It seems the apocalypse has been averted. But how? The final episode of this Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett collaboration answers that question in discursive and inventive style. After a standoff between angels and demons there are neat reappearances from Jon Hamm and Anna Maxwell Martin.
Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 19th February 2020Armageddon at last approaches in Neil Gaiman's handsome, but somehow inert, fantasy comedy: tornadoes are blowing, God is speaking and Jack Whitehall's accidental witchfinder responds to the looming end of the world in the way all virgins should. Plus, the antichrist finally reveals himself.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 5th February 2020Good Omens review
Despite some hammy special effects and occasional overwriting, Neil Gaiman's epic six-parter zings with wit, wisdom and heaven-sent casting.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 5th February 2020More backstory for Michael Sheen's prissy angel, Aziraphale, and David Tennant's louche demon, Crowley, as this adaptation of the Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel continues. From Noah's ark to the crucifixion, the pair have plenty of shared history. This series has proved as inventive as its provenance suggests.
Phil Harrison, The Guardian, 29th January 2020Comedy.co.uk Awards 2019 winners revealed
The results of the 14th annual Comedy.co.uk Awards have been revealed. Good Omens, After Life, Susan Calman and Would I Lie To You? are amongst the winners.
British Comedy Guide, 27th January 2020It is episode two of Neil Gaiman's fantasy series, based on his book with Terry Pratchett, and England's long history of witchcraft starts to play its part in the looming apocalypse. If you can stomach how arch and mannered it all is, the sparkling, high-budget visuals offer a blizzard of clever ideas.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 22nd January 2020Good Omens review
The story is based on a novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, so it's bursting with daft jokes. Silliest of the lot is the convent for devil-worshipping nuns, the Sisters of the Chattering Order of St Beryl.
Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 16th January 2020Good Omens review
Would Terry Pratchett have been happy with the result? I imagine he would certainly have laughed. And that would be entirely down to Michael Sheen as the blond, fluffy-haired angel Aziraphale and David Tennant as the snake-eyed devil's demon Crowley, hiding his terrifying irises with sunglasses.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 16th January 2020Good Omens magics up 1m viewers
BBC2's fantasy drama, which has been available on co-producer Amazon's platform for almost a year, suffers as older viewers tune out.
Max Goldbart, Broadcast, 16th January 2020Good Omens review
The script is full of irreverence, wit and charm, largely centred around Aziraphale and Crowley's chemistry.
