... it is actually as good as everyone says it is! Which is one hell of an achievement given all the things I have heard about this show over the past few years.
(If you have managed to get this far into 2019 without having anything about The Good Place spoiled for you: do not pass Go, do not read anything about the premise, just try it. It is less disappointing than frozen yoghurt.)
Anyway, I just watched thirty-nine episodes in eight days because last weekend I got sick. The kind of sick where all I could do for some time was lie on the couch distracting myself from how terrible I felt with a course in moral philosophy disguised as a sitcom. This turned out to be a better use of my time than anything I would probably have done if I hadn't caught a nasty virus, indicating that we may not live in the worst timeline.
(Or maybe there is only one timeline and I was always going to get sick and mainline an entire television show. Who knows? I think the most important thing I learned from The Good Place is what to do if someone keeps talking about Determinism, i.e. pour iced tea on their head until they stop.)
( If they complain, tell them you couldn't avoid this action because there's no free will and everything that happens is inevitable. If they reply that their complaining is therefore also inevitable, you are going to need more tea. )
