The ratings were still above average for the network and apparently it does great on streaming and internationally. That, plus critical acclaim, plus NBC not wanting to endanger their relationship with Schur means it was never really in danger.

Someone mentioned earlier that 1497 was when the first modern circulation of "money" that we use now became globalized.
Lmao, if Schur turns this into a big anticapitalist thing in the final season that will be a HELL of a turn.
Season 3 isn't completely over yet. Still 3 episodes to come in January.
Money existed before the church issued Medina del Campo, this just made a common currency a bunch of people used. Would be a weird thing to cut from.
Somebody mentioned the possibility that somebody bad got into the Good Place and gamed things so nobody else got in, and, well, there is a Borgia in the death list on Wikipedia...

Maybe their best episode yet.
Also, there is no way Jason got put into a girl body and didn't immediately at least try to masturbate.

i feel like Jason is so profoundly dumb that if he'd still attempt to figure out how to rub one out were he reincarnated as a sedimentary rock
Seems very much to be heading that way and I love it. The whole accountant thing in general. The head accountant's line about doug's total being good, "oh wait he's 68, he's doomed" thing seemed pretty obviously a retirement metaphor.

Just started watching The Good Place last night and watched all the way through the Jason reveal. This show is so fucking good.
BORTLES!

Oh man you have no idea what ride you're about to get on.
Definitely give us more updates the more you progress through the show
You've made a good choice to start watching! The show's 20 minute episodes also do lend quite well to binge watching, so you could catch up fairly quickly.
The best (and lots of it) is yet to come in later episodes!
I didn't want to quote you about what an amazing fucking ride you got yourself on because I know you'd be stressed about possibly stressed about seeing spoilers ITT because getting quoted just made you open the thread again, but since 3 people quoted you already, I'll just add to the bandwagon and say I'm really happy for you and I hope you enjoy the wild fucking ride.
I only recently did the binge to join Good Place Era so I know how great of a time that is. It's soooooo good
That was me, and I'm sticking with it just on the long long odds that it's right.
Oh shit, Jameela was a English as a foreign language teacher after being hit by a car at 17 and not being able to walk for a year. And that job got her use to dealing with people
Jameela is an amazing person. She was also born with congenital hearing loss and labyrinthitis.
(a) If you don't listen to the podcast for this show, you should. Marc Evan Jackson (who plays Shaun) is the host and it's fantastic.
(b) If you don't listen to podcasts at all, you should listen to just the most recent episode to hear D'Arcy talk about the experience in much more detail. It's great.

Whoa I did not realize this was getting another season! I actually thought I had heard that this season was deliberately going to be the last.
I'm honestly kind of torn. On the one hand, yay, more Good Place, but one the other hand, I worry that the show will become stale if they drag it for too long.
But, on the strange glowing third hand I just grew, I also originally thought this show was going to be dull after two episodes, and it's been nothing but delightful, so maybe I should just relax.

this is a totally fair concern, but listening to the podcast has made me confident that Mike Schur and company can handle it. it seems like he has had a vision as to where the show would end up since the beginning (i might be mis-remembering, but i think he's said he had ideas for five season mapped out in his head) and any time it's started to feel like it might be spinning it's wheels, it does some insane shit like the reboots, or the most recent episode.
as a big... "fan" of Lost, i've got a built-in skepticism towards those kind of reassurances, cuz lord knows i've been down the "no really, we know where this is going" road before - but Schur has mentioned he's consulted Damon Lindelof specifically on how to avoid those pitfalls. that doesn't necessarily preclude those potential flaws, knowing that those issues are present in the minds of the people running the show assuages my concerns a bit
Im not that worried about it. Underneath all the afterlife weirdness this is a show about ethics and what it really means to be a good person. No shortage of narrative ground there
It's not "friends" or similar where the relationship drama is the point and the show runs out of gas after strip mining "will they won't they" as much as possible.
I think the writers mentioned having plans for at least 6 seasons? Or something like that?
Did I imagine it?
It's obvious the show isn't just about getting these people to heaven anyway, but reforming the whole system, which could easily take a lot of seasons.

I hope they put this on Youtube; the video won't load for me.
D'arcy was on Keep It!
And she was a crazy good guest, too. Honestly it was like there was just suddenly a 4th host in the room.

No episodes until January 10th. The last 3 episodes of the season are the 10th, 17th, and 24th.
