Good Omens TV-Show Review 2019 Cast Crew
Creators: Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett
Stars: Michael Sheen, David Tennant, Frances McDormand
Before delving too deeply into the charming and intoxicating world of the new Amazon series, Good Omens, first this: Suzanne M. Smith. She chose this beauty, and David Tennant and Michael Sheen are a fantastically fun dynamic duo, joining Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer of Killing Eve as the most magnetic pair of tracks on television at the moment. But Good Omens also has a wonderfully deep cast and, beyond those that are mentioned soon enough, you will find a series of incredible cameos of actors (which are not spoiled here, since that is part of the fun of the series) that They seemed to be enjoying themselves greatly when doing this limited series (although a second season is not off the table).
Based on the book Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, from the esteemed writers Terry Pratchett (Discworld) and Neil Gaiman (American Gods, The Ocean at the End at the Lane), both of which are legends . The fantasy world (and Gaiman beyond), Good Omens was a love work that finally occurred, Gaiman said, because one of the last things Pratchett told him before his death in 2015 was to make sure that a filmed version was make it happen
Finally, with great joy of world fantasy, Gaiman wrote the six episodes and guided the complex (and fun) story to an end that works as a complete conclusion if he did not want to write a second season (Gaiman has a lot of projects) and as a pause before of a second logical season. The series was directed in its entirety by Douglas Mackinnon (Sherlock, Doctor Who, Line of Duty), giving it a visual touch and, when the elements of fantasy demand it, also the visual humor. The final result is a play to feel good and a creative triumph that is easily digestible and that is never done with the pursuit of entertainment.
Affecting (and discrediting) the biblical themes, Good Omens is primarily the story of Aziraphale (Sheen) and Crowley (Tennant), two angels we know for the first time guarding the Garden of Eden. In creative flashes both forward and backward, we quickly discover that Crowley (formerly Crawly when he was a snake) quickly became a fallen angel and is now a demon. He is serving Satan, while Azirafel is serving God, and both are ambassadors on Earth, which, as you know, is a mere testing ground for humans and the prequel to the ultimate war between heaven and hell , good and evil.
While that grand plan, "ineffable," somehow, as Aziraphale points out, is slipping through the centuries to its beginning, with the birth of the antichrist and the end of the world, Aziraphale and Crowley realize that it matters what they do.
"So, we're both working really hard in wet places and we're just canceling each other out," says Crowley, after years of essentially sitting on the shoulders of humans, either leading them to bad things or avoiding that temptation. "It would be easier if we stayed at home."
And so, the two end up becoming, at first, accomplices of a plan to cover the other and facilitate their long life. And then they become friends. And then they become the best of all friends. And it is not an exaggeration to imagine it, after having seen the six episodes of Good Omens, this could be one of the most convincing and lovingly told homosexual love stories in the history of television.
But in the meantime, that friendship is fun, since Sheen's Aziraphale has become a sort of legendary gourmand (he once almost fell to the guillotine when he left England for a good meal in France) and Tennant's Crowley is a glamorous rock star. -Black, drive fast cars and find creative ways, although not very painful, to torture human beings (such as the M25, the London Orbital Highway, which is a traffic nightmare, or periodically block the reception of cell phones throughout England , etc.). In hell, Satan's minions are mostly a lot, with bare skin, hordes of flies around him or frogs and other animals on their heads, with monotonous and stinky clothes, while Crowley is elegant and arrogant. It turns out that both the angel and the devil love the Earth and the people who are creating things in it. And that's why they want to protect it from the coming end.
