Now that I've seen it? Largely agree. It had the same problems the book did -- which is that the book developed Crowley and Arizaphale well, but not so much everyone else and frankly drug. I'm guessing Gaiman and Prachette really just wanted to do Waiting for Godot talks about metaphysics but felt the need to cram Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the Apocaplytic Version on Earth) and The Good Place in for good measure?

It works whenever C & A or Tennant and Sheen are on screen, when they aren't, it drags. Although I did love the casting, and the four horsemen were well cast and sort of fun metaphorically speaking...the kids could have been slightly better, and the Anathema/Pulsiver romance was boring.

I think the God voice over bits where Gaiman's way of giving a voice to Prachett's footnotes (which I could have done without in both, but liked better in the film version just because not a fan of footnotes in fiction.)

I enjoyed it though and rec'd it to a co-worker who didn't read the book, who absolutely adored it.
