The Good Place is a near-perfect comedy with one of the best TV plot twists of all time, and its bizarre humor scathingly comments on the story's overall themes. The Good Place follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), who, after her death, arrives in "the Good Place" — but is led to believe this is a mistake. Eleanor sets out to become a better person and earn her spot in the Good Place for real, with several other would-be Bad Place residents and demon/Bad Place architect Michael (Ted Danson) joining her.
