Good Omens final grades (maybe spoils) -- (edited)
|
As a TV show: B+. Excellent cast, esp. Tennant and Sheen. Some of the plot point simply didn’t work as well on screen vs on the page, and felt a little slavish to the book at times. Didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment for the most part though. I felt the kids especially got short shrift in terms of character development. The narration was a little heavy-handed at times but mostly effective, except when it was obviously used to include a line that Pratchett had wrote that would have worked better shown than told. I thought the coda (which isn’t in the book) was really well done.
As an adaptation/homage to the book/Pratchett: A. Hard to think of anything they left out that was missed.
