The Good Place - Season 3 Sneak Peek

I am so ready for this!

I didn’t much care for the Season 3 premiere, but the surprise guest star at the end is promising.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the premiere -- I love the show, but thought the season-two finale was meh, so I worried about what the third season would hold.

Very happy to see everyone back together and I agree w/ R2 re: the return of a character we've seen (and loved) before. LOVED it!

But did you like the episode, r3?

Not loving this time on planet earth. My favorite bits were Ted Danson and the earth border patrol guy.

Yup, I liked it more than I thought I would, and am curious to see how it plays out... especially now that it seems like the season will be a Michael/Trevor game of oneupsmanship. I also like that they kept Maya Rudolph around. They just need to figure out a way to get Janet on Earth (powers intact).

I also quite like Chidi's Aussie girlfriend.

Holy motherforking shirtballs! The Good Place is back!!

[quote]They just need to figure out a way to get Janet on Earth (powers intact).

I was bummed that they went the route of her not having powers on Earth. I think there will be some kind of twist where Janet regains her powers via being logged onto a WiFi connection.

I'm curious how they plan to keep the show running beyond its current season: they've been in the Good Place, the Bad Place and now on Earth... but there's only so long they can keep bouncing around the afterlife before landing someplace permanent.

And they've kind of run out of destinations, unless they spend an entire season in the Medium Place doing coke with Mindy St. Claire.

If they wind up back in the Good Place at the end of season three, then what?

I'd watch that.

Have we seen the good place yet? We haven’t, right?

R10 We haven't seen it. I think we will see the good place this season. The real good place could be equally pissed about the four humans getting a second chance like the bad place demons are. Also, Janet was a Good Place Janet and they could be mad that Michael stole her.

[quote]The real good place could be equally pissed about the four humans getting a second chance...

Given the constructs of the show, could anyone in the real Good Place actually be pissed off? Ever?

By default, wouldn't everyone in the Good Place have to be loving and welcoming, no matter what, or presumably *they* would be considered to be in the wrong place?

Last night’s episode was great. Love the other Hemsworth brother! And the actress playing Janet is still MVP.

D'Arcy Carden should have been nominated for an Emmy this past year.

I am loving the Australian scientist woman.

I love this show. And I’m not ready to stop.

Holy god! Chidi is ripped!

This week’s episode was the best one of the season. Janet kicks ass!

Chidi and the ripped demon need to have a face off! (or a sex scene)

I love this show. It just keeps getting better and better.

Action-hero Janet must have been so fun for D'Arcy Carden!

Season 3 is atrocious.

So nice to see Mindy St. Clair and Derek back, even briefly, last week!

S3 is unwatchable. It's so bad.

We stopped watching a few episodes ago. I'm glad to hear from R23 that it is not much better now.

Hmmm, I may be in the minority (am I?), but I'm still enjoying it.

I was skeptical that they'd find a new angle in order to keep the whole Good Place/Bad Place thing going after the season two finale, but I think they succeeded.

That said, I suspect/hope that they'll end it after season four. Once the "is the point system rigged and can it be fixed?" mystery is done, presumably our four heroes will finally get to the Good Place, Michael will be "promoted" out of his demon-hood and Janet... well, she'll live happily ever after w/ Jason... somehow.

At this point, they would end up in the middle place, which is acceptable and would set a spot for continuing the series.

the season is just as good as the others. very funny, well written and the acting has been top notch. i guess not enough car crashed to excite r23

I still like it - but it has been a bit more up and down this season. The new ideas have been more hit and miss (and sometimes I think they try to show how clever they are to the detriment of the show). It is still better than most comedies, but I don't think they should stretch it much beyond this season.

The last several episodes (after they left earth) have been some of the best.

D'Arcy Carden deserves an Emmy nomination for this season. But, knowing the dumb Emmy voters they'll give a nomination to awful Leslie Jones from SNL.

The episode where Janet played all the parts should give her a nomination - but you are sadly probably right.

This week's episode is already the season finale.

And for all the Janet/D'Arcy Carden fans, a collection of some of her best moments at link.

Kristen Bell has a 13 episode max per season in her contract

They fucked this show up when they changed the premise with S3. It was never "laugh out loud" funny before but was quite clever and interesting.

S3 was embarrassingly bad.

not in the least! ^

I've heard rumors that Season 4 is the last one, and that sounds about right to me. How much longer can they stretch the story out?

IDK BIG BANG HAS STRETCHED IT OUT FOR 300 YEARS.

after all the nay-saying here lately, i just watch the last ep. and damn. tears. never a straight line to any end. surprise around every corner.

Manny Jacinto looked particularly hot in his off the shoulder monk outfit!

Totally teared up during the Chidi-and-Eleanor retrospective, and I thought the final Janet/Eleanor scene was very sweet.

I'm also starting to really love the Sean character.
