Good Omens - Ranking Every Episode Worst To Best
1. Episode Three - Hard Times
As episode two suffered due to less Aziraphale and Crowley, episode three is the complete opposite. Over the first two episodes we get to know the two quite well, but Hard Times takes us through their entire history, from their first meeting since the Garden of Eden, to being reluctant BFFs in Soho in 1967.
Michael Sheen and David Tennant are two incredible actors, and their chemistry on screen is obvious right from the start. Over the first 28 minutes of the episode, Aziraphale and Crowley meet each other no fewer than nine different times throughout history, and it is so captivating that it is actually a disappointment when the episode goes elsewhere after the opening credits finally roll.
We see the two grow closer and closer and are shown that, although they are an angel and a demon and should by definition be polar opposites, they are more similar than would be first imagined. This is the entire point of their relationship, so this sequence is not only extremely entertaining, it is also very important.
The episode closes with what is possibly Michael Sheen's greatest moment in the whole series. Torn between his instincts of what he believes to be right and what he has been taught he is supposed to do, Aziraphale's internal struggle finally bubbles over in what is a heartbreaking scene between him and his friend.
