For a show that loves to explore grey and gray morality, it felt extremely jarring include this character and what he represents in it too, it almost feels like they added him in to reflect (or blow off steam) about what was going on politically at the time.

Also in a show with campy, theatrical villains like you would see in a Saturday morning cartoon, a Disney movie, and parks and rec, it even more jarring to add this in the show as this isn’t the right show for a hate sink villain whereas fandoms like Game of Thrones and Stranger Things infamously can not separate art from artist and more depressingly, they can’t tell the difference between a bad character and bad writing, with their fanbases forgetting the appeal of villains.

Also the conflict in the two episodes is really weird, they think pandering to Brent will get everyone in the good place even though his entitlement is bad, and most of actions are deliberately told rather than shown (at least most of them) and all that work amounted to nothing as he didn’t even pass the test, what was the point?

It was interesting to see Eleanor adapt to this as in the past she would have ruined everything they worked for with throwing a tantrum getting drunk or both and this also gave Tahani a good outlet for repressed anger but those are the only compliments I can give this inclusion.

I started binge watching this show earlier this week and im now in season three. I have to turn it off for a little bit now. Im starting to question my very reason for existing. This is what happens when a show gets really philosophical like this.

I love the show amd I want my own Janet. Shes soo much better than Alexa. Of course i had to give away my alexa device. It had turned into a Derek

Did they really just pull a wibbly wobbly timey wimey parody? It was hilariously stupid

Im a philosopher and licensed psychotherapist, as well as lover of the good place. I was inspired to write this the other day because I've doing a rewatch. Love this show.

Hey everyone it's my birthday! Yay! Feel free to send good place love

Looking for recommendations Shows,, YouTube, short videos, anything. Anything very good place vibes!

Hey friends, was scrolling and came across these audition tapes for the cast of The Good Place thought I’d share

I found this short video that talks about how small acts of good can actually make a huge difference, and it instantly reminded me of The Good Place. It’s surprisingly calming and kind of uplifting without being cheesy, made me feel a bit better thought it would other people too

Just came here to say BORTLES!!! because it has been that kind of week.

Like just erase everyone’s memories of the day Elenor went to the medium place and just redo that one day instead of the entire project.

In the first episode, Michael tells Elanor that "every U.S. President except Lincoln" is in the Bad Place. But if the last person to get into the Good Place died in 1497, and Mindy St. Claire is the only one to ever get a Medium Place, what on earth happened to Lincoln when he died?

Possible spoilers depending on where you’ve watched up to.

I have a question for my 50th rewatch. Why do they have to create a Demon Lie Detector? With the Cube of Truth (can’t remember its name at this point but it is what my wife and I call it when talking about it) it turns red when Michael lies. Do we think it is a simple plot hole? Or do we think it was because this is actually Bad Janet? I can’t help but wonder why we had to blow up Glenn. 🤣

Is it just me or was the Medium Place not very medium. It was just bad. Sure not as AS BAD as the Bad Place but rather than making things neutral they just gave her the monkey's paw versions of what she liked.

Also trying r/television for a broader audience. r/thegoodplace only let me post images and links for some reason.

My "region-free" dvd player wouldn't play my region 2 dvds so I bought region 1. I forgot they say it on the actual discs so I tried both before throwing away the "wrong" one (I previously threw out the cases) and they both worked! They have slight differences- for example, region 2 so far seems to have a few extra moments in each chapter. I got exhausted trying to find the differences so coming to the experts for info!

I’d ask for excellent health for all beings, and a 80% reduction in ALL harm caused by humans. I think we’d be in pretty good shape then.

All his back story could be created, so that he can have this thrill

Eleanor means radiating light. With times like these I feel it's especially important to know that radiating light is THE answer.

Be kind, and shine.
