Oh, I get it.................This is the bad place.
Been watching this again, it's nice to absorb something positive for a change. Gonna have to find something with the same tone to binge after this
Good luck with that, The Good Place is pretty singular
I've always wanted to watch it and finally got around to it. Great show, wish I didn't sleep on it!
I did a Binge Watch January (totally didn't make this up) and caught up on a half dozen shows. I got some whiplash going from Barry to The Good Place to Severance lol
I'm still surprised and low-key amazed by the writers of The Good Place. Making a show about philosophy, existentialism and theology all mixed together into a great comedy is a feat and they pulled it off really well.
Even when I literally called the "twist" of season 1 from the first episode I enjoyed the walk there and never felt like it was super contrived. They easily could have taken that plot and ran it into the ground.
Honestly I can't think of another show that's dug into some pretty meaty philosophy and made it so much fun!
It's an impressive achievement to pack a primetime sitcom with as much philosophy as it did. Michael Schur is a great comedy writer but I had no idea he was more than that until this show. Apparently Ted Danson and Kristen Bell were the only actors who were told from the start
As for the twist, I thought of it more as a plot point. They were building up to it from the start and rest of the show hinges on it. At the risk of sounding negative, Season 1 was kind of like a long pilot episode to set up the true conflict of the series.
I'm not one to get emotional watching TV or movies but I definitely teared up at the end with Eleanor and Chidi
