    ABOUT THE GOOD PLACE
    From creator Michael Schur (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Master of None”) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson - “Cheers,” “CSI” - in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.

      He came full circle, the man who couldn't spare a thought for anyone else, the man who pretended to be a monk for selfish reasons in (what he thought was) literal heaven, spent hundreds of years waiting to make someone elses life better knowing that she didnt even experience those hundreds of years as he did, and in doing so he found the enlightenment that few if any true monks have ever found before him. It is beautiful. It is the most perfect ending to a character I can imagine.

Oh man, I never thought I'd see the day. It was beautiful and heartbreakingly wholesome beyond anything I ever expected

His war was more on his indecisiveness and overthinking and self doubt. In the end, he becomes so sure of himself that he wants to go through the door and no one, not even Eleanor, could stop him.

    I love this show so much, but honestly, my favorite joke from it is savagely underrated: when Michael and Tahani together made a combination Fast & Furious + Greek mythology joke together. "I kept pushing the rock up the hill, over and over, and now it's gone. Pushing the rock up the hill gave me a purpose. Who am I if the rock's gone?" "Ironically, that's exactly what Vin Diesel asked me when Dwayne Johnson refused to appear in 'The Fast and the Furious 9'."

    I struggle with death a lot. I have such an irrational fear of death, I so desperately don’t want to die that I get suicidal about my fear of death (I know it makes no sense).
    I watched this show because it fed into my fantasy and escapism that the death is not the end. That we can continue to live on and have grand adventures.
    I’m still where Eleanor is at in the finale, still unable to accept death, still unable to accept moving on. I hope I can get to where she takes that step and accepts it, but part of me also wishes I won’t. I don’t know. As hard as life is, I love living even with all its struggles. I feel like surviving the struggle and living for love makes life really beautiful. It still gives me anxiety to think about death but I just think to myself: “Eh, take it sleazy.”

      Everybody feels a bit like you do, though maybe you feel it more than most. I find it really helps to think of how Elinor explains what it means to be human to Michael. We all go around knowing for sure that we're going to die, and it makes us all feel a little bit sad. But that's ok, that's what it is to be human and it's the one big thing we all have in common.

      I used to feel the way you do. Not in the same way, but even the idea of something being so final filled me with a dissatisfied dread. Then I started to think about it in a different way.
      Most people throughout history we know nothing about. And even the people we can identify, one could argue we know even less. But each of those people had some kind of effect on the other people around them and their environment and through that chain of events I became the person who I am. We are all an amalgamation of the people we interact with, and I hope that even if no one ever knows my name that I can have a positive impact on someone who will then influence someone else to have a better life. In that way, I DO live on forever in that chain of events, and hopefully also have a hell of a lot of fun in the process.
      If this is all we have, then I’m going to try to live it well, even if that means being horribly disappointed about not learning all the secrets of the universe. If there’s more, then that’s just a bonus.

      Well, I mean, Christianity offers escape from the trials of this life and hope beyond the end. It answers difficult questions and forces us to confront truths about ourselves that aren't comfortable, but through examination can foster change.

    I'm really impressed that sometime between this table read and the show, the script team (or whomever) knew how much to keep in and how much to edit out. This script was originally much longer with a lot more jokes, but the way it ended up, it had just the right balance of humor and pathos. I also have incredible respect for this group of actors and their dedication. The intensity of their script reading and their concentration, watching them thinking about their characters, is really inspiring. Having just seen the finale, having seen their fully developed characters on the screen then looking back at this, it's so impressive how far they took the words on the page and fleshed them out. All along in bingeing this show, I have been so impressed with the script but now I think I am even more impressed with the acting. Humor has to be so incredibly difficult to do.

After watching The Good Place, i actually started overcoming it because i was really struck by the idea that mystery is what makes life meaningful and special. I told myself that fck it man, we're all not immortals; lets make the most out of our time here while we're still alive. Yes, life is meaningless, but with that nothing we can make it something. It could be anything at all. It could be a loved one or your family, maybe a religion or a practice or a hobby. Counting sand? Literally anything.

    You’ve watched the finale many times that you recognize the changes that were made in the final edit.

    Just finished watching the show. Charming show. Brilliant idea. Terrific actors! Thank you to all the creators. It was amazing.

    I don't think I've ever loved a tv show like The Good Place. these characters felt so real to me even though they're fictional. TGP will always have a special place in my life. It gave me happiness and light at a time when I felt so hopeless.

    Oh dip... when we get to the part where Jason says he’s ready to go... how D’arcy starts crying a little.

      You actually see her reaching for a tissue at 14:30. She may not have fully cried, but she teared up a bit.

    I wanna be an actor just so I could experience crying at a final table read

    I love that they post the table reads. It makes the theatre kid inside me so so happy.

    I just finished watching the series for the millionth time, cried at the end, and now I'm watching this and crying again!

    One of the most underrated shows of all time. Absolutely incredible storyline, cast and ending.

      I also love how TGP lets emotional moments make impact but then cuts it with natural humor and it never feels forced. Like I feel the weight of the emotional moment but am allowed to laugh right after which is really nice

    I actually wish they didn't weave in the actual clips, I could watch those whenever. I wanted to see the live reading. The ones I wanted to see most seemed to be the ones they showed the real clips too

    I love this show. So dang much.
    D'arcy crying at 'Jason' leaving made me so sad but it was so sweet! She has such a good soul
    UPDATE I'm in tears

    Seeing William Harpers demeanor change after he reads his final lines is heartbreaking 😭 you can see he is emotional and wants to cry but is trying to hold it together.
    Such an emotional table read. I love this show and cast so much
