This fantasy series sees fussy angel Aziraphale and loose-living demon Crowley team up to form an unlikely duo. The two have become overly fond of life on Earth, and they are forced into forming an alliance in an attempt to stop the approaching Armageddon. To do that, they have to find the missing Antichrist, an 11-year-old boy who is unaware that he is meant to bring the end of days upon humanity. Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Jon Hamm star in the series, which is based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A smörgåsbord of heavenly imagery and irreverent hilarity, Good Omens works thanks to Michael Sheen and David Tennant's very-nearly-holy (or maybe unholy?) chemistry -- though, at only six episodes, it's a rare adaptation that may have benefitted from being a little less faithful to the good book.

Kelly Lawler USA Today 11/10/2021
Adapted from a 1990 novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the apocalyptic miniseries has a quirky British comedic tone. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 01/16/2020
3/5
The supporting characters, such as the two couples each raising a son (one the Antichrist, one not), were insubstantial and underpowered, and the part where the nuns bungled the swapping of the babies was dull and protracted when it could have been funny.

It's a show made in heaven, and hellishly good. Go to Full Review Dev Shea 1428 Elm 09/15/2022
Six episode are just enough to tell this story (see that Game of Thrones???). If you have Amazon Video, watch this Good Omens. It is endearing and hilarious and it will make you want to read the book. Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine 04/26/2021
A clever and funny debate about right and wrong, and the role we humans play in this fight. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Chris Ludovici The Spool 01/18/2020
If you're one of those people who find stories about the End Times stressful or upsetting, don't worry, Good Omens is neither. It's funny and charming and very human. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sam C @Sam_carter23 Jul 13 Pure magic. Not just the story, but the perfect balance of action, humor, and comfort. The characters are brilliant, but Michael Sheen and David Tennant do an incredible job bringing them to life, they take them to a whole new level. See more Lorien B. @RT15747231 Jun 6 Witty, sarcastic, and wonderful. See more Crystal S @RT52739921 May 22 Absolutely ineffable Everything is simply perfect ( although yes i have some nitpicks mainly about the stuff that didnt make it in from the book) But aside from that, its perfection and its made even moreso by Michael Sheen and David Tennant. Perfectly casted, the both of them. See more Nelly S @RT40888781 May 21 The best season,Totally recomend it.
