Netflix had the best response for the Christian group petitioning it to cancel Amazon’s Good Omens
You will probably have seen by now how more than 20,000 Christians signed a petition calling on Netflix to cancel Good Omens, the TV series based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s 1990 fantasy novel.
The US Christian group, Return to Order, which organised the petition, say Good Omens is ‘another step to make Satanism appear normal, light and acceptable’ and a ‘denial of Good and Evil’.
I love that they are going to write to Netflix to try and get #GoodOmens cancelled. Says it all really. https://t.co/8WNxCY1YmV

There’s only one small problem – Good Omens isn’t a Netflix show, it’s on Amazon Prime.
They’ve since corrected themselves by doing this on their website.

But not before Netflix did this.
ok we promise not to make any more https://t.co/TRPux36kcX

And then Amazon got involved.
Best thing we’ve seen on Netflix this week.

Not everyone got the joke though.
The human race is cancelled, the amount of people not getting the joke makes me want to leave earth. pic.twitter.com/XRMQsgYEDc

But Netflix was kind enough to help people out.
Ohh nooo. The fanatics are winning the game, how come? This is entertainment, and a point of view, c’mon. that’s horrible to demand, please give the option to your subscribers to see this show. Made some “firewall” or whatever. Please.

…it’s not our show.

And here’s what the show’s director had to say.
@neilhimself We love you Netflix. Amazon @GoodOmensPrime is our first love, but we love you as well.
