This is at least the second time I've watched the sci-fi comedy "Good Omens" written by Neil Gaiman.
Heart index: four-star recommendation
Recommended reason: A A lot of comedies and stalks: you who are familiar with British culture must like it very much. There are many famous novels, mythological characters and various British dramas interspersed in it. For example, seeing Xiao Shi from "Doctor Who" playing Crowley really moved me, especially in the plot where there is a phone booth in "Doctor Who" that can be seen everywhere, it must not be my blind guess! And at the end of the world, the fallen angel said to the angel, I can take you to any galaxy in the galaxy to survive, let's go together... My old mother's tears are about to roll down. B Love setting: I was fascinated by the "love story" of the two male protagonists unique to British dramas. Later, I found out that even the official believes that there is no love!
C The shell of the end of the world is actually about human nature: we need a lot of angelic temperament + a little bit of devil temperament = living human beings. The combination of the two gives us desires and allows us to constantly challenge the future and pursue hope. Not the rigid perfect angel who only executes orders or the fallen angel who loses hope and only becomes boring and evil.
D The music and cast are great: The Velvet Underground, Queen... Go and search the playlist, be sure to be satisfied~ By the way, don't miss the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" when you think of it.

The plot is so funny?
hello screenwriter, are you okay?
The protagonists of the story are these two handsome and charming boys. One is Aziraphale, a kind-hearted angel who loves sweets, and the other is Crowley, a fallen angel. The two have been friends since 6,000 years ago. Although they belong to different camps, they have a common goal. , is wandering in this interesting and vivid earth, free from the control of angels and hell, hiding their superiors and living happily in the world. This kind of setting of good and evil, let people put it down. The beginning of the story is that the unpredictable God has an ultimate plan to cause a world war and another plan of human cleansing. The first episode led to the birth of Satan's son. Whether it is the angel camp or the demon camp, they are very concerned about this little baby, hoping that he will grow up to his 11th birthday soon, and then call on 4 big helpers: war, hunger, flu and death, and destroy the world. You read that right, both camps want him to destroy the world, because they take it for granted, it is God's will, and the male protagonist's setting is against this setting.
Despite the efforts of both protagonists to stop it, the first episode ended with just 11 years left until World War. (I watched it for the first time, and there was only one word in my heart: Watt? Did you push the plot so quickly? You will be very happy watching this drama, because the plot is not procrastinated and the various reversals are in line with the logic of the plot. The whole drama has been revolving around One point is that the two male protagonists worked together to prevent the outbreak of a world war. Although they felt that their efforts were in the wrong direction in the end, they never gave up. They just wanted to say no to things that the world took for granted. The content is very rich, only 6 episodes, but it condenses the historical stories of Europe from the mythical period of Adam and Eve to the dark fourteenth century to the Renaissance to the modern period. Each story is portrayed to complete the theme: angels and Are fallen angels really any different? Are they destined to be inevitable?
In addition to the line where the characters grow slowly in the episodes of the two male protagonists, there is also the line of witches and witch hunters interspersed.
The ancestors of the witch family predicted their own death, leaving a book of prophecy hundreds of years ago, and the background of the inheritance book has been studying this book. The most interesting thing is that even Steve Jobs didn't let it go, haha, and there was a prophecy that "the inedible apple will be born into the world".
In the end, the witch was backstage with the witch hunter, who had feuded for generations, and then tore up the second sequel to the prophecy written by the ancestors. Whether it's the two male protagonists or the witch and the witch hunter, they all got love, ahhh, that's not what I'm talking about. No matter which line, in the end, it is revealing a theme: listen to your heart, challenge your destiny, and say NO to the "impossible", this is the human being.
