The Good Place

2016 | Comedy | Drama

When Eleanor Shellstrop finds herself in the afterlife, she's both relieved and surprised that she's made it into the Good Place. But it doesn't take long for Eleanor to realize she's there by mistake. She hides in plain sight from the Good Place's architect Michael and his all-knowing assistant Janet. Her seemingly perfect neighbors Tahani and Jianyu and open-hearted soul mate Chidi help her realize that it's never too late. With the help of her new friends -- and a few enemies -- Eleanor becomes determined to shed her old way of life in hopes of discovering a new one in the afterlife.

Does exactly what it says on the.... Title
This is an easy 23min watch. It's funny and entertaining and it just gets better. Love all the characters for their flaws rather than in spite of them. After the first season finished, I wasn't sure where they would take it, but never disappointed to have it back on my screen. It's light-hearted, easy watching and entertaining and doesn't claim to be anything else. If you expect to much from it, I doubt you'll enjoy it. Take it for what it is, a quick fix of laughter to brighten your day. Highly recommended for filling the time between getting home from work and starting dinner. Enjoy!

Welcome! Everything is fine.
Netflix original afterlife comedy starring Ted Danson (who even gets behind a bar in one episode!) and Kristen Bell, that both makes you think and chuckle during each episode.

I can't think of a single other thing even remotely like it.

It even ends perfectly (if sadly).

Such a great concept
Love this, very easy to watch and funny in a number of different ways. Some great concepts - I really hope this is what happens when we die. Felt that it dragged a little bit towards the end of the season.

The Good Place is a fun, silly and surreal sit-com about redemption. It is set in an after life where only good people go. But the main character is not a particularly good person and realises she doesn't belong there. This realisation takes her on a journey of self-improvement so can stay in The Good Place. However there is a mind-blowing twist at the end of season one that changes everything. It's a rare thing to have a thought provoking sitcom.
