The book is a parody of The Omen. The Antichrist was switched at birth (twice!) and has no idea who he really is. Aziraphale and Crowley are an angel and a demon determined to stop the apocalypse (they've both come to enjoy living on Earth) Then there's Anathema Device, the descendant of Agnes Nutter, the most accurate (if overly specific) seer ever to live, Newton Pulsifer, one of the last Witchfinders in existence, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (War, Famine, Pollution, and Death) and a VERY confused hellhound... It's also bloody hilarious.
(Not that you'd expect any less, coming from Pratchett and Gaiman)

Excellent book and I am very much looking forward to the series, even if Tennant isn't how I pictured Crowely.

For the last 15 years I've been reading it as Crowl-ey, but it seems the show (and Neil Gaiman) pronounce it as Crow-ley.
(I mean, since his original name was pronounced as Crawl-ey, wouldn't Crowl-ey have been the most logical derivation?)

Just finished watching season 2 of Castlevania on Netflix and I'm blown away by how good this show is! Season 3 can't come soon enough!

This is Triss by Netflix. Why, oh why? I'm really really butthurt as the Witcher books and games fans.
The sometimes used argument is “This is a fantasy game, you have dragons, you can have non-white races” does not make much sense to me, as the fantasy core of The Witcher is the Slavic mythology, and while dragons fit, non-white races simply do not — the same way white people are not a part of Egyptian mythology.

I don't care too much about the race. It's the fucking hair. If that gal has Triss hair, whatever. If not, yes this is lame. Also, Hollywood sucks.

I talked to a friend who really likes The Witcher about the show. "A fucking disgrace, that's what it is". Oh and "What can you expect of Netflix really? "

Lol... I know nothing about her acting skill or lack thereof. With the amount of content being produced these days, basically the production value of everything is less with the exception of the monster budget productions. Diluted pool of acting talent, diluted pool of filmmakers and techs. You can get it cheap, you can get it fast, and you can get it well done. Pick any two.

Diluted pool of acting talent, diluted pool of filmmakers and techs. You can get it cheap, you can get it fast, and you can get it well done. Pick any two. Well, I might being unfair to her as an actor, as soap operas aren't known for their quality of writing, so she may have only had to work with what she was given. People from that show have gone on to do bigger and better things (Missandei in GOT, two of the new companions in Doctor Who, etc), so maybe it's not fair to judge their talent based on Hollyoak's piss-poor quality.
Still, she's definitely not who I'd have picked to play Triss, even factoring in race-blind casting.

Going to recommend The Haunting of Hill House (the 2018 tv show, not the 60s?? movie). Based on the same thing, it's pretty damn awesome especially if you're into creepy scary stuff, and I'm usually not into that, but this show is great.
Definitely give it a go guys.

Just finished season 3. I'm interested to see where they can go now if/when they get a season 4. If they don't get a season 4 that was actually a very good ending to the whole series.

I'm on a Doctor Who re-watch. Christopher Eccleston is still my favorite Doctor, it's sad, that he left so early. I just started season 4 of New Who. Love Donna as a companion (and her granddad of course).
