They’re not in the Good Place. No one has gotten into the Good Place since 1497. You see, if you give any financial support at all to someone who does bad things, the rules of the Good Place count that as doing a bad thing. Simply by participating in global capitalism, you’re unavoidably dropping yourself further and further into damnation. For that matter, one of the main characters managed to make the world better within the confines of the system, and she’s still damned because her reasons for doing so weren’t selfless enough! And another is doing everything he possibly can to opt out, and he’s not earning points fast enough, so he’ll be damned when he dies.
The original goal of Michael’s experiment was to find a more effective way to torture the damned. But he comes to the realization that they were judged too early and too harshly. Despite their flaws, all of his test subjects are capable of becoming good people. So he joins forces with them to overturn the system.

(Anonymous) 2020-02-22 01:37 am (UTC)(link)You really have to watch it to get it. But the characters aren’t your thing, and there’s no helping that. It’s not an inherent flaw, it’s just your taste doesn’t fit the show. This is definitely one where you can’t fairly judge it without seeing it, and your comment shows that.

(Anonymous) 2020-02-22 01:40 am (UTC)(link)IMO you'd have to watch at least two seasons of the show to actually judge the show.
It's not my absolute favorite or anything, but it's a very well done show, just generally, IMO. However, I was Meh on it for most of S1. It wasn't until near the end of S1 that I started to actually like it, and it wasn't until S2 that I really liked it.

The premise is one I don't like. The main conceit or point of the show is something i don't have a lot of interest in. The main character is annoying as fuck and not fun to watch. The other characters weren't interesting. Nothing improved in five eps.
I don't have to watch the whole thing to know that i *do not like it*, and there is basically nothing that could entice me to sit through more of it.
If you liked it, go you, but it was dreadful for me, and i have no interest in it.

(Anonymous) 2020-02-22 01:37 am (UTC)(link)...I mean, that's where the story starts, yeah. That's not the story, though.
