Controversies
- In 2019, the Good Omens novel by Neil Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett was adapted into a television series. This series was written by Neil Gaiman himself and can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Before its release, a group of 20,000 Christians petitioned to stop the show from streaming on Netflix due to its apparent normalization of satanism and the light-hearted manner in which the show treats religion. However, the petition fell flat as the show is an Amazon Prime original, and therefore is only available on Amazon Prime--not Netflix. [1]
