David Tennant (Doctor Who) and Michael Sheen (Prodigal Son) are following up their coronavirus-themed return to the world of Good Omens with another thematic trip into social distancing and self-isolating. The BBC announced on Friday that the duo is set for new home lockdown comedy Staged, airing on BBC One from Infinity Hill and GCB […]
When it comes to Neil Gaiman (American Gods) and the late Sir Terry Pratchett's (The Colour of Magic) Good Omens, time can be a pretty funny thing. If you watched the series adaptation on BBC Two, it's only been a little more than two months since you last checked in with angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and […]
Once upon a time… working for television was labelled a "demotion," a professional death sentence for actors whose careers were considered on a no-way-back downward spiral. Today, actors of all ages and experiences (especially women and actors of color) have found more opportunities to practice their craft and tell their stories (and be recognized for […]

Remember when Good Omens premiered on Amazon Prime earlier this year? A whole bunch of people got upset about it. The original novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is a long-beloved and cherished fantasy-comedy, but apparently fanatical Christians aren't fans. Over 20,000 people apparently signed a petition condemning the show for taking "another step […]
After a more subdued episode last week, this week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son has Bright (Tom Payne) back on his child psychiatrist couch with a photo of himself with the family old car questioning what him and his father were doing in the middle of nowhere, an innocent camping trip? Probably not. He is […]
Cosplay takes commitment. Time. Money. Transportation, Availability. Which means it's less likely to be seen on the Thursday of a comic convention like New York Comic Con. So there was a light smattering today rather than the full-blown cosplay roar of a Friday or a Saturday. Nevertheless, there were some fine examples… here are a […]
Late author Mervyn Peake's "Gormenghast" novels have found a home at Showtime, with the cable network set to develop an adaptation of the fantasy drama alongside some of the biggest names in popular culture: writer Toby Whithouse (Doctor Who), Neil Gaiman (Good Omens, American Gods) and Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind). Co-produced by American Gods […]
With FOX having its time to shine during their time at the Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press event, viewers are getting a first-look preview for the upcoming crime procedural/serial killer thriller Prodigal Son. Starring The Walking Dead's Tom Payne (who replaced Marvel's Iron Fist star Finn Jones (Marvel's Iron Fist) as lead) and The Good Fight's Michael […]
If anyone was expecting a quiet Saturday out of Amazon Prime Video, then they were sadly mistaken. During their turn at the Television Critics Association's (TCA) summer press event, the streamer made a number of big announcements. Sci-fi drama The Expanse was given a fifth season pick-up months ahead of its Season 4 debut, while […]
Sir Terence David John Pratchett (or Terry, if you read his books) was possessed of a singular intellect, with a passion for writing clever dialogue for clever characters. His Discworld books are particular favorites of mine, but nothing, and I mean nothing, comes close to Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with another clever person, Neil […]
In a move that is sure to help an evangelical group rest a little easier tonight, Amazon has offered to remove Stranger Things from their lineup of streaming entertainment, but there's a catch- Netflix will need to remove Good Omens from their lineup. The move was made to help appease a group of over 20,000 […]
Good Omens was many things. Entertaining? Yeah, check that. Engaging? Hells to the yes. David Tennant and Michael Sheen were miraculous as Crowley and Aziraphale. Maybe a little long? Sure. The series would have clipped along beautifully with one less episode. Sacrilegious? What the actual hell? 20,000 people identifying themselves as Christians flooded Netflix with […]
The third episode of Good Omens, the Amazon series about a demon and angel who totally aren't in love with each other at the End of Days, features a cold open that lasts a good 28 minutes. Seriously, 28 minutes go by before the opening credits even roll. In those 28 minutes, we see Aziraphale […]
It's the end of the world as we know it… but from the looks of Amazon Prime Video's Good Omens, it doesn't plan on going quietly. In fact, it's safe to say that the road to "The End Times" is gonna' be a right messy one. Based on Neil Gaiman's (American Gods) and the late Terry Pratchett's (Colour […]
Yesterday, I rocked up at the Good Omens Pop Up on Greek Street, Soho, London, recreating Aziraphale's bookshop from Good Omens – the book and the TV show – and giving folk an immersive experience. This includes an escape room, a gallery of artwork created for the show and props from the show. I rocked […]
Earlier today I popped to Dean Street in Soho to enter the recreated Aziraphale's bookshop escape room with a couple of friends from local comic shop Orbital Comics ahead of the release of Good Omens on Amazon Prime tomorrow. I'll have a video report for then, as well as a quick chat with artist Lorna […]
It's the end of the world as we know it… but from the looks of Amazon Prime Video's Good Omens London premiere and New York City red carpet/screening, it plans on going out in style. Based on Neil Gaiman (American Gods) and the late Terry Pratchett's (Colour of Magic) novel and written by showrunner Gaiman, the six-part adaptation […]
"The whole business with the fossilized dinosaur skeletons was a joke that paleantologists haven't seen yet," intones the voice of god, realized wryly by Frances McDormand, "This proves two things: Firstly, God does not play dice with the universe- I play an ineffable game of my own devising. For everyone else, it's like playing poker […]
The Amazon/BBC TV adaptation of Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's novel Good Omens, adapted by Neil Gaiman and starring David Tennant and Michael Sheen, is set to air on Amazon Prime pretty damn soon. And the PR is out in full effect. Including the creation of a five-floor immersive Good Omens experience, escape room […]
