Yeah, count me in

this show is pretty much perfect for fans of the books.

Mmm. It's been years since I read it, and I'm only part way through episode 2, but:

Does it ever stop just... reading the book to me? The Agnes Nutter bit really stuck out as a bad example of telling, not showing.

Sheen, Tennant and Hamm were great. I liked most of the angels and demons, but it goes a bit CBBC in places Tracy's initial possession and the talking-the-monsters-to-death ending I found grating. Pollution was memorably oily.

The narration really did my head in in places.

I know what a horseshoe is and its folklore uses are! You don't need to tell me! Thanks for completely ruining the timing of the RP Tyler "your car is on fire" joke, too.

DEATH: unfurls wings
GOD: "Death unfurled his wings"

Oh! They swapped places, I see what -
GOD: "Here is exactly what happened, and what Agnes was talking about"
