@neilhimself@ColleenDoran I note that you are using PledgeBox for fulfillment of the #GoodOmens project. Given that this is your first time using PledgeBox I hope that you are doing your due diligence to make sure that they don't do anything stupid, like giving customers a 30-minute window to download stuff, because -- DANG! -- that would sure be annoying. #WordToTheWise#Comics
I missed a lot of stuff from the book in Season 1, and S2 was clearly too late to bring all of that back. I loved S1 and still enjoyed S2, but I think it would have been even better if they'd made S1 longer. There was much more that could have been told there.
S2 was definitely more like Dr Who than the apocalyptic stakes of S1, but I guess you can do that only once.
I know I'm late to the party, they always did say I was a late bloomer and all, but Good Omens is really really good. I always did like Neil Gaiman's writing but it's another thing to binge watch season 1 of #GoodOmens. I mean the binge part was easy as I could not stop and now, here, after the finale I really have to see how a season 2 can be a thing right?
Mainly tip on the hat good sir, fantastic story. @neilhimself 👏👏🎩
(I know now I'm the one putting #hashtags in line, I'm a monster)
@neilhimself@s1m0n4@JustBrogrammer Hey Neil, any thoughts about Amazon Prime Video doing a bait-and-switch, by announcing that even customers that have already paid annually for their service will find what they watch - such as Good Omens and Good Omens 2 - interspersed with ads?!
Did Amazon give you a heads up on their plans to insert advertising in the middle of your stories as soon as early next year?!
The main theme from @neilhimself's #GoodOmens, composed by David Arnold, was one of the delights performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Huddersfield Choral Society at the #BBCProms this year. The concert was conducted by Anna-Maria Helsing.
I have been massively enjoying this rerun of the radio series on @BBCRadio4 of the much missed #TerryPratchett + @neilhimself 's genius book #GoodOmens.
It's been wonderful to introduce a whole new generation to both Pratchett and Gaiman's work.
A big recommend if you haven't read/heard it.
(Have not seen TV series so can't compare to that)

FWIW, the #BBC adaptation of Good Omens is probably my favourite. I have read the book & seen the TV version, but the radio adaptation wins for painting mind pictures & humour. If you are a fan of #TerryPratchett and haven't heard it, do listen. https://bbc.in/3qgSXt7
📖 According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, the world will end on a Saturday. A Saturday quite soon, in fact.
The whole of our six-part adapation of @neilhimself and Terry Pratchett's wonderful 1990 fantasy Good Omens is on BBC Sounds now - and you can listen from anywhere in the world. Tell your friends, good or evil.
Don't forget to stream Good Omens (Seasons 1 and 2), give them good ratings, keep sharing it across social media and support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to help make Season 3 happen! The writers and actors deserve a livable income and reasonable work hours/conditions, as well as the opportunity to make the high-quality art they want to share with the world 💚
If you listened to the recent Good Omens serial, adaptated and sound-designed by Dirk Maggs from the book by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, then you'll likely enjoy this discussion between old friends and collaborators, Dirk and Neil on the topic. It took place right before the recording.
Good Omens ('90) is a comedy about the coming end-times when Satan sends his son to Earth to precipitate Armageddon. Things don't go according to plan and angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley who were never keen are left to sort things out. Authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman are the police.
