How Come Netflix Attempted To Cancel Good Omens?

Over 20,000 people have signed a petition asking Netflix to cancel Neil Gaiman’s apocalyptic comedy Good Omens, citing concerns about the portrayal of angels and demons, a female God, and other blasphemous spins on classic Bible stories. Netflix responded to the petition, which was mistakenly sent to Netflix, despite the series being distributed by Amazon Prime. The Return to Order sect, a US Christian group, claims that the show normalizes Satanism and “mocks God’s wisdom”.

Netflix responded to the petition, which initially urged the streaming service to cancel “blasphemous” TV show Good Omens, despite the fact it is available on Amazon Prime. The Return to Order sect argue that the show normalizes Satanism and “mocks God’s wisdom”. The US Christian group that once protested a “blasphemous” ice cream company now demands that Netflix ax Good Omens.

The Return to Order sect claims that the show, about a demon and angel uniting to stop Armageddon, normalizes Satanism and “mocks God’s wisdom”. Both streaming services got the last laugh on Twitter in response to a petition asking Netflix to remove the Amazon Prime show Good Omens. The error became a moment of levity, as the protest group will now focus on addressing the issue of the show’s portrayal of angels and demons, a female God, and other blasphemous spins on classic Bible stories.
