It's the religious version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and that's what makes it one of the best tv shows out right now. Series creator and secret genius, Neil Gaiman, creates his love letter to Douglas Adams and the mind of Terry Gilliam. It creates such a wonderful blend of quirkiness and poetry, a wonderful tv friendship of an angel and a demon. Every episode is filled with such wonderful British humor and wit, charming dialogue, and hilarious acting. Michael Sheen and David Tennant make that show what it is, creating one of the funniest and best friendships ever. There's so much of it that reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, such heavy theme combined with a wonderful quirky story and characters, and giving it such a nice slice of life British way of cleverness. While hoping and praying for a second season, it's certainly the best Neil Gaiman adaptation we've had, making it feel like a long lost project Terry Gilliam directed in the 90s. The only downside is it's too short, only long enough to be a great adaptation of the source material, but it leaves us wanting more. There's nothing funnier than making fun of religion, Monty Python knew it better than anyone, and this would be the penultimate example. It's got incredible music, and one hell of an opening theme, wonderful cinematography, writing, acting, the whole shebang. Just like Sheen and Tennant enjoying life to the fullest, drinking expensive wine, dining on elegant food and watching humanity evolve and roll by, is exactly how I enjoy the show.
