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.
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?
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 isn't the best comedy show, but it might be the most creative and thought-provoking. It's very special.
I love this show. It's a feel good comedy that's lighthearted and will make you laugh while still trying to get some good life lessons across. You also don't need to search to find the deeper meaning in the show, its made blatantly obvious, but its not heavy.
Kristen Bell is quirky and lovable in this, and the rest of the cast is an odd blend of characters that just mix so well together. The acting and writing is phenomenal and the production is bright and cheerful and pleasant to watch.
NBC is winning this season with new shows.
I definitely recommend it.

It consists of five hours of Janet standing around in her void, occasionally disappearing.

- GoofsThe first time Eleanor and Chidi meet, Chidi claims that he is speaking French but the Good Place translates it into a language Eleanor understands. Yet in flashbacks on Earth he is seen speaking and writing in English.
