"The Eventuality of Destiny" (1927) by Giorgio de Chirico

In the years following World War I, artists across Europe sought to put the disruptions of war behind them. Searching for a new artistic vocabulary, they moved away from the fragmented forms of prewar Cubism and looked to the classical tradition, forging what was known as the “return to order.” This new style had many sources of inspiration, including the art of ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, and even later Neoclassical revivals. Giorgio de Chirico was likewise attracted to the idea of classicism; his The Eventuality of Destiny is in part the result of his study of the works and techniques of the Old Masters.

Thousands petition Netflix to cancel Amazon Prime's Good Omens

US Christian group condemns Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s story as ‘making satanism appear normal’ – but petition wrong company

Christians marshalled by the Return to Order campaign, an offshoot of the US Foundation for a Christian Civilisation.

More than 20,000 supporters have signed a petition in which they say that Good Omens is “another step to make satanism appear normal, light and acceptable”, and “mocks God’s wisdom”. God, they complain, is “voiced by a woman” – Frances McDormand – the antichrist is a “normal kid” and, most importantly, “this type of video makes light of Truth, Error, Good and Evil, and destroys the barriers of horror that society still has for the devil”. They are calling on Netflix to cancel the show.

Gaiman responded to the petition on Twitter, writing: “I love that they are going to write to Netflix to try and get #GoodOmens cancelled. Says it all really. This is so beautiful ... Promise me you won’t tell them?”

The publisher and science fiction critic Cheryl Morgan tweeted: “Miraculously God has already done it. Don’t tell them She put it on Amazon instead.”

Return to Order is based on the writings of the author John Horvat II. It “calls upon Americans to put principles into actions by working toward what is called an organic Christian society”. Another of its petitions in April called on Walmart to “stop selling Satanic products” following a 2018 protest against a “blasphemous ice cream chain called Sweet Jesus”.

Thousands petition Netflix to cancel Amazon Prime's Good Omens

US Christian group condemns Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s story as ‘making satanism appear normal’ – but petition wrong company

The primary purpose of the group “Return to Order” appears to be absurd protests supposedly in the name of Christianity. The group sees the hand of Satan in the most innocuous places. Last year, they called on Walmart to “stop selling Satanic products” following a protest against a “blasphemous ice cream chain called Sweet Jesus.”

This year, the group has targeted Netflix for airing the miniseries Good Omens (which, by the way, is excellent). Return to Order’s complaint:

“Good Omens is ‘another step to make satanism appear normal, light and acceptable’, and ‘mocks God’s wisdom’. God, they complain, is ‘voiced by a woman’ – Frances McDormand – the antichrist is a ‘normal kid’ and, most importantly, ‘this type of video makes light of Truth, Error, Good and Evil, and destroys the barriers of horror that society still has for the devil’.”

Over 20,000 angry fanatics signed the petition demanding that Netflix stop streaming Good Omens. Just one minor problem: Netflix isn’t streaming Good Omens. It’s on Amazon Prime.

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett co-authored the book Good Omens, upon which the miniseries is based. Pratchett died in 2015, unfortunately, but when Gaiman learned of the petition he responded:

“This is so beautiful... Promise me you won’t tell them?”

(Alas, someone told them, and they fixed it.)
