It's a Netflix Original outside the US only (like Star Trek Discovery, Better Call Saul and others). So people from the US have to wait until NBC decides to put it there

I have never cried to a series finale as much as I have to The Good Place
- Thread starter SixtyFourBlades
- Start date
Only the first three seasons are available on Netflix US. Episodes 9-13 are available on Hulu. Had to borrow my parent's cable subscription to watch the first eight episodes.

I don't think anyone framed like that in the show. It certainly was framed like that by posters in OT and in this very thread.
I'm still waiting for the last season to hit Netflix. But by the first three seasons, I'm putting this show as among my favorite shows of all time, right next to the Wonder Years.
Doesn't Sam go back to Cheers? I just finished re-watching the entire series and heard there were some callbacks in this one.
I agree with every mention of six feet under... That ending was a supernova of emotion. As opposed to the black hole at the end of sopranos
I didn't know how the hell The Good Place was going to stick the landing with the ending, but it was perfect.
The entirerty of Season 1 in literally the equivalent of a few minutes of an episode by the middle of season 2.

Congrats? I trust you are better for it now. Separation/Divorce is never easy. Hope you're doing well!
Came here for this. It was like a 100 hit combo right in the feels. No one can recover from that assault.
Because hearing other opinions is better than circle jerks?
Anyway I didn't cry but it was one of my favorite shows in recent memory. I looked forward to it weekly on Hulu.
Stating on topic and not derailing the tone of the thread to air a contrarian opinion isn't circlejerking
I wasn't expecting much from this show and got hooked FAST after a friend recommended it.
The ending and the lead up are just incredible to me.
The writers went places I did not expect at all from this show. And yeah I had tears in my eyes for the last several episodes. It was happy and sad at the same time. Heart warming and heart wrenching. Such a mix of emotions all at once.
I've never experienced this in a show before and haven't since. I still think about it to this day. Now if I could convince my husband to watch it with me :/

I don't have a lot of love for insubstantial drive-bys like this:
Which seems to be a lot of the dissent that is voiced in what are otherwise supposed to be bandwagons/hypetrains. But I agree, if someone opens a thread it means they want to encourage discussion, and that means voices of disapproval.
I really, really enjoyed The Good Place. Loved the chemistry and cast, who elevated the show to incredible heights when the writing didn't always bring the A-game.
I didn't care for the self-important forced gravitas of the cast Q&A that was tacked onto the final episode of the series (and Kristin Bell's euphemistic "our creator" verbiage that was too clever for anyone's good).
The only thing that bothered me was that the final season backend rushed the "we need a way out" revelation. I just wish it had happened a season earlier and maybe we skipped some of the reincarnation storyline. I might be misremembering the reincarnation arc though.
But ultimately it was a very smart and thoughtful show that got in, did its thing, and then got out. I hope broadcast networks spend more time experimenting with 10 episode season premium series like this one, especially if it means we get more adventurous material.
