Chidi and Eleanor have known each other for hundreds of years, but haven't really shown it until now

But they've consistently fallen for each others several times, so they really are soul mates

The moment that always stands out to me is Jason figuring out they're in The Bad Place and Michael going,"....oh this one hurts...."

Jason figured it out the first time! He said it something about it being a prank in mid s1

I liked that Shawn had to sway himself in the end. It wasn't anything the others did, it was him realising that them losing would mean the game would be over and for the last couple of hundred years it was his only source of joy. A billion years of back to boredom, and he wasn't ready for that. I liked his confusion and dismay at Michael giving up, just "But there's always another plan you idiots keep coming up with..." "Not this time. Game over. You won..." He just hadn't realised until that moment that this time, there would be no hail mary play, no interruption to his big speech, no further twists in the tale.

Michael played him, that was the "another plan" all along.

As somebody who's lost friends and family to suicide, the ending was complete garbage.

Having the majority of the cast basically commit suicide one after the other was a terrible way for things to go especially when there was a non door alternative like Tahani.

You might feel that you've accomplished all you've set out to do in life but I can tell you for a fact that the hole you leave in your absence will never, ever be filled. Eleanor should have looked at that calender and then broken down forever because hey, that's what happens in real life.

It is incredibly selfish to just up and go and not think about the people you leave behind.

The last two episodes basically ruined the whole show.

Why bother trying to do good and helping other people because of what you owe to them if the ultimate outcome is that you say gently caress you to all your loved ones and just leave.

Because eternity turns your brain into soup. The door is an analogy for peaceful death after a (supernaturally) long and fulfilling life, not the tragedy and abruptness of suicide.

An afterlife that is better than life on earth in every measurable way.

They never got around to addressing that question raised by the show of 'what is the point of Earth, really'.

There is no point of earth if there is an afterlife. Even a finite one such as what they eventually established in the show. It's the inherent flaws of every movie and tv show about afterlives.
