3rd (4th?) time is a charm - after hitting the wall ⅓ into Season 2 every time, I finally watched the entire series through over the last week or so.
I was so sad to say goodbye to each character and watch things end. But in a world of Netflix cancelations and whatnot, it really felt like the show did what it needed to do. In four brief seasons. I’ve stuck through Supernatural, Lucifer, Riverdale- lots of shows that survived ebs and flows but prob should have peaced out after the first divet. The Good Place truly wrapped up nicely - I don’t know what more I could have asked other than to drag it out because it’s hard to say goodbye.
Now rewatch the show but listen to the podcast with each episode. It’s like having director/cast commentary.
I’ve never done a podcast TV show thing, but you may have convinced me this is the right shit l show to try it
Have been watching this show like 7 or 8 times already and I really love it. As you said, they had a plan and stopped the show when the story was told. For me it felt like season 1 would have been a good ending if it would have been a flop and after that season 2 - 4 told one beautiful story. And what I liked as well: no 1 hour per episode, nice 20-25min (except for I think 3 double episodes). And no dystopian grey, beige thingy, but so much colour. And oh my, the real ending in season 4… I just watched it once. Every other rewatch I stopped without the last I think double episode. It’s so beautiful, but so damn sad. In a good way, but wow. That ending hit hard. And it still works as a nice ending without the real last episode.
