Good Omens - 1x1 "In the Beginning" Reaction

[@bails_haveman]

This show is my “Roman Empire” I think about it daily and have been practically counting the days since the last episode aired

[@LilianeLeclerc]

In an interview, Eric Kripke said he liked Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel Good Omens, and was inspired by the Crowley character for his Crowley.

[@eolsunder]

yep some great characters leading the show lol. "We're enemies, get behind me spawn of hell.....after you!"

[@Sillie82]

Lovely reaction. :) Fun fact: Eric Kripke, the creator of Supernatural is a huge Neil Gaiman fan. :)

[@твоёсчастье-ч8л]

I AM HERE FOR EVERY EPISODE YEEEEEEAAH

[@letolethe3344]

I am obsessed by this show since discovering it iast year. It's always great to watch someone else discover the humor and adventure in it.

[@hartjohnson2975]

Gads, I love this series. I'm glad to find it reviewed.

[@celfosrac]

I'm so happy you're reacting to this show, it's incredible!! Can't wait to see the rest of your reactions when they come out!

The plot of this episode and the title are a parody of the 1976 horror film "The Omen" where the baby Antichrist is swapped with the new born son of an American diplomat by satanic nuns, is named Damien and raised by a satanic nanny. Of course in the horror film the switch goes off without a hitch unlike in "Good Omens". (Coincidentally there is a Doctor Who link between "Good Omens" and the 1976 horror film "The Omen" with the 10th Doctor David Tennant starring in "Good Omens" and the second Doctor Patrick Troughton playing a fairly major role as the Priest Father Brennan in "The Omen".)

I love when I find new channels watching and supporting Good Omens! Count me in!

[@HuntingViolets]

You're saying Aziraphale just fine. Crowley was Crawley in Eden but later changed to Crowley (as in crow, not crowd -- the opposite of _Supernatural)._

[@colettepot7350]

Actually in the Old testament angels seem to have no trouble killing humans and even children at all. For example the Egyptian first borns, to punish the Pharao, in Exodus, were taken by the Angel of Death.

[@basementintruder]

Commenting before watching...Oh yesssss I've been following your X files reactions for years now and as my xf "hyperfixation" began to fade, I happened to read Good Omens and fell in love with the tv show! Can't wait to see your reactions to Good Omens

[@IberianGeek]

I can't wait for S3! They start to film in January.

[@la_beatrice]

Yay! So happy you are reacting to this show!

[@Umbri3]

You just know Warlock had the most messed up childhood because of them. "Normal" my butt 🤭

[@KelliFranklin]

I will be watching every episode with you! Crowley and Aziraphale are the best characters ever! New sub and I look forward to watching this with you!

[@arielsteinsaltz1956]

Hooray, finally you’re watching a show I’ve seen again lol.

[@HuntingViolets]

"Who doesn't like alliteration?" Exactly. And Damien is better than Warlock.

[@mariskavanrooij7035]

I was waiting for you to react on this show.I Loved it ❤ Hope you like it too 😊

[@jlerrickson]

Yay! This is going to be fun!

[@simonbeaird7436]

Great reaction, Shelley. However, these guys are just getting warmed up!

[@k001daddy]

Have you ever watched the movie Moulin Rouge? That would be a great reaction if you haven't.
