I was way too invested with The Good Place. It’s so rare for me to find a series where I’m just as excited and engaged from episode one, until the curtain closes . I thought there would be no way they could possibly end this series that would not drive me nuts. Boy was I wrong!!

I’ve grown to love each and every character in such different ways. I’ve laughed my heart out, and cried my eyes out over and over again during this amazing show. I can honestly say, even though I’m heartbroken to see it go, the last episode was pure perfection. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

This show introduced my GenZ children to Ted Danson. That ALONE would make it worth something.

I can't remember if it was a critic (Sepinwall?), or maybe even Michael Schur himself, who said this, but The Good Place is an antidote to the many (good) anti-hero dramas we've had since The Sopranos. There are other shows in this antidote vein, and I'd like to recommend Schitt's Creek as the next-best example. Imagine a family not unlike Tahani's, but who lose all of their money save a small town Dad bought for Son (played by real father & son Eugene Levy and Daniel Levy), and they get exiled there. Schitt's Creek ends at the beginning of April, and I hope they stick the landing the way The Good Place did.

Such a good show and an amazing ending. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
