This is pretty incredible to think about when acknowledging where things currently stand on The Good Place.
This led Michael (Ted Danson) to completely reset everything and erase everyone’s memories, which means that Season 2 will pick up almost exactly where everything began.
Through 95% of the first 13 episodes, audiences were led to believe that Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Chidi (William Jackson Harper), Tahani (Jameela Jamil) and Jason (Manny Jacinto) were all in the show’s magical vision of paradise… but then came the bombshell reveal that they’ve actually been in The Bad Place the entire time.
This begs the question how the next slate of episodes will manage to not be repetitive and move in new directions — but if Michael Schur has things planned out until Season 7, it’s hard not to be confident that he easily paved over that potentially significant issue.
