Good Omens review, Culture Whisper
When growing up, myths and fairytales are among the first casualties. What’s the use of a nonsense story that can’t possibly happen? How is that meant to sort out Trump or Brexit? It's not useful in any way, it's childish.
Perhaps that’s right - but regardless, grownups still need the fanciful. Escapism is needed now more than ever, and Good Omens provides.
Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, the series bends and shakes various superstitions told in Christian mythology. Gaiman, acting as writer and creator, builds an unpredictable world that follows a funny, child-like logic, while being cloaked in a mature darkness. In other words, prepare for blood as much as Sherbet Lemons.
