incredibly late as always but hello! read through your good place thoughts and im pretty sure i agree with you on pretty much everything—i watched this alongside an ethics class that i was taking in high school coincidentally so it was really fun to be able to understand all the ethics they were talking (even though i think they did a good job of explaining it all anyway). also it’s interesting that you mention its genre because i actually think it doesn’t fit into its genre all that well… it’s technically a sitcom (in the vein of parks & rec and the office as you’ve mentioned) but because it relies quite a bit on plot to drive it forward through all four seasons i actually feel like in that way it isn’t quite a sitcom. because with something like the office, for instance, you could pick any episode to watch and basically understand the gist of it, but with the good place you’d have to do a lot of catchup to get there. but they have the exact same brand of humor (which makes sense, because it’s the same guy who did the office/parks & rec/b99/etc).

anyway, as you can tell i definitely like it. the first season is most memorable to me simply because i never saw that twist coming, but i think for a “sitcom” all four of its seasons were done remarkably well and the ending message that they landed on was both sweet and fitting for the show. a lot of times sitcoms become less and less fun to watch because you get tired of the antics that the characters get up to, which is what the office definitely suffered from, but i think four seasons was enough to get through all of the story that they wanted to tell without feeling like it was dragging on and on. i don’t have anything bad to say about the show off the top of my head… it’s perfect in nearly every way to me <3
