reasons you should watch The Good Place
- summary: likable asshole Eleanor Shellstrop is accidentally put in the ‘good place’ of the afterlife and tries to become a better person.
-by the creator of parks & rec and brooklyn 99, so you know it’s going to be good
- you know what you think the show is going to do when you read the premise? nope. does not do that.
- solid diversity with little to no reliance on stereotypes; the asshole is female and the kind, anxious ethics teacher is a black man, the glamorous socialite is pakistani-english
- highly quotable. “it’s like, who died and left aristotle in charge of ethics?” “PLATO.”
- discussions of morality and redemption, real meat behind the jokes
- plot is ROCK. SOLID. you think “how are they going to write their way out of this?” and they DO IT. i trust the writers
- very different from other shows on tv in premise and execution - if you want more good, innovative tv, support this show
- also the series has a lot of twists and turns so i would advise NOT looking it up on the internet but is still v enjoyable if you know them
- in conclusion pls watch this show
