The Good Place - Series - 2016

The Good Place - Wikipedia

The series is centered on an afterlife in which humans are sent to "the Good Place" or "the Bad Place" after death.

Honestly, a great show, watch it blind.

I highly recommend season 1, no reservations.

Season 2 is pretty strong, Season 3 dips a bit, the final season 4 is a bit all over the place... but the closing...

One of the few shows I've cried at while watching the ending. Death has always frightened me and I found the way they handled it beautiful. And they avoided the usual pitfall of a lot of US series of trying to keep the show running until the quality diminishes. Four great seasons and they ended on a high.
- It really is exceptional, and actually makes peace with the concept of not existing anymore. Must watch TV if only to setup the final episode.
Great show. Really. Enjoyed everything except season 4.
Four was (as you said) all over the place. I think they had just painted themselves in a corner and couldn't find a way out.
Still, excellent show. Lots of fun.
- Yeah, If season 4 was just the first episode and the last episode it would have been perfect!
  
  Oh no. I loved season 4. The talks, the getting a handle on the metaphysical post death reality. Vicky finally getting to be the director she always wanted to be. The love story between Michael and Shawn. No I loved season 4, the only note I had was I could have used one more episode explaining/exploring how fucked up the endless ‘happiness’ of the good place was. I mean they could have easily done a whole B-plot of Jason and monkeys riding go-karts.
