ABOUT THE GOOD PLACE
From creator Michael Schur (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Master of None”) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson - “Cheers,” “CSI” - in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.

This is an awfully short video compared to the other character journey videos, especially given that Michael's the most complex character on the show.
True, but to be fair, nearly all of season 1 Michael apart from the twist can be disregarded, as it is little more than an act.
I love how deeply Michael fell in love with the humans. He was totally unprepared for the unpredictable nature of human hearts, how they reach out to each other under the harshest circumstances. The progression of his relationship with them was touching to watch. His display of emotion when he found them alive under the train gave me a lump in my throat. First, they were his torture subjects. Then, they became his pets. Finally, they became his beloved friends, for whom he risked EVERYTHING. SIDE NOTE: It was so funny to see how ecstatic he became with little things that we consider trivial... like paperclips, or suspenders. What a wonderful quirk to add to this eternal being's character! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michael and Eleanor had the best character developments of this show
Season One: Literally a demon sent from hell to torture them for all eternity.
Season Three: "I love you all so much!"
i mean this pretty much sums up the first three seasons like completely...
David Wallerstein 100th like :)
I don't think the Judge is testing the newcomers, she's testing the original four. Even Jason is getting better.
Yeah me too
Good point
me too
I am not sure, because the point of the experiment was to see if it can be replicated with other humans in order to test the validity of the claim the original humans made. If only the original 4 continue to improve now, that doesn't build a good case against the system as a whole. And I feel like at this point, Eleanor and Co. would not accept to "just" get go to the good place themselves and forget about humanity as a whole.
@@PunkCheerleaderBetch Very reasonable point, but we are taking Gen here, and she's a tricky one.
I'm inordinately pleased that two of my favorite Michael moments were included in this reel.
MOMENT 1
When Michael finally confronted the concept of death and asked, "No... ME?" in a state of abject horror.
MOMENT 2
When he realized that the group hadn't embarked on the train and upon seeing them lying on the tracks, cried, "You guys... I was so scared for you," and broke down blubbering.
Janet is actually God.
Does that mean that Derek is Jesus?
What about all the Janet babies? Are they angels? Is bad Janet the devil?
Crying! at the Disco Derek is the first man Janet created so he’s basically Adam
I want to marry Janet so bad. Last year my cousin send me a Janet song and I didn't know the the good place was and then two months ago I bingewatched it all
I felt like Micheal watching his faveroute show
@Obi One so far 7
I still have a question. How the hell is Mindy St. Claire the best person alive in the last 521 years?
because the point system is forked up
If you don't know the answer, you clearly didnt understand the show
Mindy came up with a system to remove almost every bad things in the world, the system is so good to the point that it cancels out all the bad points she accumulated
She died right before forking everything up.
You also have to consider when she died the organization kept giving her points but she wasn’t losing anymore because all of the bad stuff she had to deal with was eliminated. She didn’t have to pay rent, open doors for anyone, be nice to anyone. It automatically gave her points.
Ok.... so Michael is the star of the show... we knew that
Well shirt. That's forking news 😛
Ted Danson is an amazing actor and Micheal is such a good character, he did such a great job!
When the series will be finished I'm watching it over and over and over again, because I love it so forking much!
Like # 111; SUCK IIIT!
And crying your eyes out at the end, every damn time!
I though I was the only one, I have watched this for four times in two languages Spanish and English
I finally watched Season 4 now that it's on Netflix and this is exactly what I'm doing now! I'm back to Season 3 when Adam Scott showed up on Earth.
He is my favorite character, him being a cruel and sadistic demon at first then becoming a brave and caring person is amazing. Imo one of the best redemption arcs I've seen yet!
Also because of some of his mannerisms and personality he kinda reminds me of a cross between the 11th and 12th Doctors from Doctor Who which makes him even more awesome.
Fire squid boi
Chidi, Tahani , Jason and Ellanor also represent major religions/ philosophy. Each have central philosophical truths but none are complete without the other. I can see every single one of these characters being given their own medium place to manage and destroy, learning in the end that people do what they want and the only way to judge a person is the motivation behind their actions ... or Chidi is the Super Ego, Elanor is the Ego and Tahani and Jason are two sides of the ID. It's philosophy - nothing is anything and anything is everything.
Kinda have to disagree with Eleanor and tahani, I think those 2 shud swap places but other than that you're right
That evil laugh
It kind of reminds me of an evil version of Nick Offerman's laugh.
Michael the archangel (architect) shows the most promise of becoming human.
Kudos to Sam Malone and John Becker in his journey to becoming Michael.
Oh, and thanks, Ted Danson. Another great forking tv show.
"You guys I was scared for you." It always makes me laugh and cry
say whatever you will about Chidi, but he's PACKED bench
Guy looks like a full course meal. Love the guy but sheesh his mental tics would annoy me to death.
This show is tens time shirtball kind of awsome, and Michael's journey is one of the best parts. I will miss this show and team crockroach so much when it ends. I want to be part of team crockroach
Ted playing Vicky playing Michael is my fave. It's so great!
Plot twist
Everyone’s in the bad place and the good place angels are devils
wouldn't that suck lol
Empolikid12345 very much
Amalia Richtarikova It hasn't even ended yet...
Amalia Richtarikova uh I meant everyone even the demons :p
Revolver Ocelot they meant season 1 but didn’t get the joke
Iv actually starting say Fork and Forking instead of f**k because of this show.
Even the narrator curses. I love this show
I just realized that the neighborhood number (12358W) is actually the start of the fibonacci sequence omg
My favorite character 😍
I can’t wait to see Janet’s journey.
This show is amazing
there’s just too many forking *forks*
I love Michael so forking much. You know I mean fork and not fork, right?
that was a great laugh
The dali llama texted me that
Whose voice is narrating this video? It seems familiar. It's not Mindy, is it?
It definitely sounds like her
"I call it my looking hole."
Thank you!
#SoulSquadInthedotOnThei
Let's be honest Ted Benson is the only one the could have played Michael
Michael is my fav
Michael went from torturing people to fixing the good place
3:21 THAT'S LITERALLY WHEATLEY FROM PORTAL I AM REELING
Plot twist: It was all a test for Michael to stay in the Good Place.
Thank you for explaining it all. It was a hard to follow, as I didn't start at the beginning.
Realized how Ted really looks like a demon without the glasses?
I feel bad now for saying this.
And at 1:50 he looks like The Scream.
I was like number 666, yeaah !!
I completely forgot The Good Place's cocooning! In the Pandemic, the government's advice to old and sick people to "cocoon" always annoyed me, and now I see why! I was fighting visions of Shawn wrapping people up!
Okay so Chide is hella indecisive right?
But how did he choose to go to college and what college to go to and What to major in.
in one of the episodes you can see his dad was a philosopher and his parents were fighting and he used philosophy to convince them not to get a divorce and that made him get into philosophy but i dont know about the collage part
Y isn’t there one for Tahani?
Y’all need to put a spoiler warning on these because some day someone who hasnt finished season 1 is gonna watch this and be very upset lol
You know whats better than Ted Danson? Ted Singin' and Danson
Farted on the set, specifically on his chair in his office.
Oh so is Trevor gone for good?
plz bring him back : (
Yuelin Wang ben wyatt
since when was the judge’s name jen?
Giraffe Girl. Well her name is actually Gen, short for hydrogen. 😂
Gen, short for Hydrogen, "the only thing in existence when I was born". Her words.
@@eliaskar5084 I totally missed that. Thought she was just The Judge.
It's short for Hydrogen because that's the only thing that was around when she was created
@@CantDraw-bq6pj I thought it was a reference of season 5 of Lost
There's an accountant named Milton.
What episode goes into Michael’s backstory?
The peeps chill is what turns you into a demon
Eleanor (Elle est noir) ; jason ( heal ); chidi (do not follow the rlules); michael (ther's only one god ) ; janet (je net) good names
Typo in the subtitles, Eleanor says learning what it’s lik to be human instead of like
Oxy Bright Dark pobodys nerfect
This is a comment wrong show bud
@@oxybrightdark8765 What do you mean wrong show? Eleanor literally sells shirts saying Pobody's Nerfect at some point in the show
Alura White pam also said that in the office, so that's probably why that person commented that
@@christine-go7ik I know, and it was also used in other media before the Office if I recall, but it IS used in The Good Place as well so it wasn't at all the wrong show
D.B. Russell
Theory time. There is no good place.
I bet Michael is still Vicki in a Michael-Suit, and discovering Bad-Janet, was also part of the plan, to cover it up.
Jason is going to be replaced by a suit as well, before he can return to The Medium Place.
I find that highly suspect. It'd rely on Jason catching the slip Bad Janet made, having those magnetic handcuffs ready, and then Bad Janet being able to remain lucid enough to not blow that incredibly circuitous plan. And then, somehow ensuring that Team Cockroach don't just cut their losses and restart the experiment from scratch, which while a challenge, would have been more detrimental to the Bad Place than anything else.
Kaizerworks omg wait you’re so right
@@ashleylawrence5005 Sorry, what?
@Awesome Level I don't understand the theory.
I don't mean to sound rude, but the grammar is so terrible, that I can't make out what is being said. I'm sure it was just a mistake in Voice-Rec, but I still don't understand it.
i believe they'll take everyone but eleanor and make suits of them in attempt to torture her again
I thought this was a character analysis not a summary of the show
I was always wondering why the good place architect workplace looked so cold and dark.
Spoiler
and now on top of everything we know he's a fire squid
12358 I'd a febonicc sequence
The fork joke is now kind of overused
Gen or jen
TEAM COCKROACH 🙋
BOBCATS
^^^I still think that's better
Yooooo
Michael is daddy
Jen? The judge has a name and it's Jen?
Hydrogen, like a bomb of hydrogen
@@patriciacarreramontiel7783 - That's perfect. But I'm so mad that I never caught that. Now I need to watch every single episode all over again. Okay, maybe I'll start with Season 2, but any excuse to re-watch episodes is okay with me. :-) Thanks for replying!
#TheFullMichael
It's not Michael, and Vicky kkk
No Michael is Michael, he was about to kill himself to confirm that
If it wasn't Michael, the take it sleazy bit makes 0 sense. Also, he made Eleanor un-doubt herself.
Also, the "Jason cheatcode" thing.
Random Stranger but the take it sleazy is a callback to an earlier experience, one that the bad place did not hear of
Why watch the show at this point, they tell you everything that happens.
It's worth watching though, so turn this off and just go watch the first episode.
wait, why did Janet have to go under the train?
So this story is just about the invention of Purgatory?
still a bit iffy on Michael...
First
Who the hell came to the good place 521 years ago?! Only Muhammad and then the entire humanity is done? 😂
Season 4 isn't as good as he other 3
