So... am I the only one who watched this? It is brilliant! Gaiman was producer and wrote the screenplay so it stuck tightly to the book, just a few tweaks. David Tennant absolutely killed as Crowley and Michael McKean as Shadwell was unexpected and fun. It's on Amazon Prime - I highly recommend it.

I hope Sir Terry enjoyed it, as it was his dying wish that Gaiman saw to it's being made.

Just watched the series over the last week. Loved it! I have never read the book but really want to now!
Oh, you should! Descriptions and the inner thoughts of characters are something both Pratchett and Gaiman are so good at! You got a taste of that with God's narration but that's only some of what's in the book. Read it - you'll enjoy it.

I thought it was Michael Sheen as Shadwell? What happened for him to be replaced?

I am definitely going to find a copy. Might start with a kindle version, but I believe I will want a physical copy of my own too.
