The Good Place is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. Every one of its 4 seasons holds up. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 1,999 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Kristen Bell sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The Good Place is worth clearing space for. The Good Place does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Eleanor Shellstrop, an ordinary woman who, through an extraordinary string of events, enters the afterlife where she comes to realize that she hasn't been a very good person. With the help of her wise afterlife mentor, she's determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome (or at least the pretty good) person within. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It ran for 4 seasons (2016–2020), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The timing in The Good Place is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, The Good Place respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to Star Trek: Lower Decks will find a lot to like here too. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Kristen Bell's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

The Good Place wrapped up in 2020, created by Michael Schur — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
