The Good Place on NBC

i love that mild panicked look he got when he realizes jason is about to loop back around and tell his story over again

Got to see this last night, may need to rewatch when I'm more awake.

Was wondering if this had been picked up Worldwide then heard it was on netflix. Is that the original source or is it on a non-cable?

It's made for NBC in the states. Not sure how it's distributed in various other places.

Guys, Zack Pizzazz

still loling every time i think of the chipotle/aristotle joke

Ok so I read that post before seeing the episode, and I assumed the joke was that she thought Aristotle was pronounced like Chipotle, ie "Ari-stowt-lay". I was laughing about that all week.

I loved how they answered all the fan questions about what language Chidi speaks, and about his accent

I have a large number of other questions about everybody else's accents now though

also wt enormous f at the giant flag in in his office

Now I have to binge rewatch S1 & S2 focusing my attention Danson's hand gestures.

the vogue 73 questions parody was also v good

Humans are only alive for 80 years and they spend most of it waiting for things to end

mount rushmore in the american restaurant: david hasselhoff, paris hilton, judge judy, hulk hogan

Adam Scott is so good at playing Earth Trevor that I literally want to strangle him.

but his memes are so dank...

this episode was bloody fantastic, except clearly they have no idea whatsoever what australia is or how it works

i meant the pilot btw, episode 2 hasn’t landed here yet

by “the pilot” i meant the first episode of this season, shut up aa

Dick Tracy called

Yeah I was cringeing a little at the accents but they werent as hideous as they could have been... couldnt they just have used Aus actors though?

(straight up, the only person I have EVER heard to a passable aus accent who isnt australian, is Paul Whitehouse).

Sophie Okonedo can too

That was good.

that episode was great

tbf to Ted Danson, his accent is purposely horrible.

I know “CHOCOLATE BOOK by Tay Zonday” was a throwaway gag but it had me rolling.

the details of the restaurant. holy wow. click through, it’s multiple pics

the Montana table is A+

Aus weekly lol

HEMSWORTHLESS

s'tru tho

by “the pilot” i meant the first episode of this season, shut up aa

episodes 1 and 2 aired b2b in the US, shut up AA

The show’s idea of Australia is way less accurate than the America-themed restaurant is at depicting America

Until the Brexit etc jokes I was convinced that this had to be in purpose, and leading to a reveal that they’re not really on earth, and it’s a fake Australia that doesn’t make any sense for in-story reasons

Totally want Eleanor’s framed koala poster though

episodes 1 and 2 aired b2b in the US, shut up AA

netflick called that whole thing episode 1 for some reason

yeah netflix does that with hourlong premieres of half hour shows a lot

it's also a single unit on hulu

This week's one was much funnier IMO

Which is a relief as I'm not sure I could take it right now if this show started to suck

this show is millennia away from sucking

People who complained about the first episode and a half forget how the wire was constructed

Frazer from Neighbours on the front page of Aus Weekly!! as HEMS-WORTHLESS
idk why that tickles me so much

Seeing Sean as Birdie's butler on G.L.O.W. was such cognitive dissonance; I kept waiting to see Bash get cocooned

hi jaq!

Haven't loved either of the new episodes. I fear this show peaked in its first season.

(hi mookie!!!)

blake beartles

Janet was a pure delight in this episode.

this episode was bloody fantastic, except clearly they have no idea whatsoever what australia is or how it works

yeah I'm hoping they actually go to jacksonville next ep

Four episodes in, they finally hire at least two, maybe three Australian accents to play Australians; they still don't bother to ask them what anything looks like or how anything works in Sydney.

(The barista selling lottery tickets [???!?!?!] was the first voice I perked up at: immediately after commenting that he sounded legit, the next new character onscreen was played by a guy I worked with at a bookshop 18 years ago [and went to see a play he was in once])

Frazer from Neighbours with a speaking role!

No *clap* one *clap* cares *clap* about *clap* the *clap* authenticity *clap* of *clap* australian *clap* accents *clap* or *clap* idioms *clap*

australians do apparently
