I made the original comment that this secret was made from and actually I liked Aziraphale and Crowley, I thought they were great. It's the entire rest of the cast I thought Gaiman did a huge disservice to. I basically forgot Newt and Anathema existed halfway through the story and the Them were pretty much cardboard cutouts. The latter in particular I think just gutted the show, because it felt like the Them were afterthoughts and all their great moments fell flat to me. If this show was 'The Gay Adventures of Aziraphale and Crowley' I would have loved it, but as Good Omens I thought it lost almost all the heart that made me love the book and I wish someone else had written the script (or that Pratchett was still alive to rein in Gaiman's bad habits).

(And if I'm feeling particularly uncharitable, part of me also feels like Gaiman gave in to 'what the fans want' and basically made it the Gay Adventures of Aziraphale and Crowley, not caring that doing so meant everyone not Azirapale and Crowley would get the shaft but hey, who cares, the fangirls are happy.)

Idk, the book has all the characters pretty well written, and yet, it remains in memory mostly as the (not actually _that_ gay) adventures of Aziraphale and Crowley, even for those who aren't remotely into slash. They are not plot-relevant, there aren't more scenes with them in the book than with all the rest of the characters, but they are the most memorable. Which is why, I think Gaiman decided to concentrate on them, rather than all the characters in the same time. People (not just fangirls) would've remembered Aziraphale and Crowley best in the show, anyway.
Saying that, I do agree that Adam and the Them could've been done better.
