It's confounding how such a brilliant novel could be mangled into this atrocious embarrassment. The first few episodes showed promise, even though it was clear they were going for a more campy style which eventually wore thin to the point of inane rubbish. Crowley and Aziraphile of course stole the show, especially the latter. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which inexplicably were inaccurately named, were horrendous. Not one of them could act worth spit they were absolutely terrible. Two women, of course one black, and yet another black as the third and then Death. Silly outfits, cringy dialogue. Nothing menacing about these clowns whatsoever. This is not an adaptation where the Woke Agenda should creep in. It was glaringly out of place and such an obvious attempt to pander it was actually painful. Casting by skin color and sex is never a good idea and they consistently got it wrong here. I think the reviews of 1 are a bit harsh, but it certainly never even comes close to reaching a 5. The effects were mostly refuse, but a few good bits scattered throughout. Some hokey parts dragged the series down as well, and the romance between Anathema and Newton simply didn't ring true at all. Zero chemistry, and if not for the aforementioned Four Horsemen they would have been the real anchors in the acting department. By the 3rd episode I knew I was in for real slog, and barely made it to the end. Waste of time. Hastur and Ligur were also standouts though. Their dedication to their role was flawless and enjoyable. Otherwise it was just an experience that could only be considered unfortunate. I think that's enough of a review that will likely never get read.
