great.

Now I need to rewatch that show.

Again.

Not that I hate it.

I just want to announce it and hope that people will join in.

Fuck it, I’m in.

It’s honestly the best bit of American TV yet made.

The Good Place! Just go in blind, and definitely push through it it's not too much of your thing, it's 4 seasons and the ending makes it absolutely worth it. Amazing show all around.

definitely push through it

One of the better ways to get me to lose interest lol

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 20 points 3 days ago

I don't see why they said it, I was hooked very early. Schur is in top form with Good Place, he has a wonderfully wry yet warm sense of humour.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

and by "it" we mean like the first 15 minutes

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

I really don't know how you to tell you how to watch it without spiiersl.

Watch the first 4-5 episodes. If you liked the humor, you will like the rest

[–] Couldbealeotard 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a great show. You just gotta get past the first two seasons. Trust me bro /s

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

It really is just "watch the first 4 episodes". If you like it, you will like the rest

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I lost interest on my first attempt and didn't watch it again until I got the "spoilers", so let me help you out:

The Good Place Ep2They're not in the good place, they're actually all being tortured in hell and Eleanor convinces the head demon to let her improve herself so she can get into heaven.

The show always pretends it's going to repeat itself, but it never does (for longer than a joke montage).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah I don't know why I said that ahah.
It's a great show, if you enjoyed what Michael Schur made so far (The Office, Parks and Recs, Brooklyn 99, etc.), you'll definitely enjoy it.

I'm quite alone with the opinion but for me the ending and pretty much the whole last season was not good. Up to that though, really great.

[–] InputZero 2 points 3 days ago

I'll agree that the last season wasn't as good as the first three, but it was still good. The finale was amazing.

Without having read the other repllied in full: "The Good Place". If you are into phylosophy, just got in blind. Just watch it. Too many spoilers otherwise

[–] Psythik 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I've been watching it for the first time for the past two weeks. Wish I had discovered it sooner, but reddit was obsessed with the show when it was new and it kind of turned me off from it. Stupid, I know, but reddit tends to love shows I hate (like The Office US and Fallout).

Glad I gave it a chance cause it's honestly one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's near the top of my list, next to Better Caul Saul.

[–] Skullgrid 4 points 3 days ago

Trying to "Deus ex" the good place, huh. Bold move cotton, let's see how well it pays off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Alright, I might need to rewatch it too.

[–] [email protected] 88 points 3 days ago (3 children)

sucks me in and makes me feeling like I’ve just been imprisoned in a nightmarish hellscape for 10,000 years

Black Mirror, White Christmas episode. The episode also takes “blocking someone” to a whole new degree of whoa.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Also that one DS9 episode where O'Brien gets tortured.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

also one of phillip k. dicks books (probably)

[–] Glitterbomb 11 points 3 days ago

Made me think of transmetropolitan, specifically this page

[–] [email protected] 72 points 3 days ago (1 children)

is this what my grandmother feels when I show her a gooning chudjak meme

[–] Frozengyro 14 points 3 days ago

Make sure you save it to show your grand kids what memes were like back in your day.

[–] frigidaphelion 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Reminds me of Miles "Lucky" O'Brien getting mentally imprisoned for 20 years while only an hour passes on the station.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Or Picard getting stranded on that desert island, and spends about a week eating strange mushrooms and carving flutes from animal bones. To this day the Enterprise crew deny it ever happened, and fabricated some story involving time dilation

but... they're kids! they can't be fucking people, even if they are stupid!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

My kind of memes

[–] BoxOfFeet 6 points 3 days ago

I laughed uncontrollably at this. I'm really glad I didn't see this last night while I was high, I probably would have had a huge asthma attack. It's gold.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Basically the start of Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect
