers and happy Tuesday, T!
