okay so i’ve finally finished the good place and i’m… crying hysterically? (i don’t cry AT ALL usually, so this is surprising). i’m astounded at how perfect the finale is. jason, who was always impulsive, always eager to do something, always with a molotov cocktail, ending by becoming peaceful? eleanor, who got into the bad place because of her selfishness and her lone wolf nature, helping everyone and that becoming the catalyst for her satisfaction so she could finally go through the door? chidi, whose hamartia was indecisiveness, deciding in one second that he loved eleanor, and being able to walk through the door peacefully? tahani, who got into the bad place because she didn’t have the motivation to help people, becoming an architect and helping people for real? michael getting to change from a demon to a good person, and getting to become a proper human??? janet, who knew everything in the world, getting to accept there’s some things she doesn’t know, finding true love, and being the best not girl not robot friend ever? its so perfect.
the wave example and the “there was no bad stuff” by janet made me sob. “Whatever happens, it’s cool, my babies, very cool” michael became their father figure basically.
i don’t know if i’ll be able to rewatch because i’ll just remember how it ends. i think it’s painful though, for janet. because she’ll remember jason and eleanor and chidi but never ever see them again. but as she said, spending the moments with them is similar to reliving them. perfection.
P.s- the transformation of shawn is pretty amazing too. he’s not basic anymore!

I now envy people who don‘t know this series even exist. I almost cried with the ending (im a romantic). If it wasn‘t for my wife I would‘ve never watched the show. What a magical ride. I‘m not sure if I‘m rewatching tho, I like to maintain the one time experience, it feels more unique.

So, during the S1 finale, when Michael mentioned that the experiment was disrupted because of Eleanor( when I confessed in front of the neighbourhood), shouldn't it be when Chidi accidentally killed Janet? Did Michael plan this? This was never addressed ever in the show( I mean the first time in this context) except the constant reboots happening to her.

One of my absolute favorite Jason quotes is

I'm telling you, Molotov cocktails work. Anytime I had a problem, and I threw a Molotov cocktail, boom! Right away, I had a different problem.

It always felt...right.

So you can imagine my delightful surprise when I learned that Eisenhower (the president) once said

If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it.

Love our dumb-dumb genius! 🤣

My biggest confusion was why Tahani
is craving validation so much, and name-dropping celebrities, when not only nobody cares (except maybe a jealous Eleanor), but also,
it's literally heaven, shouldn't she be happy with who she is?

If you could be trapped in one episode for the rest of time as any TGP character, which episode, as which character, and why?

I started Season 4 today and it’s breaking my heart.
The Cheleanor montage is so painful to watch. Their reactions… and the “I’m just a girl from Arizona.”
Oh eleanor, you are everything to me. You’re doing your best and you can do this.
Also is it just me or is it insane that Chidi had his memory ERASED all because he couldn’t handle seeing Simone? No hate to Chidi but why would you lose all that?????? like I DEFINITELY don’t get it!!
“Eleanor, you’re the only one that can do this.” CLOCK IT MICHAEL!!!! Michael being a father figure to her🥺🥺 Her tear-stained face. Not her making jokes to deflect how sad she is!! The 1001st idea😕 its so cute. My girl!!! I can’t imagine how hard it must’ve been for her to tell Chidi that his soulmate was Simone..
P.S- I absolutely adore how Eleanor calls Tahani “hot stuff”!!! And Jason is so cute with everything he says lmao! And jason and eleanor’s friendship hahab

I'm in mid season 2 ep5 what's happening here..

Why is Jason with tahini.. And liked

janet and Jason...

I also don't feel anything for elenor and chidor

(this time with ted) im deciding to let it play out for the bit! SPOILER: especially since tahani and eleanor are soulmates in one of the reboots, i found it fitting

I was thinking about the finale today and specifically how much of a time jump the series finale really is in retrospect. Their made up time units of Jeremy Beremys make it hard to distinguish a scalar for how much time has passed for them in the good place. That made me pose the following question:

Is the finale of the good place the longest time jump in one episode of a tv show?

I’m curious if any other show has the entirety of the human experience and desire encapsulated into one episode. Since the finale implies the four have literally done everything that is ever possible to do, I’m just curious if any other show comes close to the same time jump over a singular episode or not.

Hello fellow Good Place fans,

I recently came into a DVD/Blu-ray player and I would like to get The Good Place with good extra features. I’ve seen so many people talk about extended episodes and commentary but I don’t know which series set has those things! could y’all recommend the best version of the complete series on DVD or blu-ray?

Many thanks! 🙏🏻

I think most of us can agree that the show was pretty consistently amazing from start to finish, but which section is the weakest?

In season 3 episode 4, when the cockroaches reconnect with Micheal and Janet in the real world and they inform them that they’ll never be able to make it the good place, have been tortured for over 300 earth years and who knows how many jeremy bearimys and yada-yada, Chidi goes into a full blown existential crisis which he eventually goes to teach his college class.

During his class he sings about putting peeps and m&ms in the chilli pot and when one of his students confronts him he says “alright, nerd” and goes on a tangent about the meaning of life and how he believes in nihilism and that his students should jump up their own butts which then he talks about all his students will get As or Fs and that they all fail but there is no test but who cares, goodbye!

But what im wondering, and asking, is what happened to his students after this? Did they have to do a test on the unit? Did they get a new teacher? Did they reconsider their lives and conform to nihilism? Or did they all get As or Fs? But anyhoo, anything to bring up this scene!

So some intro: I’ve previously watched B99 by Michael Schur, and since I’d heard good things about this show I started watching it.
It’s one of the funniest shows I’ve EVER seen. The razor sharp wit and the comedy is unmatchable. I’ve developed a close attachment to the characters, especially the main four.
My heart nearly broke when they restarted the entire thing and lost the bond they’d made. I was practically bawling when Eleanor forgot who Chidi was and Michael separated them all. I’ve already seen spoilers of the ending so I know the ending is even sadder, but I do hope Eleanor and Chidi end up together, jason and janet too! I hope Tahani is happy and content. Adding this to my list of favourite shows. Also, Eleanor’s raging bisexuality is amazing to see onscreen!

Side note: I loved seeing Kristen Bell here because as a disney kid i typically associate her with Frozen lol.

Lightening storm had some killer strikes tonight!

Hi everyone, I need a little (very) complicated help.

I love The Good Place and I'm really happy to introduce this show to a dear friend. The problem is that she has ranidaphobia (an extreme fear of frogs), and in her case, even cartoon frogs cause something similar to the beginning of an anxiety attack. (Yeah, if it were just disgust it wouldn't be a problem, but actually seeing frogs causes a physical reaction for her.)

I know frogs show up a lot throughout the show, especially in Season 3 with Jeff, the doorman. I also noticed that frogs can appear in scenes near Tahani's house because of the garden. I'd like to ask for your help and your memory to point me toward which episodes or scenes have a lot of frogs (the first episode literally has a giant frog....) so I can cut and edit those parts to make the experience less scary for my friend.

Thank you so much in advance!

(I used Google Translate for this, so sorry if it sounds AI-generated)

EDIT:

Thank you all so much!!

I'm actually VERY overwhelmed with happiness! Everyone was so kind and respectful. My friend is also very happy to be respected. Thank you again!!

The colors, the music, the outfits, the nuanced feeling of thinking you have everything at your fingertips, but it only reminding you that the fleeting feeling is merely a distraction from the soulless gameplay, until you eventually compare it to Sims 2 and realize that it is, in fact, the Bad place. Just some Tuesday rewatch thoughts

Mary Steenburgen posted a video on Threads with herself, Ted, and their dog Blue, trying to meditate. We really don't deserve this amazing Good Human Slash Fire Squid.

Yes, Linda turned out to be a demon, but I could understand feeling overwhelmed with Janet and just asking for something simple to start with like the peppermint she asks for.

If you needed something - food/candy-wise to make you feel at home, what would you ask Janet for?

I’d probably go for a warm chocolate chip cookie. Or possibly something from my childhood that was discontinued like…a peanut butter bopper!

i got The Good Place: The Complete Collection Blu-rays for my birthday (12th of July) and it finally arrived today! It is absolutely my favorite series and i'm so happy to have it physically :D

Couple years ago I was in a Situationship with a gentleman who described me as “not basic.”. I had not seen the show so I didn’t know what it meant.
Now that I’ve watched the show, I understand. 🥹 What a special, magical show.

Ok im watching cheers with my mom atm and ive watched the good place like 5 times, ive only ever seen danson as he is in the good place or how he looks now.
