I wanted to love this adapation, I bought the book when it was first released and have read it dozens of times. The show shines when Aziraphale and Crowley are on screen and when The Them is present - those performances are spot on. It drags when the added characters and plot line is present (Gabriel and the heaven parts).

Madame Tracy is perfect, Shadwell seems far too coherent.

Anathema and Newt are fine I guess.

The first 28 minutes of episode 3 details in excruciating and painful detail a single paragraph of the book that in no way needed to be drawn out in this sort of malignant detail.

In all, most of this series unfortunately seems 'off' and a brilliant cast all around was wasted.
