Christian Group Wants new Series “Good Omens” to be Canceled
By Arkady Petrov
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – In “Good Omens”, a series inspired by a book published by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman in 1990, an angel and a demon used to living among humans come together to prevent the arrival of the Antichrist and the end of the world.
The six-episode comedy, adapted for TV by Gaiman himself, did not please the Christian group “Return to Order”, which set up a petition asking Netflix to cancel the program. The series, however, is featured on Amazon Prime.
With over 20,000 signatures, the petition argues that “the series depicts demons and Satanists as normal and even good people.”
Also, it denounces the program for “mocking God” by placing an angel and a demon as “good friends”, “God with a woman’s voice”, and showing “the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, God’s way of punishing sins on Earth, as a group of bikers”.
“I love the fact that they’re going to write to Netflix trying to cancel “Good Omens”. It says it all, actually,” Gaiman said on Twitter.
I love that they are going to write to Netflix to try and get #GoodOmens cancelled. Says it all really. https://t.co/8WNxCY1YmV
