Bad Omens or the insane unfortunate ravings of a mad chicken
Bad Omens or the Insane Unfortunate Ravings of a Mad Chicken
When the coroner receives a letter addressed to “Death,” and his son gets one for “The Antichrist,” you know it’s going to be one hell of a day. Add a masked chicken rewriting Good Omens, aliens mistaking Trump for Earth’s emperor, and a teenage Enchantress crying over a lost book of fate—and you’ve got an apocalypse powered by bureaucracy, bad timing, and poultry.
🐔 Join Blake Alexander, King of the Grim Reapers, as he races through time to stop the end of the world triggered by a confused chicken with literary ambitions. With help from his son Tempus, the Timekeeper, and granddaughter Kristine, the Enchantress, Blake must reclaim the book that can rewrite reality before it’s too late.
📖 A cosmic comedy of errors where fate is fragile, death is diplomatic, and the apocalypse might just be a publishing mistake.

01:03:21||Season 1, Ep. 913(Think: a troubadour with lute, steady rhythm, rising heroic refrain)**“Hear now the tale of the Fox in the night,A shadow of justice, a rider in flight.From Sherwood’s deep silence to court’s golden flame,He battles a tyrant who curses his name.Blake de Clare, the knight who would not die,Who rose from the grave ’neath a star‑burning sky.His lady imprisoned, his honour betrayed,He rides for rebellion the Marshal has made.Oh gather, good people, and lend us your ear,For the Fox walks the moonlight when danger draws near.A mask in the darkness, a vow in his chest—This is the Night Fox… the legend begins its quest.”**(Lute flourish, drums rising, fade into narration.)
