I've already made a comment here, but it didn't represent what I wanted it to represent, and it sounded more arrogant than I wanted it to be, so I'm just doing it again, more simply and calmly. The Good Place is a good show because it doesn't try to explain all of itself to you at once. You need to take your time to appreciate the narrative and see it unveils as a whole, and then most of the "plot holes" it apparently has will be explained. I indeed liked the humor and most of the jokes throughout the journey, but I see why some people don't really lie them. But far from the narrative, or at least the Line A narrative, The Good Place goodness lies below its surfaces. Telling a story does not require just the script. The cameras, the actors, the art department, editing, everything is necessary to give a project a unique look, and this shows excels here. The idea of not showing Michael's character alone is on point, so we cannot find out who he really is, and the fact that our world looks artificial and bad shaped is also a good indicative that maybe something is not right. Also, each event that happens in the neighborhood is a chance to publicly humiliate the tortured souls, and yes, some of the editing techniques seem cheesy, but they are necessary to convey the cheesiness of this show. Anyway, just wanted to vent it out and be cool with myself.
