It continues to be a thoughtful consideration of what we owe each other. And it’s also one of the funniest shows on this plane of existence.
The best show on network television. Michael Schur’s hysterical deconstruction of karma is reaching for new levels of brilliant absurdity in its second season after blowing people’s minds with the twist at the end of the first.

You think you've seen the best of the show and they prove you wrong with the next episode. And that it's admirable due to the core of the show itself. They could've fallen in all kinds of plot traps, but they manage to build unique stories episode after episode.

SEASON 2
This show remains one of the most funniest and most creative unpredictable comedies on TV. Great cast all around, but Kristen Bell and Ted Danson really knock it out of the park.
Two quibbles: There were a few too many bottle episodes in the middle of the series. Kind of took you away from the world of the Good Place. Jahani and Jason and the others plotlines kept them at a distance for a good part of the middle of season. So it was sort of hard to believe that they were a team and helping each other when they weren't interacting that much.

SEASON 2
After delivering one of last fall’s most assured, instantly delightful debuts, in take two, the series solidifies its status as the most intellectually engaging comedy on television.
Yes, The Good Place is strange--also ridiculously inventive, silly, smart and strangely, unexpectedly deep.
There’s a distinct plan in place, one that opens up all kinds of new narrative ground for the show to explore. Along the way, it gets to pursue the most fascinating questions it set up last season. What does moral growth really mean?
The Good Place proves it’s still able to surprise, while staying rooted in ideas that make it more than the sum of its twists.
The delicious evil of The Good Place, [is] the hidden detail that makes it such a gem worth picking up in season two. ... The first season finale paved the way for a reboot that takes several episodes to settle in this new season but basically remakes the series into a tongue-in-cheek indictment of the office politics and the ruthlessness of middle management.
The Good Place is Michel Schur's magnum opus. After testing the waters with the relatively predictable but nonetheless hilarious comedies of Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn 99, Michael Schur has decided to conceptually trash the concept of a "sitcom" that we have all become accustomed to. Somehow the writers manage to take on looming questions of morality, while simultaneously creating unforgettable and beloved characters, and not to mention jokes that rarely fall flat. If you are looking for a fresh and witty show that also keeps the audience on their toes, this is without a doubt worth a watch.

SEASON 2
The show definitely hits a wall in season 2 and it is not pretty to watch. I think bad decisions with character development and pushing the plot too quickly early on and then having to drag it out over the last few episodes really hurt things. Chidi is placed on the back burner this season for Jason, who is too repetitive and lacks any real substance to be anything more than a side character. And I wasn't a fan of how Eleanor and Chidi's growing relationship is pretty much killed off in favour of Tahani and Jason. Again, Very bad decision because all of season 1 was built upon Eleanor and Chidi so having that throw away in season 2 just ruined the character development for both of them.

SEASON 2
Sadly the show seems to have found its limits when it comes to adapting philosophy 101 courses as a form of goofy entertainment. There is so much you can joke about with Kant, Kierkegaard, Wittgenstein, Sartre and **** that's very little because the only salvation from this depressing existentialism came from writers such as Nietzsche and Foucault, which just could not be understood by the PC-abiding libertarian snowflakes...
For that, there is Hannibal....Hmmmmm...
