I agree on Anathema. She is well played. The actress is great and and she is an important character, but she is focused on the prophecies and arrogant with it and her "romance" with Newt has a little bit a problem: Is she consenting or is she being a groomed good decendant and has sex with him, because it is written down by Agnes. I love the ending, where she chooses to begin to live on her own and burns the second book of accurate prophecies.

Going to be listy myself. Agreed about a lot of them, including 100% Newt, Pepper, and Anathema- liked your take. Pepper being the best kid actor, I agree. I also want to like Anathema more than I do. I love Dog as a character, but the actor shouldn't be in S tier after biting David, which while making for an amusing story after the fact is frankly both unkind and unprofessional. It's hard to rank them low because so many of the characters overall are great. I'd probably have put Gabriel up higher for his iconic line but it's hard to brush off the S2 effect, and I know I didn't feel the same before. I also feel like ranking Wensleydale higher because he makes me remember when I worked for the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

The best example is the Newt and Anathema "sexy time" scene. Was it supposed to be funny or cute?

Ha! I thought it was funny how often you dismissed Brian. He's a sweet kid, but I agree he's the most boring of the Them. I don't think I would put Newt quite so low, but I do wish he'd had a bit more charisma or something to him. He just felt like the embodiment of an old-school insecure "chosen one" played a little too straight to be particularly funny. And then out of nowhere at the end he's like, "Have you ever considered defying destiny, Anathema?" I would have liked to see more buildup to that wisdom. One note though, Ligur is meant to be pronounced Lee-grr. Normally I wouldn't be picky about pronunciation, but as he's portrayed by a black actor and Lig-er is really close to the n-word it seems important. Obviously you weren't intending to say anything racist or even close to it, but I thought you'd like to know.

I agree with you on Gabriel --- he may be awful, but as a character he's quite juicy and I have to imagine he's really fun to play. He's the classic sh*tty boss to a comical degree, but when he crosses that line into danger and malice, you really feel that. It's never ham-fisted or unintentionally funny. Season 1 is interesting because there are few characters I feel very passionate about. I reread the book this year after only having read it once in like 2014, and I will say it gave me a better appreciation of Adam and his friends. The book felt like it focused on them more, and the additional detail made it easier for me to connect with them, I suppose. Maybe it's also a matter of the book being more Adam's story, while the series pushes Aziraphale and Crowley to the forefront.

I totally get what said about Anathema. She has great style, seems very knowledgeable, is definitely passionate, but she just doesn't have any personal agency and that really bothers me. It's one thing to know that completely accurate prophecies exist and consult them when you don't know what to do, but it's almost pathetic to never make your own decisions without consulting a book written 350 years ago. Having said that, I think she's a totally believable and important character! Thanks for the video!

I agree with your ranking generally, although I think my S tier would be Peppa and the chattering nuns. I love Death in the Terry Pratchett novels, but I think in GO he gets less page/screen time so he isn't so compelling. I can see why a lot of these characters were dropped for S2 and I think Neil Gaiman made the right decision there - they were necessary for the S1 story but not relevant to S2. Also it meant we got more of A&C which is always a win! I would not be surprised or particularly disappointed if none of the human characters get included in S3. I feel like their stories have been told. What do you think?

That's an interesting point, perhaps their stories have been told. I think considering the heaven and hell vs humanity theme, we will probably see humans back to team up in same way.

Hmm. Without meaning to be controversial - I think the child actors who play Adam & friends - are all at best 'average' - and for me - the weakest part of the TV adaptation. I think many fans think better of them simply because of how good they are in the book - and they are critical to the plot. It's not the writing - I just don't think they are very good actors. --- always a risk in the TV/Film industry - films & franchises have toppled and burnt all on the casting of a child actor. Luckily the rest of the show is so good - I can cope! Season 2 benefits from no Adam... ;-)

Honestly, I don't think that is terribly controversial. None of the child actors are bad, but none of them are great, like Haley Joel Osmond level. I agree, child actors can detract from a show, and I am probably carrying over my feeling about them from the book when I rank them. It's hard to separate media that way. It might be a good explanation as to why the adult characters get so much more screen time than book time, they just translate to the TV adaptation so much better with such fantastic actors!

Hastur is definitely A (or even S) for me. I put Death down at B. Madame Tracy goes to S. Dog is S. God is S. (I'll have more Ssss than you, lol!). Gabriel goes to B, only because I know that in S2 he redeems himself big time and Ham's an excellent actor, otherwise he'd be kicked down to D (or lower). Newt goes to B. R.P. Tyler is either A or S because he's a hoot. Shadwell is A because he's secretly in love with Madame Tracy and protects her and McKean (yeah for Lenny!) is excellent! The rest I'll have to think through. The reason you might be put off by Anathema is probably because the character is a little off-putting...kinda cold and intellectually superior. What I'm waiting for is how you're going to rank Azi and Crowley. Are they going to be on the S tier (they better be!)? But which one first? Or are you going to go by alphabetical order, lol!
