Yeah I think they made the bad place even better (worse?) This time around. Tahani was broken by the first night.

This show is so incredibly well done. And I want my own Janet.

Six seasons and a Netflix Original Movie, please

As much as I'd love this show to be around as long as possible, you can only drag out the premise of the show for 3, maybe 4 seasons max.

I'd much rather it stays strong while sufficiently wrapping up the story rather than artificially dragging it out and hurting the quality.

While Eleanor and Jason both did horrible and/or selfish things to strangers at least they were doing it to strangers. To put things in perspective, Tahani devoted her entire life to upstaging her sister. Chidi is even worse because he hurt everyone who cared and loved for him and to no ones benefit.

To me it seems like Chidi had some serious anxiety issues going on which shouldn't condemn you to the Bad Place imo.

The only thing that I'm confused by in this show so far is the conversation Michael and Sean had in Ellanors bedroom in the S1 finale, and Sean said something like "your boss will be mad." Sean is Michael's boss ,right? And with as dry as Sean is I don't think it was a joke.

Bear in mind that Chidi's first language is French as well, so presumably he's hearing Michael say all of that IN French.

This is the tiniest of nitpicks that even worrying about gets me negative points, but it bugs me that all of Chidi's flashbacks are in English when French was his native language.It should be in french and subtitled in English if that's the case.

Chidi also volunteers to go as a human because someone needs to teach the ethics. Eleanor follows him in last minute hoping they end up together this time

Jason and Tahani are the only ones left to admin and gently caress it up because they’re incompetent.

Maybe Doug Forcett is God. Or an honorary higher-up in the afterlife for guessing so much of it on Earth.

Does taunting bad place administrators seem in character to you for people who run the good place? Does that seem like the sort of thing they would get any pleasure from?

Possibly really lame comebacks that the Good Place people think are funny? IDK STOP USING YOUR LOGIC AT ME
