Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDoug calling the dead snail "he/she" was not from uncertainty. Almost all species of snails are hermaphroditic, they have both male and female reproductive systems.
- GoofsVery early on, it should be obvious that Doug Forcett cannot be the role model for getting into The Good Place, because his motivations are corrupt. Because he knows how the afterlife system works, his motivations are corrupt, which is explained several times throughout the series to stop you from earning Good Place points.
- Quotes
Michael: I'm worried that the problems with the system might be much more serious. We need to gather some real evidence.
Jason Mendoza: [trying to be so diplomatic] Uh, sorry, no, no, Michael. You're confused. Evidence isn't a good thing that you want. It's a bad thing that you have to destroy or you go to jail.

Featured review
I cannot believe a sitcom pulled this off
Every day, as I watch the world go by, and each daily drama about the he said/she said/they said claims about anything erupt, I get exasperated. Each side makes competing demands about the "right" way to go on any topic.
In fact, almost everything is a trade-off. And those trade-offs depend on what you value.
What do you value? And why? And what is your "score" for the choices you make? Is that score based on your team's metrics--or someone else's? Are those metrics the right metrics? Who decides?
I doff my female-coop-free-trade-gmo-cotton-handwoven cap to the team that pulled this off: an explanation of the fact that our choices are hard to score, for very good reasons. I would not have expected a comedy show to manage this. Well done.
