Also, while we're here, should we be combining Good Omens TV and books if both are nominated or are there significant differences to the new show?

While I wouldn't be fussed either way, I only picked the TV version because gender-presentation-and-play is a lot more present in the show. It's not uncanonical in the book?

Any other GO fans want to weigh in?
