    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 Camus....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 beSadly the show seems to have found its limits when it comes to adapting philosophy 101 courses as a form of goofy entertainment.

    For that, there is Hannibal....Hmmmmm...    … Expand

    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.

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.… Expand

    Yes, The Good Place is strange--also ridiculously inventive, silly, smart and strangely, unexpectedly deep.

    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.

    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?
