The Good Place is one of those television series that breaks genres and entertains while it enlightens. It is also one of those series where not much can be given away because the reveals that occur are incredibly rewarding. The starting premise is that Eleanor (Kristin Bell) is greeted after death by the architect (Ted Danson), tells her she is in the good place, and that this is her reward for the things she did on earth. The problem is that she was not a nice person and proceeds to rope others, as the first season progresses, to be educated in ethics so they blend in better while glitches occur around them because of their abnormality in the good place. Season two, three, and four change the goals of the characters due to the circumstances also changing. It also makes moral philosophy interesting, interactive in many bizarre and comedic ways, and has topics that stick with you.
The shows are a half hour long, brilliantly written and acted, and lasts long enough at 50 episodes to tell the story to a satisfying arc. One of the best shows I have watched. Period.
The wiki link to "The Good Place" if needed but best to just watch it first. Trust me.
