This is perfect.

Released on Friday 31 May, Good Omens dropped to some decent reviews, thanks to a great cast, original author Neil Gaiman remaining heavily involved, and an interesting story to tell. An angel (Michael Sheen) and a demon (David Tennant) are forced to team up to save the world from the apocalypse, crossing paths with God and the Devil and everything in between on the way. JOE was lucky enough to sit down with some of the cast and makers of the show in the lead-up to its release, and we fully recommend you check it out. Not everyone agrees with us though, as tens of thousands of people signed a petition online for Netflix to remove the show from their library. The problem, of course, is that Good Omens isn't on Netflix. It's on Prime Video, the Amazon streaming service, so there isn't a whole lot that Netflix can actually do about it, something that Neil Gaiman himself picked up on: https://twitter.com/neilhimself/status/1141369513134436352 Still, there's no such thing as bad publicity when you're telling a story about the devil and the end of the world, we guess. Should you want to go right to hell, you can enjoy Good Omens on Prime Video right now. Clip via Amazon Prime Video
