If you follow Neil Gaiman on Twitter, you would have experienced all he went through to adapt Good Omens to a TV miniseries. The biggest burden he had on the production was making a miniseries that his co-writing partner the late Terry Pratchett would enjoy watching. Gaiman went through a lot and the mini-series is a masterpiece like a demented I, Claudius. Starting with the casting of Michael Sheen and David Tennant as the angel and devil, there are no missteps in the tale of all the missteps toward Armageddon with the arrival of the Antichrist. Michael McKean (This Is Spinal Tap) nearly steals the series as Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell. His accent is so intriguing that you think he’d been kicked out of The Fall. Now you can have the DVD or Bluray on the shelf next to your copy of Good Omens when the boxset gets released on November 5. Here’s the press release from BBC Studios America:
