|
Set in 2018, the series follows the demon Crowley (David Tennant) and the angel |
|
Aziraphale (Michael Sheen), longtime acquaintances who, having grown accustomed |
|
to life on Earth as representatives of Heaven and Hell, seek to prevent the |
|
coming of the Antichrist and with it Armageddon, the final battle between |
|
Heaven and Hell.</p> |

|
<p>There is a certain "Douglas-Adams-ian" style on the series that really made my |
|
day (I bet it was all Pratchett fault here, but I haven't read Pratchett yet, |
|
so YMMV). And by that I mean the narration throwing you into confusion, text |
|
snippets that show up to throw you into confusion and the general "Oh, nuns. |
|
But they are <strong>SATANIC</strong> nuns" out of nowhere. All those misdirections just |
|
make the whole thing funnier.</p> |
|
<p>Also, you can see that the whole cast was having a blast doing it -- and I bet |
|
Tennant was the one having the best time of all. Jon Hamm, playing Gabriel as a |
|
"I don't fucking care about being good" angel is hilarious. Miranda Richardson, |
|
whose character later in the series have to share the body with another spirit |
|
does an <em>amazing</em> job with the actor playing the other spirit (not going to |
|
spoilt <em>everything</em> here) with the mouth motions and personality. Michael |
|
McKean making a very strong Scottish accent was also impressive, to the point |
|
that it really took me awhile to realize who he was.</p> |
|
<p>So, great plot, lots of fun, actors having fun and doing an amazing job in |
|
their roles... Even if the end is a bit obvious, it is a great series. Too bad |
|
it is just one season.</p> |
