    • 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.

    A feel good show with a stronger message underneath
    I love this show. It's a feel good comedy that's lighthearted and will make you laugh while still trying to get some good life lessons across. You also don't need to search to find the deeper meaning in the show, its made blatantly obvious, but its not heavy.

    Kristen Bell is quirky and lovable in this, and the rest of the cast is an odd blend of characters that just mix so well together. The acting and writing is phenomenal and the production is bright and cheerful and pleasant to watch.

    NBC is winning this season with new shows.

    I definitely recommend it.
