For what it's worth I'm an Episcopalian, so I do believe in an afterlife. To me, I think part of it has always been "heaven" or its equivalent would come with some kind of raised consciousness, you'd be much wiser than you are now and so it wouldn't be just about filling all your smallest desires until there's nothing left to do. Like maybe you could for a while, no point not enjoying the cocktail shrimp dispenser, but ideas of Heaven can be interpreted as some kind of transcendent state of being, and stuff about streets of gold and whatever are just images. Analogies. But again, the whole point of the show has never really been about theology, it's more about philosophy and human nature. (And I'd hate for it to come down on some explicit "The very idea of an afterlife is stupid, take that theists" note.) The Good Place's metaphysics clearly derive some of their structure from the Christian idea that there's a Heaven and Hell (though even this has a lot of after-the-fact theology on it, Jesus doesn't talk a lot about the afterlife), but of course they don't include ideas like salvation-through-faith or even the existence of an authoritative God. Schur isn't critiquing a specific religious idea about the universe or morality, the show handwaves that in the first episode with "Well, all the religions got a little bit right and most of it wrong, also there's this guy named Doug." So like I don't think the end of the show is setting up the ideal system for the afterlife. It's gonna be about our ongoing moral/ethical obligations. Even the "fixing the Good Place" bit can be read as the Gang getting a new moral problem to solve and finding an ethical solution (giving people the choice of whether they want eternity or not.) Again at least that's what I hope.

I wanted it to be explicitly against capitalism and it feels like it's dropped that.

It wasn't capitalism that was loving up people and stopping them getting in to the good place, it was the increasing interconnectedness of society. In a society where you can reasonably expect your actions to affect or interact with someone on the other side of the world, even if only by degrees of contact, then every action you take affects them regardless of political, economic, religious or philosophical systems.

Timings for tonight’s broadcast Thought people watching live might find this handy for knowing how long the breaks will be. Also note that the show ends at 67 minutes, not 53. Assuming that the live post show starts immediately after the sixth break, the running time of the finale, without commercials, is 47:58. pwn fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jan 30, 2020 |

I just hope this isn't one of those highly anticipated series finales that just bombs. But I have faith.
