Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens is a book that I’ve revisited many times over the years. Each time that I do, it feels like I’m spending time with an old friend: nothing much has changed since the last time that we saw each other, but I enjoy the book’s presence in my life, nonetheless.
The first trailer for Amazon’s Good Omens doesn’t give me those feels. That’s not a bad thing. The mini-series, staring Michael Sheen and David Tennant as Aziraphale and Crowley, feels vital and expansive compared to the cozy confines of the novel I’ve enjoyed so often over the past few decades. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the production interprets the work.
And hey, if it sucks, I still have the wonderful written iteration to fall back on.
