Oh hell ya. I'm fully on board for Adam Scott deviously ruining the group dynamics while Michael tries to keep up

double nine posted:... I may need to see this now. You're in for a huge treat. Ignore all the complaints about flanderization of the characters and enjoy the ride. Seriously Ben Wyatt is one of the few characters I can think of in the entire history of television that came in midway through a show and made it better.

Gaz-L posted:I think that's kind of what hurt Ann (Rashida Jones' character) in the long run though. She's kind of built to be kind of a cringe comedy character and the rest of the show turns into something more akin to B99 or TGP. Rashida Jones was a straight man foil to Poehler's extreme wackiness. She extended that to Ron, April, and Chris too. Hell I think her job was even harder once Adam Scott's character became involved in whackier concepts.

seaborgium posted:See, I don't think the "Simone is a Good Place Agent" theory works. The judge checked in on the 4 humans, and immediately recognized everyone who wasn't a human. If Simone was a good place agent, the Judge should be able to see that immediately and she would have been grabbed by the doorman as well. I think she's just a decent human being. Simone's a bad place agent who is warming up to each human in order to take them all down when they aren't expecting it.

the_american_dream posted:Donkey Doug may be my favorite casting of any show of the history of anything I’ve ever watched. To each their own but Jason's been my favorite from the get go. Tahani and Eleanor are usually my least favorite in a scene but I still love both their characters so it's like them scoring 90's out of 100. I could watch whole episodes of Jason and Michael or Chidi and Janet. Especially during season 2 when Michael and Chidi were interacting more while learning about philosophy. Donkey Doug and Pill Boi transcend Jason into a spot where all three of them should have a show about hustling in Jacksonville.

nerdman42 posted:I'm kind bummed Eleanor and Tahani forgave Donna/Kamilah when the latters didn't even... apologize. But I can accept the Kamilah situation enough and Eleanor seemed to forgive Donna more out of a sense of giving Patricia a normal life. Growing up is realizing that not everyone needs to apologize. Tahani loves her sister. She doesn't need an apology to want to get her into the good place. That's self motivation and selfish. Same with Eleanor. Donna's her mom. Eleanor realizes that Donnas has faults and wants to help her life. What does an apology matter?

Lutha Mahtin posted:peope rag on florida and arizona but really, there are a LOT of places in america where the satire elements of this show are not that far off. i say this as a proud american I've driven through Jacksonville and it's just a big sprawling city. Half of it seems empty or like another city was tacked on to it. Main cities in Florida all seem to follow the same pattern as Beach ---> Waterfront ----> Ghettos ----> Suburbs just like other port cities. Jacksonville becoming this white trash stereotype full of idiots is great though. It's not just the Good Place doing it either since Ash vs the Evil Dead was obsessed with glorious Jacksonville too.

Jeremy Bearimy was literally a joke written by a writer who was tired of the over-complicated nonsense Mike Schur was coming up with to explain time differences. There is no sense to it because not even the writers can make sense of what Schur is trying to say. The answer to how time works on The Good Place is it's a comedy show, just go with the jokes.

Kristen Bell is arguably twice the starpower as McKean which sucks because McKean has been around forever and is one of the hardest working actors in the business. BCS also doesn't seem to have nearly the impact as Breaking Bad for its actors. Its not like people are knocking down the door for Bob Odenkirk like they are for Bryan Cranston. Kristen Bell going to this show was a huge win for them. She really could have done anything after Frozen which is telling that no one wants Idina Menzel but that's probably because she's notoriously an awful person to work with.

A Sometimes Food posted:I haven't actually seen anything with her in it, so you could be right. I was just responding to someone mentioning rumours of her being hard to work with. Said rumours seem to often if not usually be poo poo rapists make up to cover their buddies or get back at actresses rebuffing them. Quite the leap because the rumors are that she's a diva that treats her help like poo poo

Arist posted:I'm generally pretty hesitant to believe rumors that an actress is "difficult" because that's usually code for "actually gives a poo poo about her performance/the way she's being treated on set." I also haven't heard about any of this Menzel poo poo before right now. But from the variety of sources and stories here it's tough to deny that there's probably at least something to this. There is a massive, massive difference between giving a poo poo about their performance and how they're treated on set and being a diva. Being famous isn't an excuse for treating people like poo poo and acting like an untouchable god, especially since there's so many famous actors out there that don't act like that despite facing difficulties on set.

ashpanash posted:Are you kidding? It's one of the best things to happen to American TV recently. When you have to do 22-24 episodes, you end up stretching too far, delaying stories and payoffs too long, and treading water too often. It's hard on the writers, hard on the actors, hard on the crew. More content solely for the sake of having more content leads to watering down your show, not improving your show. It's weird that Brooklyn 99 is so funny considering how many episodes they pump out per season. I agree though a good amount of episodes for a season is 10-13ish.
