Good Omens…had it's moments, especially the Douglas Adams footnotes and the angel/demon BFF story. But overall treating those themes so innocuously came off as, I dunno. Inauthentic? Cutesy? British? Maybe it was just me.

One of the many reasons for defending Quesada is that he's kept it rolling in spite of sales.

Joey: I have to go now. New York  needs me.

Eh, they're funny that way. I mean they'll do local assassinations for a coin in a wishing well, but demand half the Iron Bank in exchange for sending someone across the pond.
