"Janet and Michael" - D'arcy Carden and Ted Danson deserve every bit of praise they get for this show.

Six seasons of The Good Place? 😉

Michael's speech to Janet always make me cry

DelGuy03

You may have noticed that Vicky, in her brief scene, persistently referred to Janet as an "it." She hasn't achieved the understanding that Michael Has. You briefly mentioned how good-looking Jason is. Mike Schur and other producers have remarked on the podcast that Manny Jacinto (Jason) could have been a huge star in silent movies, because his face is so insanely expressive.

Man I can't wait to see you really get to see Derek. This is definitely one of the top episodes of the series. Just so good all around. Season 2 is by far my favorite of the series. It's so different. This season is the opposite in many ways of the first it's been much steadier (after the first 2 episodes). All I gotta say is you ain't seen nothing yet

I love this episode so much but I forgot it was the first Derek appearance!! He's one of my favorites, he's insane

I think this is the first moment in the show that actually brings the tears (well done, Ted Danson!). I love when a comedy can have emotional moments and still be screamingly funny.

"Eleanor told me that instead of being sad, I should go get it, girl. So I'm going to go get it, girl." - "Get what?" "Unclear. I'll get everything, just to be safe." The dialogue in this show is so stupid and clever and funny all at the same time

Derek cracks me up. Yet again, perfect casting

I love the other characters' cameos in this, especially Chidi's. So funny how everyone is just dismissive of him as he's being tortured and Michael is like annoyed by him LOL. I think the casual vibe of S2 is why I like it so much, like last season definitely has a lot of time passing and day-to-day stuff, but it's also before we know everything. Here we just have our main four, Janet and Michael and everyone else is an antagonist so it feels more focused. Despite a LOT happening this season (about 800 reboots-worth of stuff even crammed into one episode), there's also a sort of chill/relaxing vibe to it with our main characters going along with the deception and us seeing them in between / during their downtime

Can’t wait for Derek! Jason Mantzoukas joining Marc Evan Jackson (Shawn) in completing a Mike Schur trifecta - Parks and Rec, Brooklyn 99, and the Good Place.

I love this episode so much. Fun (well, tear-inducing) fact - Janet tearing up after Michael's confession of friendship was not in the script. It was D'Arcy Carden's genuine emotional reaction to Danson's performance, and it ended up being so perfect that they ended up using that version in the final episode.

I'm so glad he's on this show. I think that actor is very funny but he can be a little over the top sometimes. This is a perfect show for him to be on.

It's the first time that we've seen actual physical torture as well. I wonder if that tidbit is gunna come back as well. This seasons vibe really is laid back. I have a feeling that's going to change.

I love that. Anytime an actor breaks and lets their emotions into the scene, you know that it's special.

The 4 "babies" (as the 4 who weren't Bell or Danson called themselves) were all really getting their big break on this show, with few and small credits beforehand -- credit to Schur for integrity and bravery on that point. If you've seen them on other things it's probably work they've done since TGP. (D'arcy Carden got Barry more or less simultaneously, and as they both film short seasons was able to do both. [Also she shows up in one ep of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!) William Jackson Harper had done mostly NY theater with a handful of TV credit, most notably the Electric Company reboot and a very good role in one ep of Unforgettable, which is worth seeking out and watching on your own. Jameela Jamil had literally never acted before, she'd been a host/presenter type in the UK.) So, Manny Jacinto: Before TGP he had had a very few TV credits, and done a Canadian series (he's Canadian) that I never heard of. Since TGP, he's done a miniseries with Nicole Kidman, Nine Perfect Strangers, had a role in Top Gun Maverick, was one of the ensemble in a romcom I Want You Back, and will be one of the leads in the upcoming Star Wars series (The Acolyte). Among other things, of course.

That "needles!" torture amuses me to think about, because Vicky and Chidi both know this is not the good place, but as far as Vicky knows, he thinks it is (and he has to keep up the pretense). So... how did she present it to him as part of life in heaven?

Roland Cooke

I'm not sure how big Manny's role in Top Gun was ever supposed to be, but he's basically invisible in the movie, which is a crying shame. As an espionage media buff I watched The Romeo Section a few months ago. The first season is amazing, and Manny is brilliant in it as a Chinese Triad boss, unrecognizable from Jason Mendoza. The second season has some neat ideas, but is otherwise a bit of a mess, which was a shame.

DelGuy03

I haven't seen TG Maverick, but alas, that doesn't surprise me. It happens all the time that when movies with big casts have to be edited for length or pacing, the roles that suffer are the ones with less clout (being paid less). I'll hope for better from The Acolyte, for which he's one of the 3 actors doing heavy promotion.

All mankind

Since you're not sure how to categorize the show, let me suggest "An earnest discussion of ethics, responsibility, humanism and relationships, framed in a philosophical, didactic, epistemological, maybe even teleological, sci fi comedy."
