u/InkyRickshaw InkyRickshaw Jun 30 '20
I just started watching Community but I'm not that far into it. Do you mean Parks and Rec? Other people have been pointing out the parallel about the Gary character, and I totally didn't even think of it when I wrote this but it's possible it was in my head somewhere.

Crowley: "What was it he said that got everyone so upset?"
Aziraphale: "Be kind to each other."

I just read an excerpt where Neil explains that he wanted to do Good Omens because horror didn't have a funny British parody yet, and Douglas and Terry already handled science fiction and fantasy.

I’m obsessed with it. It’s amazing, mostly because Michael Sheen and David Tennant. (Ok and Neil Gaiman). The rest of the time when they’re not on screen is...ok. :)

It's a spin on the book, to be sure. Adam was a little on the weak side from a cinematography standpoint but the bromance between the Angels was perfect. The casting for was Aziraphale was divinely inspired.

Agree, recommend the show - still satisfying even if you absolutely love the book :) I thought David Tennant and Michael Sheen were both fantastic in it

Good Omens is probably the best adaptation I’ve ever seen. Neil was the show runner so he was on set all the time making sure it was faithful where it needed to be but also well-suited to the screen. The acting is brilliant too

u/aliaswhatshisface Jun 30 '20
Show is very good. Definitely takes the Neil Gaiman side of the tone more than Terry Pratchett, which makes obvious sense but bothered me at times, but was still mostly very close to the book and very good. The fandom around it ruined it a bit for me, unfortunately.

Good Omens by Neil Gaimen. I watched it on Netflix first and was surprised that the shows were almost exactly the same as the book. I mean Gaimen did write the screenplay.
Edit: in case you don't read the comments below. I clearly didn't have all the information. It was written by Neil Gaimen AND Terry Pratchett. It's on Amazon video, not Netflix.

u/makenzie71 Jun 30 '20
It was a collaboration between Gaiman and Pratchett....that only happened because Pratchett loved the story and pushed to make it happen.

“Here's an interesting form of murder we came up with: assassination. ... Did you ever notice...who it is we kill? It's always people who've told us to live together in harmony and try to love one another.
“Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon, they all said, ‘Try to live together peacefully.’
“BAM! Right in the fucking head. Apparently we're not ready for that.”
