great.

Now I need to rewatch that show.

Again.

Not that I hate it.

I just want to announce it and hope that people will join in.

Fuck it, I’m in.

It’s honestly the best bit of American TV yet made.

The Good Place! Just go in blind, and definitely push through it it's not too much of your thing, it's 4 seasons and the ending makes it absolutely worth it. Amazing show all around.

definitely push through it

One of the better ways to get me to lose interest lol

I don't see why they said it, I was hooked very early. Schur is in top form with Good Place, he has a wonderfully wry yet warm sense of humour.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

and by "it" we mean like the first 15 minutes

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago

I really don't know how you to tell you how to watch it without spiiersl.

Watch the first 4-5 episodes. If you liked the humor, you will like the rest

[–] Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a great show. You just gotta get past the first two seasons. Trust me bro /s

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 week ago

It really is just "watch the first 4 episodes". If you like it, you will like the rest

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah I don't know why I said that ahah.
It's a great show, if you enjoyed what Michael Schur made so far (The Office, Parks and Recs, Brooklyn 99, etc.), you'll definitely enjoy it.

I lost interest on my first attempt and didn't watch it again until I got the "spoilers", so let me help you out:

The Good Place Ep2They're not in the good place, they're actually all being tortured in hell and Eleanor convinces the head demon to let her improve herself so she can get into heaven.

The show always pretends it's going to repeat itself, but it never does (for longer than a joke montage).

I'm quite alone with the opinion but for me the ending and pretty much the whole last season was not good. Up to that though, really great.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I'll agree that the last season wasn't as good as the first three, but it was still good. The finale was amazing.

Without having read the other repllied in full: "The Good Place". If you are into phylosophy, just got in blind. Just watch it. Too many spoilers otherwise

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I've been watching it for the first time for the past two weeks. Wish I had discovered it sooner, but reddit was obsessed with the show when it was new and it kind of turned me off from it. Stupid, I know, but reddit tends to love shows I hate (like The Office US and Fallout).

Glad I gave it a chance cause it's honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's near the top of my list, next to Better Caul Saul.

Trying to "Deus ex" the good place, huh. Bold move cotton, let's see how well it pays off.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Alright, I might need to rewatch it too.
