Need to resubscribe to all my TV threads from GAF. This is a good start.
Anyone create the TV cancel/renew / TV ratings threads yet? I haven't found them :-(

This show never lets me down. I enjoyed the focus on Janet this week. The reason she was glitching was expected, but it let them explore some fun stuff. I've always liked that this show has sort of the soul of a more serialized drama/genre show and the flashbacks to show how Janet became a part of this whole eexperiment felt like something from one of those shows. Michael growing to have friendly feelings towards Janet was a nice touch. And then of course they had plenty of funny stuff come from the issues Janet is experiencing and the flashbacks. The rest of the main cast made the best of their brief appearances too.
This was really endearing out of nowhere. I didn't expect Michael to have such feelings for Janet, even as he saw her rebooted 803 times.
Also, needles.

The restaurant titles on point as usual. Janet espousing the mediocrity of Frozen Yogurt then questioning why Michael would want stores of it got me good.

I am excited to watch this episode. Janet is my favorite character in the show. Too bad my girlfriend does not ship her with Jason. :(
I've just recently got into this, first season was the fun and the last episode of that season was amazing, what a great twist. Ted Danson is the best. The other characters are growing on me. Watched the start of the season 2 and it's excellent. Think I'm on episode 2 next or 3, the first was a longer episode.
Weird that rebooting gets the pleading protection routine but total shutdown does not.
I also want to know what possible way Chidi could have ended up covered in needles while maintaining plausible Good Place deniability.
Favorite bit was the Bad Janet cameo.
This is just about the only show on TV I make a point of watching as it comes out instead of bingeing at the end of the season. So good.

I think that's the point. Vicky clearly doesn't know that her tortures are obvious but because everyone is playing along, she thinks she's getting away with it.
Probably offered an acupuncture that is supposed to be better than the type they have on Earth but it went awry when he was getting it.
I don't think Vicky has been shown to be able to plan something that elaborate.
You're right. Her grand idea was just needles and nothing else to go with it. Lol. I guess she just stuck him with needles directly.
That was fantastic. Was delighted all the way through, the flashback to stealing Janet, Michael and Janet getting real and being best friends, the brilliant / terrible advice from Eleanor, and then Jason Mantzoukas popping up as a great surprise at the end.
Really glad this second season is holding up when compared to the first.

I actually feel like they've managed to increase the quality compared to the first season. And that isn't to say first season wasn't good. Just that they took something good and managed to make it better in my opinion.
You are probably right, the way they have ridden the wave off of their audacious twist ending to season 1 has been really clever and satisfying. I was a little nervous about that coming into the second season, but I was very happy with the way it has played out, and now i am looking forward to see how they deal with the big stuff they have set up.
Also looking forward to more Derek next week! "what a dork, am I right?"
The drawing Michael made had me HOWLING with laughter
Liked the latest episode too, but I just had to comment on that lol
I know this has more to do with lazy writers/casting directors typecasting but I hate Jason Mantzoukas. He was fun at first on The League but every subsequent role he plays the exact same character. It's so jarring and obnoxious that it takes me out of the reality of the show.
Seconded, Janet is fantastic and the actress really nails the comedic timing. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson are the stars but D'Arcy Carden is just a treat to watch.
This weeks episode had me feeling some feels. Janet and Michael being friends was so sweet. Glad Michael's starting to realise how to be human even without the help of a classroom.
