Funniest show on TV, and so inventive in every episode! Can't wait for season 3, and I sure hope Season 2 gets some Emmy love (though I know it's unlikely)

Frank Sinatra wouldn't have let Trump park his car.

[@jodeg205]

I like season one of the good place. Season 2 seemed like they ran out of good material and the show went down hill for me real quick.

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

It's really annoying how he keeps tapping the table.

[@megmo05]

Mose!
