Heaven, Hell, and Everything In-Between
Why the British fantasy comedy TV show »Good Omens« – co-produced by the BBC and Amazon Prime – has become such a hit is not at all »ineffable«. The series, based on the beloved novel by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, follows the angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley in their attempts to prevent the Apocalypse and save humanity from both ›above‹ and ›below‹, while slowly falling for each other. »Good Omens’« unique blend of humor, fantasy, and biblical themes has captivated audiences. The lead performances by Michael Sheen (Aziraphale) and David Tennant (Crowley) have been particularly praised for their chemistry and ability to bring these iconic characters to life. The series has also been lauded for its clever writing, stunning visual effects, intricate costumes and set-design, and its exploration of profound themes such as free will, good vs. evil, friendship, the meaning of life, and the very nature of existence. Because of its subversive humor, the constant transgression of societal norms as well as its pointed intertextual references to popular culture, literature, and history, »Good Omens« gained a strong and dedicated fan-following, which centers around Aziraphale and Crowley. The contributions of this volume from literary, cultural, media, film, and television studies as well as related disciplines are concerned with a broad variety of aspects of this thought-provoking series regarding mythology, intertextuality, gender, and fandom in particular.
