The Good Place

The Good Place is a town where those who have been good throughout their lives go once they have passed away. Michael (Danson) is the architect who oversees the town--and this is the first one he has been in charge of creating. Eleanor (Bell) arrives at the Good Place and realizes they have her name right, but everything else is wrong. She isn't meant to be there at all. With the help of Chidi, her soul mate (Harper), Eleanor tries to right her wrongs, seeking to finally earn her spot in the Good Place.

A Girl from Arizona

Thu, Sep 26, 201923 mins

With the Janet and Derek created other residents in place, Eleanor, on the spur of the moment taking over the architect role in Michael's panic, Michael, Tahani and Jason await the four new recently deceased human arrivals to the neighborhood. Tahani has quickly discovered that Shawn has not chosen the worst of the bad, but rather the ones that will cause them the most grief, the reason he has chosen Simone i.e. as a foil for Chidi. Eleanor however believes that Simone is a known, and as such they may know the right buttons to push with her. It not quite being the case, Eleanor has to decide if she will take the chance in sacrificing her hoped happiness with Chidi to bring Chidi and Simone together in perhaps he being able to touch her soul like he did on Earth, despite neither Chidi or Simone having any recollection of their past time together. They also can't quite figure out one of Shawn's other choices, a wet noodle named Linda Johansson, whose purpose seems to be to bore everyone to death. Meanwhile, Derek, who is supposed to stay hidden at Mindy's, can't help but make appearances in the neighborhood if only to stand up to Jason in his own "love" for Janet.
