You haven’t been watching?? Ya’basic!
The greatest sit-com on TV right now (sorry Brooklyn Nine-Nine, but you’re a VERY close second) has finally returned, and much like it has done before, The Good Place flips what we know about the world completely on its head.
We’re assuming you’re all caught up with the first two seasons if you’re still reading this (if not, stop reading, and go watch them right now, because they are INCREDIBLE), so you’ll be okay with talking about the plot details of what has already been on the show.
With the first season revealed that The Good Place was actually The Bad Place, and with the end of season two showing us that Michael (Ted Danson) has a plan in place to save the souls of the naughty/selfish/indecisive/idiotic foursome, we kick into the third season as Michael saves them all from their deaths to see if that new lease on life can push them naturally towards actually being good people.
Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Tahani (Jameela Jamil), Chidi (William Jackson Harper), and Jason (Manny Jacinto) soon fall back into their old bad habits though, and it looks as if Michael will have to break The Judge’s (Maya Rudolph) strict rules of not interfering any further.
Added on top of that, The Bad Place’s boss Shawn (Marc Evan Jackson) is making it his life goal to figure out what they’re up to, and a few other new arrivals and surprise returns that we won’t spoil here.
Suffice to say, the double-episode return (yep, the first two episodes of the new season have both been added to Netflix this weekend) are as fantastically funny and purely ingenious as ever, with our favourite one-liner probably going to Tahani during her multi-hundred long interview…
