I am tired of watching shows and films that think that the only way to be compelling or "edgy" is to showcase abusive relationships and torture and kill their protagonists.
Good Omens is compelling because it shows genuine love, respect, and kindness when it would have been so easy to show literally anything else.
Crowley, a demon, doesn't lie to Aziraphale, doesn't hurt him or trick him, doesn't disrespect or power-trip him; he cares about him and treats him well. Aziraphale, an angel, never for a moment rejects Crowley for being a demon, he doesn't try to change him, tell him he is wrong or attempt to "save" him, but instead recognizes all of the good in him and treats him well.
The only unhealthy relationships are between heaven and hell, and they FREE THEMSELVES OF THESE ABUSES.
The whole thing is filled with healthy relationships of all kinds.
Adam and the Them? Even though Adam is seen as the leader of the group, he takes this as a responsibility to provide his friends with the best games and bring them joy, not as a means of controlling them.
Witches and witchfinders fall in love.
No one is tortured or tormented, the world does not end, and a fucking nightingale sings in Berkeley Square.
Good Omens was the first time I have watched a series that didn't leave me tense wondering when the hurt was going to start. I actually realized how emotionally abusive media has become, and that is so fucked up.
It’s 2017 and only now have I realized that the names of the 12 Dancing Princesses all start in order of birth with the first 12 letters of the alphabeth: Ashlyn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, Genevieve, Hadley, Isla, Janessa, Kathleen, Lacey
