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").

WARNING: DON"T BUY THE THIRD SEASON HERE!! SPOILER!! I loved the show and watched the first two seasons on Netflix. Then we bought season three on Google Play and were most disappointed because each episode was cut off at the end by a minute or two. So the cliff hanger or plot twist at the end of the show was cut off. Infuriating!! Worse than a spoiler. How can they sell such a defective product?

I absolutely adore this show. I'm not someone who enjoys watching comedies very often. But this one really checks off my picky list of things I like to see in a show! Really well done, diverse casting, good writing and pure, clean humor.

Best show ever. We decided to buy all the seasons after watching a few episodes on regular cable. We have since watched all seasons at least 3 times now. It's amazing all the little things you see when you don't have to focus on the dialogue!!
