The Good Place, but the end might be an 11.
I have a question about this show that I mean in absolute good faith but be forewarned that it’s going to come off in a “I am actually very smart” way.
Tap for spoiler
Are you meant to know from the beginning that they aren’t actually in the good place? I’ve seen enough episodes of “The Twilight Zone” to know that if someone tells you that you’re in the “good place” then you are absolutely not in the “good place”. With this knowledge I felt that I couldn't take it even the amount of seriously that it asked.Is it me? Am I the problem? Or is it the children who are wrong?
I just watched the whole series recently. Yes, I agree, that big twist was so blindingly obvious from the series title. If it helps, the producers and writers knew that, too, and the reveal comes relatively early in the series, so no, that's not the big conceit of the whole show.
