Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Neil Gaiman and the Good Omens cast, crew, and production team have accomplished something never yet fully managed with a Terry Pratchett-related creation: IMO it is "as" good as the original, and if it's a bit weaker in some ways (I think that the Witchfinder Sergeant/Madame Tracy/Newt Pulsifer/Anathema strand was weaker than I'd have preferred--it might have been worth one more episode in the series to flesh those four out a bit more), it was actually stronger in others. Some things were lost in the trimming that I considered well-edited-out. Further, Crowley and Aziraphale were enriched, with both added material and the exquisite acting of Tennant and Sheen. Gaiman also chose to commit further to the *affection* between angel and demon. Some will interpret it as a romance. I found myself seeing it as Gaiman expressing his love for Pratchett, and the depth of their own friendship over the years. However you choose to spin it, it's more clearly tender, and fierce, and one comes away with a stronger sense of people choosing sides--not heaven or hell, but decency and love. I know I will want to watch this again--the material will stand multiple viewings, and will continue to offer plenty to think about during and after watching.
