Product Description

Der Wettlauf zwischen Himmel und Hölle hat begonnen ...

Erziraphael (Michael Sheen) ist ein Engel. Crowley (David Tennant) ein Dämon. Beide leben seit über 6000 Jahren auf der Erde und haben sich in dieser Zeit doch sehr – ja vielleicht zu sehr - an das irdische Leben gewöhnt. Sie mögen die Musik, das Essen und ja, manchmal auch die Menschen. Und irgendwie scheinen sich beide auch aneinander gewöhnt zu haben – auch wenn sie im ewigen Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse gefangen sind. Das ist für beide aber noch lange kein Grund, ihr Leben auf der Erde in Frage zu stellen.
Und da liegt auch schon das Problem: Denn die Ankunft des Antichristen wird verkündet und damit auch das Ende der Welt. Alles läuft nach dem Göttlichen Plan … außer, dass jemand den Antichristen vertauscht zu haben scheint.
Erziraphael und Crowley bleibt daher nichts weiter übrig, alle ihre Kräfte zu bündeln um die Apokalypse zu verhindern. Zu viel steht auf dem Spiel – auch ihr bequemes Leben auf der Erde …

GOOD OMENS ist ein fantastisches Endzeit-Spektakel, voll gespickt mit Star-Power, überirdischen Effekten und klassischem britischen Humor. Treten Sie ein in die Welt voller Engel und Dämonen in der alles passieren kann – von Wundern über Prophezeiungen bis hin zu ungewöhnlichen Freundschaften. Ein Weltuntergang muss ja noch lange nicht das Ende der Welt sein …

Basierend auf dem umjubelten Roman von Neil Gaiman und Terry Pratchett. Neil Gaiman konnte als Show-Runner für die Serie verpflichtet werden und hat den als unverfilmbar geltenden Roman genial in einen 6-Teiler verwandelt. Hochkarätig bis in die Nebenrollen besetzt, u.a. mit Jon Hamm, Adria Arjona, Michael McKean, Miranda Richardson, uvm.

Bonusmaterial:
Featurettes, Deleted Scenes, Bilder Galerien, Audiokommentar, u.v.m.

Great Show

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2024

I loved the book before the mini-series was made, and the show does the book justice. The comedy is hilarious. I love the end-times plot. Perfect actors for Crowley and Aziraphale. I don’t like how they made the narrator the voice of God. It’s not how the book was written, and it’s distasteful. They screwed up one of the best quotes from the book at the beginning by saying “I” instead of “God.”

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.“

Season 1 is great, Season 2 a little pushy less entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2024

Season 1 of 'Good Omens' casts a spell with its whimsical exploration of religious themes, mixing humor and prophecy in a divine cocktail of entertainment. The dynamic duo of Aziraphale and Crowley carry the show, infusing the cosmic comedic conflict with a delightful blend of charm and mischief.

But let's talk about the elephant in the room-or rather, the conspicuous absence of a certain figure from the heavens. That's right, I'm talking about the conspicuous absence of a Christ character in modern entertainment. In the good place, supernatural and others, the entertainment industry seem hell bent on omitting the main man of history from the plot. The closest thing I've seen to this may be Xenk in Dungeons and Dragons.

A modern take on a Jesus God could add a lot to the universe and as seen with the success of a series like the Chosen there is demand for the topic. Without a Jesus character, heaven is understandable about as stale as a corporate office on a Monday morning, while hell gets the creative energy with its fiery pits and gruesome disgusts. What is lacking here and in so many stories is an equally lively and creative heaven. Would it be so difficult to portray a modern, classy Christ character who's part relatable, part funny, commanding yet extremely empathetic. A great show otherwise.

Season 2 takes a sharp turn down preachy Lane. Making the central theme a conflict of ‘social progress’ with a plot that is is both unrealistic and un-relatable for most watchers and alienates a large swathe of the population and really ruined the second season for me. While Season 1 of 'Good Omens' remains a delight, Season 2 could use a little less preaching and a lot more entertainment. We'll see if they can bring it back for the third but I remain skeptical even they can pull off a miracle of that size.

Provocative Viewing, ONLY Season 1 Included

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

While Season 1 is outstanding, this product only contains Season 1. References to Season 2 in reviews are not related to this product.. Much to my surprise! The product description deftly avoids describing the number of episodes, or the number of seasons. Amazon Studios produced the series.

Witty writing, endearing characters, truly just a joy to watch

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023

This show is really a labor of love. Neil Gaiman and the entire cast and crew show their passion for the story every episode in all the details. The first season is based very closely on the original novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Sir Terry Pratchett, which is already a hilarious and thought-provoking adventure, but this adaptation brings the story to life in such a wonderful, vivid way. The casting and depiction of the characters is spot on, and the actors' adoration for their characters can practically be felt through the screen. Despite some wonky CGI in parts, the costumes, art direction, and acting are solid enough that I'm not too distracted by the occasional green screen (thankfully not overused) or slightly silly looking visual effects. And I can't praise the diversity depicted in the show enough, particularly in the second season.

The second season sets up the sequel story that Neil and Sir Terry had planned, but never wrote, and despite having a somewhat different tone from the first season, season two was an absolutely mesmerizing watch. Trading some of season one's shenanigans for a somewhat more human, grounded story about earthly struggles, moral quandaries, and love, season two raises a lot of questions that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and absolutely desperate for the release of season three. If you like nuanced British comedy with a bit of zaniness on the side, focused around a slow-burn deep character relationship surrounded by witty social commentary, I can't recommend Good Omens enough.

With so many afraid of offending various "snowflakes," I find this is a refreshing take on the doom and gloom Revelations. Very entertaining as an alternate view..

Absolutely delightful - playful and humanistic

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2023

I adore the book of Good Omens (the cast of this show made a fantastic audiobook version as well!), and season 1 is a very faithful adaptation: an angel and a demon who are definitely not married set out to avert the apocalypse because they both love eating fancy breakfasts and drinking wine together. David Tennant and Michael Sheen give enrapturing performances (no pun intended).

In a move widely regarded as a betrayal on the order of Brutus to Caesar, creator Neil Gaiman described season two before its release as "quiet, gentle, and romantic." Which is true right up until the point it's the opposite of that. It's wonderfully written and acted, and it will rip your still beating heart from your body.

***A special note for all my former Destiel/Johnlock/etc. shippers out there***
If you had your little gay heart's hopes dashed by shows such as Sherlock, Supernatural, Merlin, Teen Wolf, and Hannibal, you need look no further than Good Omens (or for that matter Our Flag Means Death - both are great and very gay). Yes they are two genderless eternal beings, not human males as Neil always reminds us, but obviously in all the cultural senses that will most likely matter to you, Crowley and Aziraphale are gay and canonically romantically in love. Your gay heart will be broken and laying on the floor by the end of season 2, but it will also be very validated.

Don't watch it if you don't have a sense of humor

The MOST important thing for me to know when I search a video to add to my library is: For which region is it intended? This information didn't seem apparent to me when I opted to purchase this DVD but the packaging did confirm it was Region 1. YES!!!

If you have any appreciation for the way Neil Gaiman's mind works, the fantastical worlds/characters he creates and describes - in this case with Terry Pratchett -, then this trip to Armageddon will will prove very satisfying. Check your religious beliefs at the door, though, it's all meant in jest.

Season two was another joy ride, albeit with a heartbreaking end, and I look forward to the day I can set it beside this very entertaining tale.

Check both seasons out on Prime and support a third season!
