Good Omens
2019–2026Amazon Prime VideoBBC TwoComedy
An angel and a demon who have both grown too fond of England to let it end, from Pratchett and Gaiman.
Good Omens rebuilt its titles: two distinct opening sequences are catalogued here across seasons 1–2, running between 98 and 104 seconds.
At 104 seconds at its longest, it opens well above the 38-second median for comedy sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on Amazon Prime Video in 2019, when Talking Heads, Mock the Week and Inside No. 9 were also on the network.
Only 139 of the 2,618 shows catalogued here changed their titles at all; Good Omens did so once.
