I was surprised at just how well the adaptation worked. Helped by pitch perfect casting. I just cannot imagine anyone else as Crowley and Aziraphael and Jon Hamm was an inspired choice as the face of heaven's management.
Despite some changes (Hamm's character has a much bigger role in the show for instance) It feels so true to the source material in terms of atmosphere and quirkiness - I am delighted.
The book has a very special place in my heart so I was a little worried when I first heard there was to be an adaptation
