Dean showed Jerry affection in the sweetest ways. The people who say Dean hated him, well I don't know what to say. These two loved each more than anything, I'm certain of that.

I recommend reading the book. it IS marvellous. It's not perfect and there's bits and bobs that are a product of their time or didn't age well, but none of those diminish the story or characters in any way.

As for the changes.

The overall plot is there, yes, but it's a lot of little things that add up and make things feel odd. Changes to personalities, to the timeframe, the order of events, changes that feel have happened because someone said 'this has to be done to attract a greater audience/make it more appealing to a demographic X/etc or in general 'Hey stop having the main-character (crowley) be a socialist')

Here is an excellent review for s1 I'd recommend reading before.

And to add to the above, things that I noticed and that struck and strike me as off:

The theme changing from being about hope and humanity (humankind and kindness) and how everyone's actions matter, big and small, for better or worse, to yet another 'chosen one' story. Crowley in this is made into yet another (un)holier-than-thou chosen one who can't actually do wrong, no matter how much suffering he's causing/goes through, in the end he's the man(shaped being) with a plan who tells everyone else what to do. It's weird, to say the least.

2. The general change to characters. YMMV but crowley and az had the 'grumpy snarky one (with a good heart) and sunshiny dork who can snark as well' in the book... just that it was a steady flux between the too, with Crowley being much more of a sunshiny dork at time, even if he'd never admit it. He's snarky and cynical, but he's an optimist and he genuinely cares for and likes humanity (a major failing in a demon). This doesn't come across in the show by itself Show Crowley feels more full of disdain and condescension towards humans (and generally everyone else), and looking at the script book, curious ALL scenes that painted him even slightly different than that were left on the cutting room floor. ALL

3. In addition to the theme differing, there's also the tone towards the audience. The book, even as it does have its small flaws, NEVER, and that is part of why it is amazing, It never talks down to the audience. There's never the tone that the authors assumed the audience is dumb. It's always on eye-level. The show... not so much. So many things are spelt out, some several times, as if the show is convinced the audience is too dim to get even the third time round (e.g. explaining the nun's plans, telling the audience how the hellhound works after it was explained twice (?) already at the time, the whole things with the phone-number etc) And that in addition to new scenes that explain noodle-incidents such as 'how did crowley bring down the phone network', 'where did he get holy water from' etc. things that don't need an explanation.

Also, so much exposition speech in general that doesn't really work/isn't necessary in an audio-visual medium.

4. Then there's crowley and az relationship on top of the changes to their personality. In the book they had a great dynamic and chemistry, riling each other up and keeping each other grounded. On the show... az seems demoted down to a naive cheerleader to crowley with no drive of his own. The scene change that shows it best, I think, is the bit on the airfield. Not the handholding, but the bit that follows Beelzebub's 'It is written' when Az inquires if 'The Great Plan' is for certain the same as 'The Ineffable Plan'.

On the show we have Az ask this, the whole thing looking as if crowley's amazingness finally inspired him to grow a spine, and then crowley takes over, saving the whole situation. In the book it's a delightlful doubleact of those two little shits:

“It izz written!” bellowed Beelzebub. “But it might be written differently somewhere else,” said Crowley. “Where you can’t read it.” “In bigger letters,” said Aziraphale. “Underlined,” Crowley added. “Twice,” suggested Aziraphale. “Perhaps this isn’t just a test of the world,” said Crowley. “It might be a test of you people, too. Hmm?” “God does not play games with His loyal servants,” said the Metatron, but in a worried tone of voice. “Whooo-eee,” said Crowley. “Where have you been?”

These two, i swear.

There's a lot of small and big changes that, while overall keeping the general story intact still make it feel... off

Changes that sometimes don't even work, like setting the story from the mid-80s and mid-90s to the late 2010s. It's a change that would require many many more changes than just giving the characters smartphones and tablets. In the book a lot of brilliance stems from how well things make sense because of the timeline. Adam's upbringing, the flow of the story. It even gives little glimpses into who the characters are that aren't directly on page. So, on the show Crowley brings down the mobile network for the entire evening and night, right? affecting a lot of people, and via the script he is gleeful seeing humans in sticky situations not being able to call for help (which, we can fathom, would easily escalate come nightfall). Show crowley often comes across as utterly delighting in human suffering. BOOK crowley bring down the portable phone network for 45 minutes during lunchtime. In the 80s. Meaning that, even though yes, they will take it out on traffic wardens and their secretaries, the group of people he mainly affect are rich businessmen who would otherwise absolutely talked loudly and unpleasantly on their phones while people were just trying to enjoy their lunchbreak. THAT is, by all means the group book crowley seems to love to target: rich people.

It should also be noted that via the script it was planned to show the network going down by having the first person crowley sees outside the building be a businessman with a phone out of the 80s... to then move to show 'nope, we are not in the 80s at all'. why, what was that for? if you are not planning on staying in the time, why pretend to the audience that you are? what? It feels like a screw-you towards the audience again.

There's in general a lot of references to, and bits from the book that don't make much sense anymore due to changes, whether timeframe-wise or others. The ping-pong table with the nuns (who are definitely NOT a chattering order on the show) is a very good example. Or Elvis at the Diner.

It feels all over the place, and one of the worst bits, imho, is crowley rambling about worker's unions when he's getting drunk after the fire.

I have seen people here that try to say that 'oh no it's just crowley being so upset he's fallen and thus can't be with aziraphale'... and no. just no. Not with that wording. That wording was so damn clearly directed and worker's unionising. wth.

This is the general gist of pinprick changes that smell greatly of 'make this more appealing to investors and the market-research', which I doubt is something Mr Gaiman would do unprompted.

There are more, though, like the sheer existence of the other angels and non-book demons on the show and what roll they play narrative-wise. It's another example of thinking the audience dumb.

Also, hold on, Good Omens fandom:

The All-The-Hard-Work-Ruining spoiler came from a thing amzen made for pride month with their shows, right? So someone had to be told where to find stuff for the thing, right? Which means that someone greenlit using that bit. And someone had to approve the trailer.

And we are meant to believe it was 'accidental'?

Y'know, that frame from the last episode of The Owl House THAT was accidental because of youtube's autogeneration for thumbnails picking a spoiler-y frame.

But this?

There is really hardly a chance this was accidental.

you know the cover Ant and Dec did for Attitude magazine “cocks of the north” lol well ages ago I found some screenshots of the interview and they asked them some questions about their sexualities and discussing it and Ant’s answer seemed to be leaning towards bi even though he didn’t say it in so many words. i wish i could find it again (obviously i’m not trying to speculate here it was just an interesting discussion)

(Totally understand the whole not speculating thing fam, let’s put our little queer tin hats on and do a little hypothetical thinking)

Anon you should see my venn diagram of double acts sorted by ‘is the serious one queer or the silly one queer, or is it both/neither?’ (I’m great at parties.)
