Featured reviews
This episode is my personal favorite. Tennant and Sheen really come into their own as characters, and their chemistry radiates thru their characters.
So much so that it lends heart to the series in a way that I don't think can be accomplished with any other actors.
This episode proved that the casting was perfect.

You know the title *above is true when you spend the opening 20 minutes of this episode with Sheen and Tenant, before resuming the dreadfully average Good Omens story. Crowley and... err... The Angel are easily the best thing about GO. I had a lot of goodwill towards this after episode one, despite my dislike of Neil Gaiman's work. But after now watching 3 episodes I wonder how he Gaiman and Terry Pratchett managed to work together on a novel as popular as Good Omens.
I am not sure how they have managed to make such a fun story this boring, bland, mundane. It's very slow, painfully so.

I LOVE this show, reading the book is definitely on my list. I wanted to watch it because I am a huge fan of Michael Sheen & David so of course I had to watch this. And I watched American Gods which also based off Neil's book so I was stoked to watch this.
Definitely DID NOT disappoint, episode three of season 1 is one of my favourites because of all the flashbacks.
I love that Michael and David are real friends in reality after filming this, also watch STAGED with them if you haven't. They filmed it over the pandemic over zoom & it's hilarious, it's on prime video!
Anyways glad this show got a season 2 because it's just fabulous.

What a pleasure this episode was, especially the first half. Tennant and Sheen are wonderful as ever; their chemistry is palpable, and seeing their growth through the ages has been my favorite part of this series. Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and Mark Gatiss making supporting appearances (as Shakespeare and two Nazi agents, respectively) only added to the enjoyment. This sprawling episode was equally funny and charming, and overall a magnificent viewing experience.

- TriviaThe sign on Aziraphale's shop reads: "Bookshop Opening Hours - I open the shop on most weekdays about 11:30 or perhaps 10 am while occasionally I open the shop as early as 8, I have been known not to open until 1, except on Tuesday, I tend to close about 5:30 pm, or earlier if something needs tending to. However, I might occasionally keep the shop open until 8 or 9 at night. You never know when you might need some light reading. On days that I am not in, the shop will remain closed. On weekends, I will open the shop during normal hours unless I am elsewhere. Bank Holidays will be treated in the usual tradition, with early closing on Wednesdays, or sometimes Fridays. (For Sundays see Tuesdays). A. Z. Fell, Bookseller.
- GoofsIn 539, when Crowley and Aziraphale are knights, they wear suits of armour. The suits of armour they wear, plate armour, do not match with armour of the time. Plate armour has been reliably traced to the beginning of the 15th century, 900 years after 539.
- Quotes
[during Jesus's crucifixion]
Crowley: [wincing] Oh, that has got to hurt. What was it he said that got everyone so upset?
Aziraphale: "Be kind to each other."
Crowley: Oh yeah. That'll do it.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits sequence doesn't start until 28 minutes 40 seconds in, almost exactly halfway through the episode run time. In all other episodes, the intro starts 2-6 minutes in.
