    Entertaining enough to drag me into binge-watching

    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?

    A feel good show with a stronger message underneath

    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.

    Such a fun and original show

    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.

    A very special show with a very beautiful ending

    The Good Place isn't the best comedy show, but it might be the most creative and thought-provoking. It's very special.

    Take it sleazy

    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.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      On January 4, 2019, a video appeared on The Good Place YouTube feed entitled "Janet's Void: What Actually Happens When * BING *". It consists of five hours of Janet standing around in her void, occasionally disappearing. You Tube commentators soon noticed that her disappearances were about 22 minutes long, the length of an episode.
    • Goofs
      The 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.

      In Everything Is Fine (2016) he says that he is multilingual. He grew up in Senegal, but also lived in Paris and Sydney.
