Edit/update: I do like the show more, and that's made me want to bump my review of the book up to 4 stars?? But I'm not going to because that seems silly. But I'd maybe recommend watching the show and then reading the book. A fair amount is different, and maybe it'll make the show harder to understand (?), but I think doing things in that order would have made me enjoy the book more. I like the show and am excited for the second season, but I also don't like it enough to want to reread the book haha.

It was adapted to TV series (with season 2 confirmed now!) so you definitely should check that out. It’s very close to the book, so if you can, I would suggest watching first. To me, I would have found it hard to understand some bits in the book if I didn’t watch Good Omens first (but I’m not native speaker, so take it with a grain of salt).
