Parent reviews for Good Omens

I absolutely loved the series, it's a great screen adaptation of a wonderful book. There is nothing not to like about the series, writing is excellent, acting is top notch, amazing music, costumes and special effects. And the show itself is a hymn to humanity. My 10 year old daughter enjoyed it almost as much as I did, and I liked her questions and comments, it was not just entertaining, but it made her think and ponder. Yes, there is some swearing and a hint to sex, but I was OK with it. So was she.

This is a phenomenal show that is sure to be enjoyable for a wide age range. There are a couple violent/dark scenes but no blood or gore at all. There's one sex scene but very brief and no nudity. There is reference to prostitution and pornography. Language is infrequent but fairly strong, few "shit"s and 3 instances of (*whispers*) the fuck word. Overall an excellent, quirky show with great acting, interesting storyline, and hilarious scenes. Younger kids, teens and adults will enjoy.

Good omens is really great

Good omens is my favourite tv series of all time. I absolutely love the characters and it makes me laugh out loud. In episode three, it starts with the story - from the very Beginning - of Crowley and Aziraphales relationship. I am halfway through reading the book, and - this is a rare occasion - I think the tv series is just as good as the incredible book! I don’t say that much so take that into account. There are some things missed out that I don’t agree with, but they are replaces with more incredible and hilarious scenes. I would recommend this to anyone over ten and maybe even mature nine year olds

Fun mini series to watch, definitely would recommend!! A sex scene is present... but it doesn’t show anything really, more suggestive. Alcohol drinking and a drunk scene between Crowley and aziraphale. May be scary for younger viewers since their are creepy looking demons and it’s the end of the world. Other than that... ten outa ten, would recommend

I watched this with my 13 year old. We are big David Tennant and Neil Gaiman fans. We have both also read the book. While there is a sex scene (episode 4), you never actually see any nudity. You know what they are doing(under the bed during a hurricane). You could fast forward those parts. The “naked woman another review mentions is Eve’s backside in the garden of eden scene. There is some swearing as well. All in all, use your judgment and rules for your family to decide. This show has become a favorite in our house.

It good for 10 and up and definitely not 9s

I was a bit let down by this series as I was hoping for some manner of theological or philosophical prodding. Unfortunately, there was nothing outside of what was already seen in the preview and special effects were barely music video quality. I would be careful seeing it with less than a mature 12yr old, outside of the profanity/ F-bombs already mentioned. Amazon's TV-MA rating is appropriate. One of the main female protagonists is a prostitute. The sex scene other reviewers talked about is going to generate discussion to the uninitiated. Imagine going back and forth on facial expressions during loud acrobatic Hollywood one-night stand sex that lasts quite a while as it is being cut in and out of other plot scenes. Also a man gets out of bed with another man, who appears to be a prostitute, to take a phone call. Regarding the message of the series, it suggests that heaven and hell are the war mongers, and that humans can maintain peace, with the help of the antichrist and witchcraft. The plot involves the glorification of abdication - the idea that fulfilling one's duty is less noble than allowing oneself to become enamored by the pursuit a contrary direction as long as it seems interesting. I would recommend spending your time with something else if you aren't captivated by the second episode, because it doesn't get any better or more interesting.
