That was simply amazing!

We watched Good Omens last night, start to finish, and it was outstanding. Faithful to the book when it could be (which was 80% of the time) and faithful to the spirit when it couldn't. The entire cast turned in a spectacular performance, but I think Michael Sheen was the shining star.

I'll post later with more thoughts, but for now, a non-spoilerific question for anyone who might know the (possible pop-culture) reference:


The license plate on Crowley's Bentley was "NIATRUC", which is "curtain" backwards. Anyone know what this means or what it is a reference to? Thanks!

"The license plate of Crowley's Bentley is 'Curtain' backwards," Gaiman said, because of the writing on the mausoleum in the suicidal leaves section of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. "Curtain backwards, like it's the final curtain," [director Douglas] Mackinnon explained.
