Storyline
Having eluded Shawn, the four humans, Michael and Janet are still in the neighborhood, with their next stop being the Good Place. Michael tells them that he has to build a special transport vehicle to get them all to the Good Place. Because of where they're going, they have to be the best version of themselves before boarding, or else they will be denied entry onto the vehicle. That caveat may be an issue. As a collective, they have to decide either how to figure out how each will be the best version of him or herself all at the same time, or else decide to leave those denied boarding behind, all under the time constraint of getting away before Shawn figures out where they are and that it was Michael who betrayed him. They may be facing a larger issue beyond boarding the vehicle which they are as of yet unaware. Written by Huggo

A one joke character literally repeated 1000 times. The second season is just weak. I really want to like the season but it's pretty hard because it's a show about a show at this point. It's just recaps of itself recapping itself in an endless loop of the same joke over and over
