i'm listening to the audiobook for good omens rn and i've always been under the impression that ppl who read the book first were happy with season 1 because from what i heard, the adaption was super close to the book. but now i'm looking through the book omens tag (only found out this existed today and i enjoyed looking at the fanart) and it seems like it's not as universally liked as i thought? for season 2 and even the ending of the season 1 i get why fans of the book may not enjoy it. but from what i've seen, the show characters' personalities were just slightly different enough that some people didn't like them at all.

#i'm definitely extremely biased towards the show bcoz i watched that first #i refuse to actually read the book because of my ocd so i'm listening to the audiobook that has david and michael in it #so duh my image of them in my brain is still the show versions #and i feel conflicted bcoz my reading experience is tainted in a way that i can't tell apart the tonal differences between the two versions #but i rly rly like the actors' performances so i'm just stuck not knowing if i should switch to a different version of the audiobook #just a rant i dun expect ppl to respond to this #good omens #shitpost #edit: oh yea forgot to mention some of the book fans seem rly mean towards show fans and i'm like bruh let's just enjoy what we enjoy
