Watched the first two episodes last night and really enjoyed it so far. I'm glad they decided to do it as a miniseries (or a 6-hour movie, as Neil Gaiman has called it). From what I remember from the book, it's been a fairly faithful adaptation. Sheen and Tennant are spot on as Aziraphale and Crowley. I especially liked Michael McKean as Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell and didn't mind his somewhat fluctuating accent because, after all, it's canon:

Mr. Shadwell’s accent was unplaceable. It careered around Britain like a milk race. Here a mad Welsh drill sergeant, there a High Kirk elder who’d just seen someone doing something on a Sunday, somewhere between them a dour Daleland shepherd, or bitter Somerset miser. It didn’t matter where the accent went; it didn’t get any nicer.
