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

Emy L @Emy.Li Jun 30 Very, VERY strong show. The flawless, powerful, magnetic acting, imaginative script, deadpan absurd humour from the late Terry, the aesthetic, it is perfection. I was weary of season 2, knowing the script would not be based off the book, but it’s even better than season 1! See more james o @RT63376403 May 2 the series is inspired by parts of The Bible, The Omen and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. See more CYBER T @RT48282939 May 1 I have enjoyed every single second of this series. I am not familiar with the original book, but if it is as good, it might get a place on my TOP 10! Who would've thought that a story between the snake that tempted Eve and the Angel of the Eastern Gate would become sort of a romance... There were no "extra scenes" and every single one of the 6 episodes had a determining role to the end, something I personally appreciate. Also, let's talk about Aziraphale and Crowley, what a pair! There is no doubt that Michael Sheen and David Tennant were meant for these roles, and the chemistry between both actors adds credibility to their respective characters. Also, I watched the first episode, where Crowley says that he just brought down all phone lines in London, the day before the big electrical shut down in Spain (where i'm from). Coincidence? I don't think so... A totally must see for those who like subtle romantic stories with a little bit of miracles involved... Sit back and enjoy! See more Emilia K @RT50359853 Apr 15 It's refreshing! Story is really interesting and the actors are fantastic. I am watching it on repeat. See more Estveress G @RT41615861 Mar 30 Love it. Watch it. Right now. See more Rachael H @RT37704463 02/18/2025 I really enjoyed this show. Quite ridiculous, though it is also quite dark and irreverant. David Tennant and Michael Sheen absolutely run away with the series, their performances are stellar. The scenes without them are fine, but you can feel the energy drop, because they really are the heart and soul of the show. See more Read all reviews
