    • Trivia
      On January 4, 2019, a video appeared on The Good Place YouTube feed entitled "Janet's Void: What Actually Happens When * BING *". It consists of five hours of Janet standing around in her void, occasionally disappearing. You Tube commentators soon noticed that her disappearances were about 22 minutes long, the length of an episode.
    • Goofs
      The first time Eleanor and Chidi meet Chidi claims that he is speaking French but the good place translate it into a language Eleanor understands yet in flashbacks on earth he is seen speaking and writing in English.

      In Episode 1 he says that he is multilingual. He grew up in Senegal, but also lived in Paris and Sydney.

    Entertaining enough to drag me into binge-watching
    I thought this would be boring, but watched the pilot... then the second episode... then the third... fourth... fifth... sixth... seventh... and came full-stop only because those are the only episodes I could watch now On Demand.

    Smart, funny, and thoughtful, with diverse characters and a quirky premise. Fun to see Ted Danson in a comedy again, too.

    Not the usual, run-of-the-mill comedy, but also not just an off-the-rail-whatever show. Always seems to be an ethical point made.

    I especially like the "Welcome" movie. Wondering about MY score.

    Hey, Janet?
