Thanks to some kind of error, Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), an ordinary woman, enters the afterlife and is sent to the Good Place - which is definitely not where she belongs.

Helping Eleanor navigate her new surroundings are Chidi (William Jackson Harper), her kind, open-hearted "soulmate" who sees the good in people but finds himself facing quite a dilemma; her frustratingly perfect new neighbors, Tahani (Jameela Jamil) and Jianyu (Manny Jacinto); and Janet (D'Arcy Carden), a walking, talking source for all the knowledge in the universe.

About this show

Comedic genius Michael Schur, executive producer of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Parks and Recreation," presents an original comedy unlike anything on earth. Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars") stars as Eleanor Shellstrop, an average woman who awakens to the shocking realization that her life on earth has ended. Now in the afterlife, Eleanor begins to recognize that her behavior in life wasn't particularly great. But what exactly does it mean to be a "good" or "bad" person? On a quest to better herself, Eleanor receives much needed guidance from a wise mentor (Ted Danson, "Cheers").

Having enjoyed the first 2 seasons of The Good Place, I find that, for some bizarre reason, I'm only able to purchase the third season on a per episode basis - this is no option for me to purchase the entire series. This would make it prohibitively expensive to continue viewing this series on Google Play. The best explanation that I've been able to receive from Google is that the mechanism by which the availability and pricing of episodes and series is determined entirely by fairy magic (or, possibly, faerie magick) which is totally beyond their understanding and control. It seems bizarre that I should have to place a poor review of one of my favourite series, and it also seems ridiculous that anyone who reads this review might be in a position to resolve my issue. Despite my reservations, I am posting this on the advice of a Google representative!
