I finished watching Good Omens in two days, and I have no regrets. (Honestly, you can never get enough David Tennant, even when he dresses as a demonic nanny with creepily impeccable finger waves.) But DT aside, the forward-thinking fashion standout in Good Omens is Anathema Device.
In an effort to expose myself to more diverse animation and stories, gen:LOCK quickly jumped to the top of my queue. At first glance, the series doesn’t look like something I would typically be drawn to. Military/war centric stories generally tend to be hard for me to keep up with, and usually don’t hold my attention for very long. However, after learning more about the series, I realized it checked off a lot of boxes.
The show is a high concept sci-fi fantasy, set in a futuristic dystopian society with advanced nanotechnology, mind transfers/mindsharing, and high tech mecha designs. The show also features a cast of diverse characters forced to team up and save the world. I mean, that’s a tale as old as time.
“What age should my son be before I show him to Doctor Who?” “My daughter is 6, she’s ready for Harry Potter, right?”
I’ve attended and participated in numerous “Introducing Kids to Fandom” & “Parenting Geeks” panels at conventions that have featured child psychologists, educators, religious figures, writers, and other stay-at-home parents. The one definitive thing I’ve learned is that everyone has an equally strong, but wildly varying opinion on these types of questions.
