The series is centered on an afterlife in which humans are sent to "the Good Place" or "the Bad Place" after death.

Honestly, a great show, watch it blind.

I highly recommend season 1, no reservations.

Season 2 is pretty strong, Season 3 dips a bit, the final season 4 is a bit all over the place... but the closing...

spoilersI enjoy how the show walks you through the moral aspects of theology and community.

While tackling ethical issues in a heaven/hell context the fundamental building blocks are not exactly analyzed, we are operating at the level of "goodness" and "badness" as commonly understood

  • Why only humans in this system?
  • Why reward or torture after existence?
  • Why don't the eternal beings have their own desires, conflicts, outside of humans?
  • In what context does the universe exist?
  • What is the point of evaluating humans at all?

The end of season 4 - Very thoughtful, made me sad and contemplative. thought provoking in making me come to terms about what I need from my life, and letting go when the time is right, and letting go of others when its right for them. I have to say, i'm still thinking about it now. Very much makes me think of Terry Pratchett and his EOL advocacy.
