“Good Omens” is about the coming of the End Times; the Apocalypse is near and Final Judgement will soon descend upon humans.

They have become good friends and have decided to work together and keep an eye on the Antichrist. He is destined to be the son of a prominent American diplomat stationed in Britain and their plan is to make sure he grows up unable to decide between Good and Evil, therefore postponing the end of the world.
