That’s what The Good Place has been throughout its four seasons: a well-lit, hopeful, and hysterical contemplation of life’s biggest questions—an existential crisis.
The argument at the core of The Good Place is, ironically, the same as the reveal at the end of its first season: the good place isn’t what you think.
We’re not in the best place or even a great place but we’re in a good place.
The finale’s biggest message is to enjoy the life you are living now, as imperfect and disastrous as it may be.
