So am I the only goon that is still interested in finding out exactly HOW Simone died on Earth? Shawn made it sound like a real doozy of a story.
I always took it as the Bad Place making her get into an "accident".

My favorite joke is definitely Chidi saying he has to go to the bathroom "forever" after his peeps and chili gorge.


See, I have the complete opposite issue, I thought having the Good Place also have some problem that the main characters have to solve was eye-rolling. They already redesigned the entire system of morality underpinning the universe, now they have to fix heaven too because they're just that goddamn special. I was relieved that they breezed past that part. It kinda reminds me of how I feel it was a bit of a cop-out for the answer to "how do we flawed people get in the good place" to be "No one gets in the good place because the system is broken, and the main characters have to fix it!"

I know the show never really set out to answer the question of what being morally good truly is, but I thought the show was at its strongest when it was about characters trying to become better people, not when they were fixing universal bureaucracy with the souls of humanity at stake.

Also how come people still have to sleep in the afterlife.
I feel like while the show for sure didn't need an additional 5th season to tell the story they had left for s4, they should have either budgeted their time a bit better early season or preferably have had an ~20 episode run this season to have the second half breathe a bit more. Esp w.r.t. fixing TGP.
