The Good Place is a television series that aired for a total of four seasons from 2016 to 2020. In this review, I want to focus on season number one of the series as it is the best season for the relationships between characters being formed. The plot of the show is focused around a group of six characters, four of which ended up passing away on earth, and have moved on to “The Good Place”. After passing away, each character is awakened in “The Good Place”, and is given a life which uses their favorite things, and creates a dream world for the character. Although this is what the creators of the place said, the place was actually created to torture the characters and drive them insane. Each character is put into this so-called “Good Place” and must work together to be sent to the actual good place, rather than being in the bad place. During season one, the characters consisted of a white woman, black man, Indian woman, and hispanic man. This created an intriguing aspect of diversity for the show. The producers were able create a great representation of how people from different backgrounds can work well together towards a common goal. Although they each came from different backgrounds, they were committed to learning about each other during season one, that way they would have a bond. This bond was crucial in order to achieve the goal of getting to the actual good place, and it wouldn’t have been possible without accepting each other for who they are, and having an open mind. I believe that the goal of the producers was to show the audience how working together is the answer to achieving your goals, because if it wasn’t for their commitment to work together during season one, they would have never achieved what they did. Overall, The Good Place is a fantastic television series if you’re looking for entertainment with team building, diversity, and comedy. I strongly recommend it to all of you, as the deeper meaning in the episodes make it a must watch.
