Got the first two seasons of the wonderful NBC comedy drama "The Good Place" on DVD and blasted through BOTH of 'em in a week, just in time to begin watching its Season Three premiere which started last night!
Such a great little show about a self-professed "Arizona Trashbag" named Eleanor Shellstrop (played by the highly delectable Kristen Bell) who dies and is accidentally sent to Heaven instead of Hell and her exploits as she does her very best to keep her true badness a secret as she attempts to become a person worthy of "the Good Place"!
Everyone is great in the show, including William Jackson Harper as Chidi Anagonye, an Ethics Professor determined to help Eleanor find her "nice" self, Manny Jacinto as a rapper-masquerading as a monk named Jianyu, Angelic AI Assistant Janet played by D'Arcy Carden, and Cheers veteran Ted Danson as Michael, the Good Place's cheery overseer.
Ooooh, and special mention MUST be made of Jameela Jamil as the lusciously curvy spoiled and self-centered socialite Tahani Al-Jamil who became my favorite character from the very first episode and has remained my biggest motivation for keeping up with the awesome show!
Just finished watching the first episode of Season Three on the NBC streaming site, and I had to laugh realizing this is the first ACTUAL Television show I've been interested in enough to watch one by one, weekly, as it airs!usually I wait for shows like this to come out on DVD and then jsut binge 'em, but I love the Good Place too much to wait!!!!
So far, this show has kept me on my toes guessing just WHERE each episode is going to lead!!! Such a FUN, innovative series!!!
