Oops, my bad.
Good Omens is twice as good as it needs to be. Genuinely.
If it were written by a good, experienced TV writer who could move a story along but didn’t have the nuance and world building skill of Neil Gaiman. If the leads were played by a couple of good actors with perfectly decent chemistry, but not the incredible character depth, decades of film and theatre experience, and on-screen electricity of Michael Sheen and David Tennant. If it were art directed, designed, scored and costumed by competent professionals who were good at what they do but not extraordinarily dedicated to perfection. If all of that were true, it would be a good show, fun to watch and entertaining.
But it wouldn’t have broken my heart into a thousand pieces. It wouldn’t have millions of fans wondering how they’re going to wait literally years for the conclusion. It wouldn’t have spawned tens of thousands of works of fan fiction and art. It wouldn’t occupy the thoughts and hearts of so many people daily months and months after being released.
It’s such a good example of why good enough is fine sometimes but great is something truly to be strived for, appreciated, and treasured.
I’m a bad person who jumps to suicide when things get too much and burdens others with the thought of me being gone and wondering if me being gone would make things better for them
Results are in tomorrow!!!
