The Good Place on NBC

Oh my, unexpected new wrinkle!

"Wait, you two are sleeping together?"
"Only when we're done having sex!"

convergence otm

i’m going to get it girl
get what?
unclear. I’ll get everything, just in case.

also, i spied “pudding vat” on the store sign and thought to myself “i tawt i taw a pudding vat” and then there was a wide shot and MY DREAM CAME TRUE I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH

"It's sort of a glass half-full/glass stops existing in time and space sort of deal"

"Just walk it off."

the zooks!

Season one finale was pretty clever, and a funny meta-metaphor for sitcoms, so consider me on board for season 2.

Hi guys, I'm broken!

That was a masterfully-paced sitcom episode :D

favorite episode so far, Janet is one of my fav characters in recent memory

2 month break after tonight's apparently? Disgusting.

@KenTremendous
Hi the 8th episode of season 2 of The Good Place airs tonight. It's the last one for 2 months because of football. 8:30 NBC. Ok bye.
3:02 PM - 2 Nov 2017

I can't wait for the holidays to come so I can sit down and rewatch this entire show.

cancel football + renew the good place imho

I've always hated football but this is too far

i love football but fuck this

also i love the absolute genius move of using chidi’s obsession with ethics to drive the farce

Yes and no. I kinda feel Kristen Bell, who is a comedic acting genius, has been sidelined this season. We needed more flashbacks to Elanor's life before death...

Not really. The flashbacks were a device to let us know what these characters did to merit a spot in the Bad Place; now that we know, continuing to flash back doesn’t give us anything other than funny vignettes and think this show is being more ambitious than that.

If anything, they should continue flashing back on Michael and show how more of how he ended up being susceptible/amenable to learning from humans. It’s clear he’s not like the other demons just from the elaborate lengths he went to in creating the neighborhood; was he always different or did something spark imagination in him? If the latter, is it something they could expose the other demons to and get more allies?

Jameela Jamil has now said that Tahani is modeled after a real life person whose name she won't divulge, but apparently they know each other.

Which is probably a perfectly safe thing to do, since there's no way a real life Tahani would watch an American sitcom.

flashbacks were a device

An average viewer tuning in to season 2 would be utterly lost. Devices are useful in episodic TV.

but the episodes are chapters, so it’s very strongly implied viewers shouldn’t start at chapter 14

for a second I thought Eleanor had dropped the first "binch" on TV

i too am a total smoke show

^ so good

not skin

So tell me Chidi, how do ethical philosophers feel about murder?

Tahani is quite redolent of someone I knew at university. Hmm

I'd say it's not completely impossible that it could be this person, in fact, given she's an exact contemporary of Jamil's, from Hampstead, an upper-class British Pakistani and a fairly self-regarding Oxbridge type...

i could totally binge-watch that last episode five times in a row. so much goodness.

Acting is such a sad little desperate job where every job interview is you begging for a job. And it happens every day, and you have no control, and it's just this sad little thirsty job. The trick is to be confident and to not be thirsty. That's how you get the job. It's a fucking mindfuck. Don't get into it.

I love knowing that Ted Danson is a "giddy little weirdo" for some reason.

imo the presidents on mount rushmore _should_ have butts on the other side

^ I said this after that scene

btw made it a whole 30 seconds on before Hulu buffered this week

via vpn from the other side of the planet?

btw netflix australia has it now, same day

I'm in America

as we like to call it, The Somewhat OK Place

I've noticed that Hulu has become terrible across the board; I almost never use it anymore.

kind of a letdown that the jacksonville jaguars are good this year

another sign that we are in The Bad Place

I'm in America
