History Series / GoodOmens2019

* [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Crowley corrects Nina when she assumes he and Aziraphale are dating.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Crowley and Aziraphale are constantly taken as a couple. Uriel calls Crowley Aziraphale's "boyfriend in the dark glasses." After a public argument outside the bookshop, after which Crowley drives off angrily, a passerby comforts the angel by saying, "I've been there. You're better off without him," clearly believing he's just witnessed a lovers' quarrel. Nina the coffeeshop owner asks Crowley how long he and Aziraphale have been together, even going so far to ask if Crowley's married and having a secret affair with the angel, seeming unable to conceive that what's between the two is platonic. [[spoiler:In the last episode of season 2, Nina and Maggie sit Crowley down and tell him that it's obvious he and Aziraphale have feelings for each other and that Crowley should tell him the truth.]]

* ForcefulKiss: Crowley performs one on [[spoiler: on Aziraphale, grabbing him by the lapels and holding him in place. The angel briefly reciprocates but ultimately rejects him.]]

* DatingCatwoman: Their relationship goes beyond human conventions of [[OtherworldlyAndSexuallyAmbiguous dating]], but Aziraphale and Crowley have to hide their attachment to each other as they're trapped on opposite sides of an eternal cosmic war. [[spoiler:By the end of the series they've declared they're on their own side and support each other openly.]]

-->'''Crowley:''' Get humans wet and staring into each other's eyes, va-voom! Sorted.
** Promotional art for the [[https://www.themarysue.com/good-omens-season-2-reactions/ announcement of season 2]] feature Crowley and Aziraphale sharing an UmbrellaOfTogetherness.

* RescueRomance: When Nina asks Aziraphale why he appears to be waiting for Crowley to come back rather than making his own plans to save them while his bookshop is being attacked, Aziraphale smiles and responds that he ''is'' making plans, but that [[DistressedDude rescuing him]] makes [[KnightInShiningArmor Crowley]] happy.]]

* PseudoRomanticFriendship: Even more so than in the book, Crowley and Aziraphale's relationship is consistently framed using romantic tropes and imagery. However, they only refer to each other as "best friends", and never do anything we would consider unambiguously romantic, such as kissing or holding hands. [[spoiler:Until [[TheBigDamnKiss the final episode of Series 2.]]]]

** Pepper, a freckled redhead in the book, is now black.

* RelationshipUpgrade: In Season 1, the nature of Crowley's and Aziraphale's relationship is more of an AmbiguousSituation that they both seem to perceive as a friendship (and even that much rather inconsistently on Aziraphale's side). [[spoiler:As of Season 2, the two are explicitly romantic towards one another, with the season ending with a BigDamnKiss and, unfortunately, a wrenching breakup.]]

* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:When Nina asks Aziraphale why he appears to be waiting for Crowley to come back rather than making his own plans to save them while his bookshop is being attacked, Aziraphale smiles and responds that he ''is'' making plans, but that [[DistressedDude rescuing him]] makes [[KnightInShiningArmor Crowley]] happy.]]

** The series keeps to Pepper's mother having conceived (and named) her while she was a member of a traditional hippy commune. It was already stretching it in the book when she was born in 1979, but it becomes this trope when the story now takes place in 2019 and Pepper thus has to have been born in 2008. Especially glaring, as the series cuts to very grainy footage of said commune such as you'd expect from an early camcorder. Of course, hippie communes ''do''’ still exist, although nowadays they're usually called intentional communities.

** While sorting books in Aziraphale's library by the first leter of the first sentence in them, Gabriel reads the first page of ''Literature/GoodOmens''.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: After the three Nazis killed by the bomb during the London Blitz in 1941 are brought down to Hell, they're processed by a demon named Furfur. When he learns that their demise was caused by Crowley and a certain "Mr. Fell," whom Furfur assumes to be an angel, he gives all three the chance to return to life as zombies for 24 hours in order to find proof that Crowley is up to some good, so that Furfur can move in the demonic hierarchy. They accept when they learn that the alternative for Nazis is to be eternally devoured, digested, and crapped out by a giant spider. They return to the bombed-out church and eat a homeless man's brain to sustain themselves.

* {{Metatron}}: His role from the original book [[DemotedToExtra is reduced here]], with Gabriel appearing at the base instead, but he still appears when Aziraphale tries to speak to God, where he confirms to Aziraphale that the angels indeed want Armageddon to begin. He claims to be the means through which beings speak to God, but his role is compared to the Presidential spokesperson.

* TheMatchmaker: After Aziraphale and Crowley accidentally set off miracle alarms in Heaven, and Michael comes down to ask what miracle Aziraphale has performed, he (recalling an earlier conversation with Maggie) says that he used a miracle to get Maggie and Nina to fall in love. Michael accepts his explanation, but Heaven still sends a junior angel to verify it. So now Aziraphale and Crowley have to play matchmaker and get the two women together without miracles. While Maggie has fallen for Nina, Nina has a partner and doesn't seem interested. Crowley tries to cause rain to get them to run under an awning, and it starts to work, but then the awning tears, drenching both women. Instead, Aziraphale agrees to host the annual meeting of local business owners and sets it up like a ball from a Creator/JaneAusten novel. It just so happens that Nina's partner breaks up with her, so they both end up at the meeting and start dancing.

* DemotedToExtra: Metatron is the only angel other than Aziraphale that we see in the book. He appears in the final confrontation at the end as well as the scene where Aziraphale uses the Solomonic circle to communicate with "a Higher Authority" in the bookshop earlier on. However, since Gabriel, Michael, Uriel, and Sandalphon (Metatron's twin) were added to the series, with Gabriel acting as the CEO of Heaven's forces, the impact of Metatron on the story during the bookshop scene is lessened from what it was in the novel, and it is Gabriel that appears in the climactic confrontation at Tadfield Air Base at the end instead.

* BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: The demons often speak this way, using such figures of speech as "for Satan's sake" and "bless it" instead of "damn it". At one point, Ligur tells Hastur that he thinks Crowley is up to no good. Hastur shrugs and says that's all right, he's a demon, he's supposed to be up to no good. Ligur then has to clarify he means Crowley is up to "no bad" before Hastur gets the message. Crowley himself will often say "what the heaven" instead of "what the hell".
