Good Omens

Crowley (David Tennant) the Demon is given the job of delivering the Antichrist to the hospital, allowing the nurses to swap him out for a newborn.  Though he does his part, he is not keen on the Antichrist's arrival.  He rather likes the world and - despite being a demon - he'd rather have the status quo.  Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) the Angel has been Crowley's rival since the Garden of Eden.  Despite the wishes of Archangel Gabriel (Jon Hamm) to have a final battle between Heaven and Hell, Aziraphale sides with Crowley in trying to prevent Armageddon.  Together, they try to influence the Antichrist as he grows to adolescence.  It is only a few days before Armageddon and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have assembled when they discover they have the wrong boy.  Yes, the nurse switched the wrong baby.  The series is quirky with tongue firmly in cheek.  Ironically, Aziraphale says "I'll be damned" while Crowley says "For Heaven's Sake."  There is a lot of that.  The end of days are surprisingly comedic.
 
Thumbs up!  It is available on Amazon.
