Good Omens - Season 1
A dramatic and comedic series about Aziraphale, a tough angel, and Crowley, a demon living fast. In that series, both parties lived between the human beings of the earth from the beginning and both grew fond of the way of life. In the end, it seems that neither of them wants the next war, but someone has put the Antichrist in the wrong place and goes according to divine ability.

Watch it for [Michael] Sheen's prissy bon viveur and [David] Tennant's snake-eyed and snake-hipped devil, who "sauntered vaguely downwards" rather than fell.

A cursory overview of the plot would suggest that the two decide to work together to defend humanity from divine caprice - but the performances make it clear that what each entity is truly fighting for is one another, and the bond they've forged.

Led by a stellar cast and imbued with playful touches, the series is a delightful comedy about the end of the world.

The script is, unsurprisingly, annunciation-grade, luminously funny and strikingly poignant-and considering the principal characters include angels, demons and witches, (and a tween Antichrist) it's as human as they come.

Such archness. Such ostentatious charm and so-called wit. It made me feel like I wanted to suck the sugar from my teeth.

The show is at its best when David Tennant and Michael Sheen are together, coming up with hare-brained schemes to (if not cancel but at least) postpone the end of times.

Good Omens continues to have its special effects moments. But there aren't enough of them to overcome the basic tedium afflicting it.

The six-episode limited series loses momentum as it goes, making the teased possibility of a sequel less and less appealing.

Together, it's like watching two musicians at the top of their game play a duet; they positively sing... The rest of it's not bad -- not world-ending, but not exactly heavenly, either.

There's a lot to take in while watching Good Omens, but Neil Gaiman and director Douglas MacKinnon have done a fine job of making a show that's fun to watch.
