I first came across the book in 2017, bought it and was immediately hooked by the story.
Years passed, and when they announced the casts for the series, I was skeptical (I'm not a big movie/TV person) as I knew nothing about Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
Decided to give it a try, and boy, it's so good. Everyone is so perfectly casted.
I’m genuinely worried about II. Not because I don’t think Gaiman can go it alone, but because the original had an unstable insanity to it that will be difficult to continue without being ridiculous for ridiculous’ sake.
I hope it’s good, of course.
The chemistry between Angel and Crawley is just umph chef's kiss.
Although, I'm the archangle fucking gabriel is said in such an impeccable manner.
Actually reading the book right now for the first time! I'm about halfway through and really enjoying it so far.
I did watch the show when it first aired so I'm struggling not to picture Tennant and Sheen in the main parts but i think they did a pretty good job so I'm not too worried.
It's my first Gaiman book but umpteenth Pratchett. I think a second TV series without TP will work better than a second book would've done.
The BBC audio drama with Mark Heap and Peter Serafinawiz is also excellent. Gaiman and Pratchett make a small cameo playing some policemen!
