So Tennant keeps reminding me of my first serious boyfriend as Crowley. He never has before but something about his hair and his build and his sunglasses as me thinking of Chris. Who loved Neil Gaiman btw and was my intro to things like MST3K, Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Red Dwarf.
Not that Chris's hair was that long but it was fluffy and kinda curly.
I've only watched the first episode. I'm enjoying it so far. Matthew hasn't read the book so this is all new to him. It's fun to see his reaction to the story.
My first serious boyfriend looked like Charles Manson. Cheekbones for days and intense eyes. This seems like a better association.
Tenant seems to have modeled his Crowley very closely on the British rocker Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp).
The first episode was DELIGHTFUL. I'm trying to convince my non-binge-watching husband to watch the second episode, but he's all "We should spread it out, so we have something to look forward to!" Sheesh.
...and I got him to watch the second episode! Yay! Continues to be delightful. I like Aziraphale so much more than I ever did in the book.
We made it halfway through the second before being too tired. It is fun!
We watched the first episode last night and it was PERFECTION.

Dear Carrot Boy,
It's a mini-series. Currently there is no second season of
Good Omens
in the works. Think of it as a long movie. It's not like you've got to stretch it out until season two debuts, because there isn't one*.
Binge binge binge
Love,
Cindy
*I don't think Gaiman wants to do more without Pratchett. That said, they had done some unpublished work on a follow-up, some of which was incorporated into this season, so I wouldn't say a second season or some other kind of spinoff is impossible. It's just not in the works.

Teppy, DELIGHTFUL is exactly it. I even love the music over the opening credits. I adore everything about it thus far.
There was a scene in episode 3 or 4 (we got a little mixed up in our watching, because one time dh fell asleep and another time I did) that I tensed up before watching, but it turned out to be for no reason.

PERFECTION is also exactly it
The
crucifixion
scene was a tough watch.
One thing they didn't include was the explanation of why all the Queen. I read a review where the reviewer was wondering why Queen kept turning up in the soundtrack. I wanted to comment "Read the book!", but it would have involved giving them my e-mail address.
