The Good Place

I'm actually surprised by how much I ended up liking The Good Place. I gave it a chance while looking for a comedy to have on in the background while I do other things but ended up glued to my tv binging through all 4 seasons as fast as I could. I've heard nothing but great things about this show for the longest time, read all the great reviews, saw it has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and that it was nominated for a ton of awards, including a bunch of Emmy nominations, but yet I still put off watching it for some reason. I think it's because I enjoy other types of shows over comedy and was always involved watching other shows I just ended up forgetting about this one. My mistake because I ended up loving this one. It has an incredible cast led by the legendary Ted Danson and Kristen Bell. The supporting cast is just as good and wouldn't be nearly as good without them.

I thought this would be boring, but watched the pilot... then the second episode... then the third... fourth... fifth... sixth... seventh... and came full-stop only because those are the only episodes I could watch now On Demand.

Smart, funny, and thoughtful, with diverse characters and a quirky premise. Fun to see Ted Danson in a comedy again, too.

Not the usual, run-of-the-mill comedy, but also not just an off-the-rail-whatever show. Always seems to be an ethical point made.

I especially like the "Welcome" movie. Wondering about MY score.

Hey, Janet?

I know true perfection doesn't really exist and that every show has it's flaws, but with The Good Place I just can't think of what they would be.

The Good Place is a fantastic show that I will forever remember fondly and to anyone reading this I hope you give the show a chance and watch it through.

Take it sleazy.

The Good Place has left an indelible mark on me, and I believe it has the potential to do the same for others. This series is more than just entertainment; it's a catalyst for thoughtful introspection.

The language used in The Good Place was remarkably accessible, even for someone like me who is not a native speaker. This made it easy to immerse myself in the story and connect with the characters on a deeper level.

Beyond the engaging plot and well-developed characters, The Good Place has inspired me to be more mindful and considerate of others. Each episode presents thought-provoking themes that encourage us to examine our own biases and perspectives. By engaging with these ideas, we can grow as individuals and become more compassionate members of society.

The Good Place is such a fun and original show that I promise you'll have a good time while watching. It stars Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) in the afterlife called the Good Place. She's so relieved to be there but quickly finds out that's she there by accident. She does her best to hide from the man in charge Micheal (Ted Danson) and his all knowing assistant, Janet (D'Arcy Cardon). She meets her soul mate, Chidi (William Jackson Harper), while there and her seemingly perfect neighbors Tahani (Jameela Jamil) and Jason ( Manny Jacinto) and figures out that it's not too late too change and prove she does belongs there. The cast is brilliant as is the writing. If you're looking for a great comedy to kill some time with then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.
