Anybody else in on this one? Seems like everytime I want to call the Network Sitcom dead...NBC throws me a curve ball.
(i.e. 'Community', '30 Rock', etc.)
The series opens with Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman who wakes up in the afterlife and is introduced by an "architect" named Michael to "The Good Place", a Heaven-like utopia he designed, in reward for her righteous life.
Problem is that as Michael begins to recount all of her righteous deeds on Earth...it becomes painfully obvious that they have the wrong Eleanor Shellstrop as the young woman sitting in front of Michael was really a selfish twit that has no business impersonating a woman that devoted her life to every charitable act imaginable.
As Michael, I have never had more fun watching Ted Danson. However it is the relatively unknown D'Arcy Carden as "Janet" that absolutely steals every scene she is in.
Solid cast, good writing and a genuinely clever take on an old concept have made it my favorite thing left on Network Television.
Netflix subscribers have season one streaming right now with season two to be added next week. Season three premieres on NBC next month!
