Petition calls on Netflix to cancel Amazon Prime's 'blasphemous' Good Omens
The petition started by a Christian group has surpassed its goal of 15,000 signatures.
- She received the Renau Writing Scholarship in 2016 from the University of Louisville's communication department.
The group behind the petition had a list of issues with the show.
More than 20,000 people have signed a petition demanding the series Good Omens be removed from Netflix . The trouble is the show is streamed on Amazon Prime .
The petition, which has surpassed its original goal of 15,000 signatures, calls the show a mockery of religion for depicting "God as a tyrant and the Devil as being good." The Christian group behind the campaign found an issue with other aspects of the show -- God being voiced by a woman, the portrayal of the Antichrist as a normal kid, the four riders of the apocalypse as a biker gang and more.
That group, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, didn't immediately respond for comment.
Good Omens, an adaptation of the 1990 comic fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, is a six-episode miniseries on Amazon Prime. The show stars David Tennant as the demon Crowley and Michael Sheen as the angel Aziraphale.
Amazon and Netflix didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
