Apologies if it’s been talked about before but I couldn’t find a thread.

Just finished season 1 ( late to the party). Loved it. Wondering if it stays as charming and whitty for season 2 or gets repetitive.

I’ve enjoyed it so far. Fingers crossed.

I loved it too! Season 2 is just as good but in a different way. I think it’s very clever and for a comedy, pretty thought provoking. It’s worth watching for the interesting twists and turns in the plot and I loved the ending! ( no spoilers...) 😀

Whatsnewwithyou · 13/09/2018 06:53

I loved seasons 1 and 2 and am looking forward to 3 which is supposed to be coming soon.

I was totally stunned at the surprise twist. DH picked it after two episodes Shock.

It's a great show. Ted Danson is terrific.

I’ve just started rewatching it to remind myself of everything before S3. When I started S1, I really liked it and thought it was a bit of fun, but after the s1 finale and then season 2 it becomes much better. It is funny and smart, and only gets better in my opinion. Actually, I’m enjoying it even more this time round now that I know what happens later - there are all sorts of little things in the first series that are even funnier when you have more context. I can’t wait for season 3.

Season 2 is great. Love this show. Season 3 is on Netflix at the end of the month

Thanks, good to hear. Have started quite a few series on Netflix recently only to find my interest fizzles out. (Ozarks) Glad it’s not going to happen on this one by all accounts. Smile

Yes I agree , Ted Danson is brilliant in it!

Have you got to the part with Adam Scott as Trevor? I think it's at the end of Season 1. He's forking brilliant in everything but particularly good in this.

NoLeslie · 13/09/2018 08:27

I loved both series. So happy to hear series 3 is nearly here! Thanks for this thread. Grin

TammySwansonTwo · 13/09/2018 08:56

I love Adam Scott (and his giant head) so much.

Have you seen Party Down?

Watched all of season one. I will start season 2 today if I can get away with it Grin
Trevor was amazing wasn’t he! I googled the character name but it didn’t get me far ( to busy watching) so thanks for giving me his real name. I’ll look him up again today .

I was convinced William Jackson Harper ( Chidi) was related to Samuel L Jackson. Their voices and mannerisms are so alike.

I love this show!

Also, sorry to link to the DM, but there is a 3 minute teaser for Season 3: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6163105/The-Good-Place-Season-3-look-Eleanor-saved-shocking-twist.html

garethsouthgatesmrs · 16/11/2018 23:42

are you guys watching season 3 now? I Can't believe there is not more online about it, I am absolutely loving it!! Just watched Janet beat the crap out of all the demons, I actually think Janet might be one of the best characters on any comedy ever. Her secret love for Jason makes her all the more wonderful, I love her!!!

stripycreature · 17/11/2018 06:28

I was really disappointed with season 3. I think the quality has dropped dramatically.
Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing.

Whatsnewwithyou · 17/11/2018 06:39

Agreed stripycreature. I'm still watching it and it's an ok show but the magic seems to have gone. Seasons 1 and 2 were outstanding.

ZeldaSpellman · 17/11/2018 22:30

I think season 3 is great, it's just a bit different.

I absolutely love Janet!

jay55 · 19/11/2018 14:42

I think we’re getting too much Michael and Elinor and not enough of the others in season 3. Not enough of the four interacting together.

Passthebubbly · 20/11/2018 17:31

Can you only get season 3 on Netflix? I adore this show

garethsouthgatesmrs · 21/11/2018 22:52

I really like this season but agree about seeing more of the other characters. i think its created
for netflix so only on netflix.

Dozer · 10/01/2020 22:44

I’ve just finished it and blubbed a bit. I binge watched the first two seasons as I was late coming to it but got a bit lost in season 3 when it came out because I’d forgotten a bit of what happened in the wait between 2 & 3.

I sort of wasn’t really bothered with this season much, I didn’t like watching it one episode at a time and it’s all just seemed like filler as a build up to the end.

The last episode was better than the whole of the rest of season 4 I think. It’s one of those shows that I’ll probably rewatch at some point though.

Enjoyed it a lot, finale felt true to the characters and the smaller characters got a spot too. Cried several times, and made me reflect on mortality, of course!
