demota posted:I feel like the final episode of The Good Place was about saying goodbye to The Good Place. No, I felt the same way. Apart from the last time, each character's passage through the doorway was marked with a cut. It felt like the show was editing the characters out, that they can't last forever because the show is finite. The plot had to bring their existence to an end to mirror their departure from the lives of the audience.

Worth remembering that although the Good Place was represented to the characters as a perfect Heaven/Nirvana as a reward for good behaviour, that often turned out to be misleading. The first neighbourhood being in the Bad Place, the point system locking the door for 600 years, through to the final twist that infinite, non-stop indulgence made for a bad experience in the nominal Good Place. Our protagonists described what they set out to do as fix the afterlife, but that's not the same as saying you're creating unassailable paradise. I mean, a world with infinite resources where every inhabitant is the best version of themselves will be pretty nice, but it doesn't need to be perfect.
