The Good Place, Ending Explained - What Happens After?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.พ. 2020
- After all its twists and turns, The Good Place ends by returning to its original question: what happens after we die? In this video, we figure out where Eleanor (Kristen Bell), Chidi (William Jackson Harper), Tahani (Jameela Jamil) and Jason (Manny Jacinto) all end up, and how a show about the afterlife is in fact about what we do here on earth.

Sometimes I feel like life is moving too fast. I keep wanting to take it slow. Oh, you need 30 credits to get through high school? What if I just took one credit each year?
But then I have to remind myself that if I did that, 30 years will have passed.
There's only so much they can do in your 80-year time limit.
Can ya make a video about the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance?
This is nice.
But can you guys do a video on Male Protagonists like Geralt Of Rivia & Arthur Morgan? Protagonists that behave like dumb tough guys but have hearts of gold and are very intelligent.
Atheists bash religion and the absurdity of following the philosophy of a “self-proclaimed divine creature,” yet they claim that man-made philosophy, such as that presented in the good place, is an absolute truth and a fact of life. They’re saying they don’t like superstition, but they can’t live without it, without something more to believe in. They say we’re organic matter that decomposes, but they can’t help not committing suicide without convincing themselves that “this life” matters for some mysterious reason. I love this show because it brings out the humanity of everyone, the desire to pursue meaning beyond a shallow existence. People of every belief - Christians, Buddhists, Muslims, Atheists, Agnostics, etc - can all connect to this show in the same way. I honestly do not know the absolute truth, or if there even is a truth. Perhaps life is truly meaningless. For the sake of my sanity, I will stick to my belief in God.

mike schur is TALENTED
I still cant believe a sitcom made me feel at peace with the concept of death
I know, right?!
RIGHT!!
And in the end I had the biggest panic attack ever. I was a wreck for a week
For me, for as long as I remember I wanted to die. I lost all meaning in life and only lived to get a job to make a lot of money because I thought that would make me happy. This show made me realize that that won't bring me happiness. I never connected with people ever, my friendships never lasted long since I never put effort into maintaining them. Then I met some people that connected with me and brought meaning back into my life. They helped me see that there's more to my life. And I built connections with them and helped them out when they needed it. Maybe one day I'll get a good job and make a lot of money, but I'll know that that isn't what's going to make me happy, it's the connections I have with people.
It's not really a situational comedy, though. It's more a drama-comedy (dramedy, if you like).
I've never seen a show that literally made me want to be a better person, question the fabric of the universe, ponder moral philosophy, and want to travel the world with my loved ones all at once
samee!! the good place gave me this weird perspective on the world no other show I've ever seen do
And cry. And laugh. This show was truly worth the watch. Everything was done so well. Even the absurdity like the Time Knife, IHOP, Janet(s) and Derek as well as their entire concept, or even the little stuff randomness of the Doorman to Earth liking frogs.
Same! I accidentally watched the first episode and I think this is one of the best things that happened in my life. 😁
yessss!!
@Rosie Rust the ending compared to this one wasnt even comparable maybe the second last one was good
The final episode of Good Place actually made me feel a little sad. It's been a long time since a TV show's last episode made me feel that way. That's how good The Good Place was.
I recommend the magicians
I felt sad but soo happy with the ending.
Go watch The Leftovers. Anyone who enjoyed this show would love that too....
How could you not be sad with the ending? When any work of art makes you care about it, seeing it end will pretty much always be, at best, bittersweet.
For me, however, what was saddest was that this wonderful, thought provoking thing ended, and there was nobody to commiserate with. Pretty much everyone I know just couldn't or wouldn't "get" the show.
Me too Jane The Virgin ending also made me sad aswell
I love that Michael was right when he told the judge that Phoebe belongs in the good place.
Oh my gods I totally missed that link! That's brilliant!
Ikr when re watching I was like 😲😲😲
wait what when lol
phoebe? who?
@@GamingWithHajimemeswhen Michael is pitching his plan to Shawn he references the show Friends saying (and I'm paraphrasing) think about the show friends. Yeah Rachel and Ross would be in hell, and Monica and Joey and Chandler, ...but Phoebe, she would have to be in the good place. And in the last season of the good place Lisa Kudrow (who played Phoebe on Friends) was the the Greek philosopher who Chidi was obsessing over and later told them what was wrong with the good place. Pretty much it came full circle
I really didn't know that the line "take it sleazy" would make me cry like a baby
Me minutes earlier 😭
Right???? Omg
Lol I'm glad I wasn't the only one
Sameee
Still crying
This ending made me ache for an afterlife like this. This Earth offers so much pain and stress and not enough time. The idea that I could be given as much time as I need to be with the people I love and do all the things I want to do and then let my consciousness rest after it is all done is so blissful to me.
for me, the idea of infinite heaven christianity believes in is terrifying to the point where when i was younger, i had nightmares about it.
but the one in good place is exactly as you said - doesn't scare me at all
The time to develop and understand how to be ourselves, time to understand how to be with other people. Time to learn how to be with others. A real dream.
Man, the thing that really did it for me was the fact that the after life gives you SO MUCH CHANCES, that being a good person seems actually doable. I try to leave on Earth acting as nice as I can, but there’s so much shit going on you can’t possible die like a hero. The chance to be good without inadvertently harming others seems just so neat.
@@nikkim7038 Yeah, it was a literally perfect afterlife system to me. I didn't think they could find a solution to what an ideal afterlife would be and they nailed it!
If there is a God, I hope they're taking notes from this show 😂
Yes and you get to choose when you want to leave, unlike earth
god, this show was casted so fucking well. could you imagine a different Eleanor, chidi, Tahanai, Jason, Janet, micheal? they handled the finale so gracefully too
uhhh... casted so "forking" well! LOL!!!
i could imagine a different chidi but that’s it
Chidi should have been someone else. I originally stopped the show because of him
I could see Emily Osment playing Eleanor, but Kristen Bell fits a lil better
Jasons casting was bullshirt
so the good place really was the friend we made along the way huh
Now I'm crying again!!!
I guess we're just some kind of good place
Y’all are making me sad again
It’s sad boi hours
I would think so.
HAHAHAH
Can we talk about Tahani? She humbled herself so much in the afterlife that she does jobs she previously and jokingly looked down on and even goes as far as to wear *OVERALLS!* We love character development like this, _Tahani deserves the world._
YESSSSS
PLOT TWIST: Michael is the show writer of the story, he wrote this after coming down
Yes yes yesssss
OMG THAT CAN BE TRUE
Caitlyn Wong you know what caitlyn you just won the internet this can be true cause no one can prove or deny what you just said
@@burnedjay1 😎👉🏻👉🏻
the reason we don't know what happens when people walk through the door is because michael doesn't know
Holy Mother Forking Shirtballs, I never thought that I would be THIS emotional over a show ending! Plus, it's appropriate that Michael gives both the opening and closing lines of the show, since his actions drive most of the action of the plot.
I am very emotional right now because I just looked at my girlfriends and they are incredible.
i cried since the first second of the last episode, this show just brings me so much good memories and happy feelings but such a bad existencial crisis.
Totally unrelated but AYY ADDAMS FAMILY
bug boi the Addams family rules
i am so forked right now. love michael
bortles!!!
As an atheist I appreciate this show in so many ways- it destroys misconceptions about morality and being a good person. By the end the moral of the story is be more concerned with THIS WORLD- not the next. a lesson everyone- no matter what religion you follow, should take to heart.
I agree.
Violet Raven yeah. I’m a Christian and I still love the show too
God is the ego
Violet Raven I’m a christian and you’re 100% correct.
I believe in an afterlife. I believe in a heaven. But outside of that, what matters is helping other people. If the end is really just nothingness, who cares? Live a good life. Be the best you can be. And leave the world knowing that it was better with you in it.
This show addressed my biggest fears about death. I don't fear the final door and no longer existing. I really feared getting bored of eternity. I fear being conscious of myself forever. This show made me happy to be alive and hopeful for the next part without having to tie me to a particular religion. If I achieve any good place I really would be happiest with one big party to do whatever I want forever, as long as I can remember the final door
The ending was really good and satisfying...yet it made me feel so sad for Janet...
Poor not-a-girl all alone in the end.
She is okay and I’m sure she’ll make connections with other ppl in the good place
@owlnemo She'll see Michael again when he returns.
Me too, but hopefully Janet will be able to meet the others again, in another life (or afterlife).
She wasn’t alone. Everything basically happens at once to her, so she’s essentially has team cockroach with her for eternity
@@left8277 Oh yes, I forgot that!
Thanks, that makes the ending so much happier :)
The world is a better place because this show exists.
Also significantly less importantly after getting through all four seasons in about a week I am hopelessly in love with D’arcy Carden. Janet is Best Not-a-girl :)
Jayfive276 me too! I love them all but D’Arcy really stood out to me, I even made a fan account for her on instagram XD
She truely is an amazing actor
Seconded, Janet's easily my favourite character, and D'arcy showed that she was able to play "Not a Girl" well, and also the main quartet, and a "Bad" version of Janet. D'arcy deserves ALL of the Emmy nominations!
Janet is my favorite not-a-robot-either.
I watched it in 2 days.
This show was so special. Chidi quoting the Buddhist wisdom about the wave made me cry my eyes out. Damn.
Sameeee
Im not crying you’re crying
If there’s one thing we can take away from The Good Place, it’s that Sartre only got it half right.
Hell may very well be other people, but so is heaven.
Okay did you just come out with that because that's fucking genius and I'm totally stealing it
here come the tears
HOLY SHIRT I DIDN’T REALISE THAT THAT’S SO CLEVER
This sentence doesn't mean what people think it means, but I like your twist on it!
There’s a parable about Heaven and Hell. Hell is a room where everyone’s together hungry and miserable there’s a stew pot in the middle and each person has a ladle tied to an arm but the lasers are to long to reach their mouths. Heaven is the same set up but the people feed each other.
My favorite part of the last two episodes is that just like how the good place was given an exit door, we as an audience were also given that choice. The choice to stop there, with all of our favorite characters happy and together in the good place, or to watch the last episode and metaphorically walk through the final door. And we get to do this in our own time and say goodbye to the show whenever we feel ready to.
Wow I didn't realize this! But you're absolutely right! I remember pausing and wondering what that last episode was.
Forking shirtballs I can't stop crying😭
Your so right... one of the best comments on this video. Thank you, I hope you have a joyous life, filled with satisfaction and victories.
It’s a very nice sentiment and a sweet way to look at it, but realistically that’s not what the writer was thinking when he wrote that...Deciding to stop before the characters walked through the door is not metaphorically synonymous with staying in The Good Place for eternity, just means you’re finishing before it’s over, and The Good Place is never over.
Again it’s a nice way too look at but that’s about it haha :)
I literally did that LOL
I don’t care how long it’s been since the finale I still need more time to heal
Likewise, it's been two weeks, but it feels like no time at all!
me too if it wasn't enough all the tears i cried during the last episode, now i am crying whatching videos about it. i'm a mess
@@trinaq the miracle of jeremy bearimy
TWO WEEKS ALREADY?!
Just found out the finale came out and watched it
I haven’t been able to stop crying all night I swear I’ve been bawling my eyes out and I haven’t cried in so long it feels great
Chidi leaving was what set me off
Kristen Bell remains a national treasure and the entire cast really showed up for this show. I’m going to miss it. Take it sleazy Good place
oh boy that last sentence IM--
What I like most about the ending is that it starts up a cycle where humanity is continually improved over time.
I have a feeling that both bad and good are released every time someone goes into the door. If it was only good, the world would eventually just become the good place; except they live and die without choice.
parsa samani is that so bad?
@@PixlPlayer yes
@@PixlPlayer its unrealistic
@Vladumere the best version of a person who passed their tests goes through, there shouldn't really be any bad, not comparable to the good i guess?
The Take: Chidi references the works of many different philosophers over the course of the show.
Chidi: You put the peeps in the Chili pot and eat them all up! You put the peeps in the Chili pot, then you add the M&Ms. You put the peeps in the Chili pot and it makes it taste bad.
LOl, I loved that scene, and wearing a woman's puple shirt
@@Musicandfilms7 Now, I'm gonna eat this Chili and/or die trying...
That shirt was forking HILARIOUS!
What, who, when, where, wine!
I thought it was a really brave ending. The idea of an afterlife is soothing to us all, whereas they pulled the rug from under us and ending with the idea of no afterlife- of dissolving in to nothingness. The more logical option but not overly comforting. I loved the show- so clever, so funny, so heart warming. I did feel sorry for Janet- even though they got round it by explaining how she experiences time.
They didn't say you definatly cease to exist when you go through the door though
I disagree. I don't think they dissolve into nothingness. I think they dissolve into everything. They become everything
@@melyquez Or perhaps the become moral conscience itself.
Alexander Small I thought that too, especially when the guy has Elenor drop on him and then decide to do the nice thing.
Well if it is any consolation, this is the ending that is been discussed in Buddhism
The show was truly genius
I A truly! I loved every part of it!
You don't understand. I BAWLED my eyes out watching the final episode. This show was so enlightening. One for the history books, I think
For some reason, I cried the hardest when Eleanor woke up after Chidi had left and she found the Bearimy calendar of Chidi. I started to laugh but I was sobbing so hard at that.
Same
@@erinfenwick8942 f*ck romeo and juliet, I want what they had
The show made me think and appreciate life so much more. The wave quote will be something I think about whenever I get upset about the though of death because it's so comforting and calming
The truth is that no one wants to live forever, because everything eventually gets boring... and death shouldn’t be feared because when your dead, you won’t even know it!... the only meaning to life is to love others, eat good food, hang out with puppies, and create a safe place for the future descendants to thrive and enjoy life...
Have you ever watched Alan Watts? He has made speeches about death and life, and how it is silly to fear death. I watched his Relax Your Mind speech
It takes a bit of time, but it's very calming
cameron taylor well that’s not technically true. You do know you’re dead because your brain is still alive for moments after.
@@joebudd6716 why do you have to do this
@@camerontaylor7471 Call me crazy but I actually wouldn't mind living forever I honestly want to see what happens after the universe collapses so scientist say although the first billion years would be boring it would be a sight to behold
bit of an unrelated thing, but nick offerman plays the guy who teaches tahani about woodworking and his character is never given a name, so i’m not saying he’s ron swanson but he’s ron swanson.
I caught that too and screamed when I saw him cause I was so excited haha
I loved that! The credits said Nick Offerman [played by] Nick Offerman. Lovely, happy thing to include
He is playing himself
I CAUGHT THAT TOO!!!
Ron died
That's my take away form the good place lol.
“she makes the bass drop... in my heart” 🥺
Is nobody gonna talk about how they made a show that got us a little interested in ethics? ETHICS. HOW DID THEY DO THAT!?
Krishna is God, and He came to Earth 500 years back, but never left actually because Krishna or God is absolutely present in The Hallowed Name itself. That's why the Good Book says "hallowed be THY name".
Simple is spiritual. 🙄🙏🏻🌹
This might sound over dramatic, but The Good Place has truly helped restore my faith in humanity. As simple as it was, the realization of the point system being flawed in that the world is just more complicated blew my mind. This will always be one of my favorite shows of all time
“ Take it sleazy “
That line made me cry
And laugh
Because Michael finally fulfilled his dream :)
holy forking shirtballs. i never realized that the characters circled back to their fake identities, but are vastly more sincere in their intentions and actions. woah.
That wave speech at the end always gets me. Personally, if there is an afterlife I hope it's like the good place imagined it to be.
Remember though...they spend a considerable amount of time in a paradise for which they themselves fashioned an exit!
It's funny, whenever a show I become deeply invested in ends, I become overwhelmed with emotions and cry. For The Good Place Finale, it was like a calm washing over me. Didn't shed a tear
i feel the same way it feel so soothing and relaxing i really loved it
And I started crying at Jason's last show because I knew that everything he does is so totally him but it will be the last wave he curses because soon there won't be anyone left that's like him.
There is something about a person deciding that this is were his/her wave returns to the ocean that makes me really sad but like Elinor I have to learn to accept when they decide to vanish. It's one of the best ending of a person that you can imagine. Some who is satisfied with his/her waves he/she leaves behind and knows they won't need them anymore.
I’m the same. I loved all the characters so much, but I was almost happy when they walked through the door. They had finished their story, fulfilled their goals. Their wave returned to the ocean.
Yessss!!!! I felt Exactly like that!!
I felt the same, I felt at peace and calm. And I told myself that it was okay that it was over :)
It's very rare a show ends perfectly, this and Parks and Rec just were perfection! I am happy with every character's arc
I had so much sadness bottled up and during the part where Chidi decided he wanted to leave I was just so sad. After Eleanor woke up and I saw the calendar I just started bawling my eyes out. Now whenever I think of Chidi leaving I start crying and the ending was just beautiful
I literally can’t stop crying and it’s amazing me cuz I haven’t cried in so long but I am literally crying so hard rn I tried telling my dad to watch the rest of the show and when I told him how sad the ending is I just started crying again
U told him about the ending? Why would u give him spoilers!!
@@villanelle2.0 I think they just told him that it's sad, not the exact ending, I hope
That's how I was when I watched the episode where Eleanor had to deal with her mother and the fact that she changed her ways and became a "good mom" for someone else. When she told Michael that she used to wish for her mom to be that way with her, I lost it 😭
My dad passed away the day after the finale. It was like they needed to fix the afterlife before he joined them. It helped me .0000099%
Awww I’m so sorry about your dad, he probably became a conscious for someone to make the world just a little better
But no I only told my dad how the ending was sad after he walked in on me crying
I found out that someone I follow died recently, and I dunno, its pretty much broken me up: for the way things ended for her suddenly. She had so much life and purpose going on for her. When she died, I was sad for her... but now, I'm grieving because I'm reminded that one day it will happen to me and the people I love. This take is somehow soothing my anxiety and fears about what happens after.
When your dead you won’t even know it... you are not your body, the true self and living soul of humanity is nature!
Same for me, RIP Qinni
❤qinni❤
I know how that feel
@@camerontaylor7471 - Have you ever seen someone suffer from dementia? As their brain deteriorates their personality alters and disappears until there is nothing left. This pretty much proves we are our body. Our personality and everything we are exists within our brain and when we die we cease to exist. It's even sadder when you see a person you love disappear slowly. Because they seem to be still there in front of you but their brain has deteriorated and so they do not remember you or even themselves.
I cried throughout the entire last episode, both happy and sad tears, and I can't believe watching those scenes and hearing the same dialogues made me cry again... I didn't even cry when my best friend died, why the hell I'm crying at this!!!
Probably because it gives you a sort of relief about your best friend even if you dont realize it
Its easier to process a show ending instead of a life ending. 4 years, 53 episodes at 43 minutes is only 37 hours compared to years of a persons life. it can be really hard to process.
This reminds me of a quote the I heard while reading Rick Riordan’s Son Of Neptune, it goes : Life is only precious cuz it ends, kid.
way better than the "brace yourself kid"
Ya
Chidi leaving is one of the saddest tv show endings ever
It kind of is. But if we think about it, Eleanor will only enjoy and know her true self, her beeest version when she is on her own and overcomes losing her love, the one that literally teached her how to be a better person... I don't know, that's what I think...
The Good Place had one of the most satisfying finales in a long time, especially after the hellpit of shock value that destroyed storytelling last year. I just want to thank and hug the writers of the show for bringing back my faith in screenwriting. You don't have to "shock" people with stupid twists to make a satisfying ending and TGP proved it.

We need more shows like this that consider the nuanced topic of rehabilitation and what makes a "good person"
I cried so much at this especially the part where eleanor asked chidi to be gone before she woke up 😭😭😭
I wonder: can somebody be that sad in the hood place? 😣😟😞
"She makes the bass drop... in my heart". Best compliment ever
My guess, every person who passed that door is born again. Just like that wave metaphor.
Yeah! I thought the solution to fixing the good place was going to be reincarnation, but I guess not hah.
I think it is truly the end. The wave never comes back. The water is still there, but the wave is not, it is over, as is their existence.
Remember when Jason says something like he suddenly realized the air outside his body is the same as the inside? And the others explained a peace of completion come over them? I think last the final door we return to the universe. Formless and pure perfect energy.
@@land417 this is what I thought too!
I think your spirit becomes the "voice in your head" Eleanor kept mentioning. When she crossed it, she turned into dust, that dust fell on a dude on Earth. That dude was about to throw Michael's letter in the trash, because it was given to him by mistake, but after Eleanor's dust hit him, he decided to do the right thing. Your essence inspires other people on Earth to become better. The good person inspires other good people. The wave goes back to the ocean
Manny, Chidi, Jason, Eleanor, Michael, Tahani and Janet. You will be truly missed. This show educated me more about Moral Philosophy and Ethics than my multiple College professors.
Tahani?
Where's Tahani???? Wtf?
Btw you said the actor's real name instead of just Jason?
I’m guessing Tahani autocorrected to Manny
Yeah who is manny lol
@@BrandNewMe93 Manny is the actor who plays Jason lmao!
I thought it was inspirational and heartwarming to see that all of our main character's loved ones - even some people who hurt others and did a lot of harm (Tahani's parents for example) ended up in the real good place! It shows that people have it in themselves to change for the better.
That's not the essential question of The Good Place; it's pretty clearly "What do we owe each other?"
When Chidi said he wanted to go through the door and did, I was crying, then Jason showed up, I though "yay he is still here", and he walked through the door later, I cried again. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. Thanks.
I didn’t know that the show was partially based on “Lost” and now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense, I’m a huge fan of both shows and I think both have meaningful messages.
The Stardust Conspiracy and LOST and the good place are based off of the QARAN and the Islamic state... anything with the LETTER “L”and “J” and “E” and “G” are subliminally referring to and connected to the FREE MASONIC OCCULT/ILLUMINATI ORDER of the ALL seeing EYE the god of ISLAM ALLĀH... people have no clue that every single civilization and the one “PULLING the STRINGS” is the SAUDI ROYAL FAMILY... they hide behind many many many other puppets and figures of power, like the British royal family, the pope Vatican, the Jesuit-Christian religions, etc they all appear to be separate conflicting cultures but are ALL covertly controlled by ISLAMIC STATE! like the United States of AMERICA is owned by the UNITED ARABIAN EMIRATES...
@@camerontaylor7471 tin foil hat intensifies!
The Stardust Conspiracy the good place ended so much better though lmao
I don't think they meant 'based on' but rather 'influenced by'. The same way that fantasy post 2011 was influenced by game of thrones
@@sergiovela7686 yeah you're right that's what i meant
in the end, as michael (almost) said way back when, the real good place was the friends we made along the way
While I love that Eleanor became the very essense of selflessness... I like to think that Jason was reborn as a baby with 2 moms in their 40s who could give them all the adult mom love he never got.
that is so sweet!
Jason was remade as Michael's pet dog. Though what sucks, is that real dogs and animals can't go to the good place.
@@YujiUedaFan , no he just named his dog like that cause Jason's personality was that of a big dumb but lovable dog.
@@YujiUedaFan now I wanna cry 😭 how can you say I won't see my dogs in TGP? Is there a Good Place for dogs? Can I go there instead? 😭😂😞😂😭🤣
As someone who doesn't think there's an afterlife, watching the series finale just hit me. Call it existential crisis, call it feeling of loneliness, but it stuck with me for days. And it wasn't even my favourite show or anything (or my favourite finale), but it was something.
The ending was something truly special. It didn’t answer all the questions and as bittersweet as the ending was it was the only way to end it. God I’m gonna miss this show.
This is what happens when a show has a satisfying finale. Now "The Good Place" will live forever as the perfect show, even after it ended!
It’s so strange, when Chidi chose to leave it actually made me bawl my eyes out. It really made me miss and appreciate all the loves ones who have left me . Really beautiful ending to the show ❤️
I have done my own inner journey since "The Good Place". I love who I am. I've never been able to say before. "The air in my lungs is equal to the air around me." and it feels good. :)
I'm so glad to hear that 💜💜
Cool ....Hare Kṛṣṇa! 🌹🕉️
great, now i'm crying again. The wave returns to the ocean.
The Good Place is definitely the best show ever
So light and yet so beautifully profound
I cannot state enough how much I adore and cherish this show. A tv show that actually made me want to be a better person.
I wish we could have more Eleanor as the master Architect and playing with mortals.
I miss Eleanor and Chidi so much.
When I heard the wave analogy it resonated with me. While I don't believe in an afterlife, I thought how lucky I am to have known good people some of whom are no longer with us and instead of having regret I had an epiphany that I was lucky to have them be willing to call me their friend. A truly inspiring series which opened my eyes to many things.
I miss this show so much already❤️
So unique and funny and sweet
Likewise, I love how there's more to it than initially meets the eye, and it can get surprisingly insightful and philosophical for a sitcom!
Trina Q absolutely it was surprisingly deep at times. As it ended I read somewhere that this would most likely be the last great network TV comedy
This was an incredible show that wrapped up perfectly, but I want more 😭
I'm so grateful to the good place for being a great show from start to finish, with one of the best, most thoughtful endings I have ever seen. Soooo many series putter out or lose themselves in the process of trying to stay afloat

Let's just take a moment to realized how many shows endings were ruined by this video.
Yeah...I was not expecting that at all. It was a thoughtful and interesting video, but if I had known beforehand that a bunch of shows' endings (some that I've watched and some that I haven't) would be spoiled, I probably wouldn't have watched it.

Yunus Emre is talking to god in here, Allah specifically. He doesn’t feel satisfied with the promised beauties of the good place, he longs eternity and beauty through god itself. Often this poem is read as Yunus Emre’s love towards god but I think half the charm of these sentences comes from admitting that what god has offered us as a prize is still just earth but better. I as a believer think that that is done this way so even the most “morally corrupted” can be persuaded to behave the way god wants, by threats and prizes. But if you see beyond earth, which is what most religions ask of their people, then you’ll no longer want those prizes or have a reason to fear those threats and eventually you’ll end up discarding them all to reach god.
Weird. What we have been promised and have strived for, the good place, is in actuality just the last thing we need to give up to reach the best place.
At least that’s how I see it.
This comment was amazing to read. Thank you!
Damm I just realized I relate to Chidi a lot. Also the intense nervous stomach aches, that too.
I wish we would have seen more of Disco Janet!

Ever think of doing a video for the Weird Girl trope?
Totally, that would be DIVINE, especially with Wednesday Addams, Lydia Deetz and Allison Reynolds being in the thumbnail!
listen....ashley from the middle
The Best Friend (Barb Holland, Dionne from Clueless, the Duff, Bridget Jones's friends, Token Black, Chuckie Finster), Not So Merry Housewife (Marge Simpson, Karen Wheeler, Desperate Housewives), The Girly Girl and Tomboy (discuss with brains and beauty), Also the Modern Curse of Curves (why anyone with curves or of size is made to lament their bodies)
I think they did a few weeks ago
"Wait until Beyonce gets here, ask her to fix it" made me laugh so hard
The dreariness of immortality in The Good Place and the option to check out to who knows where reminded me of the fate of Elves vs. humans in Tolkien's Middle Earth.
“The people who love you will miss you” - God
... wait... keanu?
is god?
makes sense

This show is a masterpiece. Its meaningful and deep, while also being silly and random. Ive watched it 3 times through and it never gets old
I've watched alot of series/sitcoms.
I have to say The Good Place finale is among top 5. Many great shows fumble on how to properly end their shows and let their fans have closure to the characters they fall in love with for the duration of the run, maybe years.
The Good Place, like this video mentioned, went back to the root and the beginning of the show for its finale. It doesn't over explains stuffs the writers really don't know, in this case afterlife. It just leave a tiny bit of ambiguity for the viewers. Not really a happy ending, nor is it a sad ending but definitely a satisfying one.
I was so afraid this show would go the way of so many others, just going on and on until it turned to shit and then cancelled.
I'm sad it ended, but it's a good thing. A good end.
Huh, in a way, the show is like the Good place. It's good because there is an end.
Agreed. What are your other fave finales?
Unbelievable! Such a long video and you didn't nail it! THEY DO GIVE THE ANSWER AT THE END!!! At the end they become voices of consciousness. That little voice that help you doing good deeds. That was it! You should really watch the very last minutes of that last episode!
This made me cry again
A lot! Even more than during the episode because I didn't realize all 4 characters fulfill what Michael said to have achieved while on Earth.
I KNOW I didn't really cry watching the finale (it was very calming and soothing for my existential anxiety) but watching this the next day and realising how everything came full circle I'm just sitting her crying happy tears :')
This show was such a ride i dont think ill ever forget it
Was I the only one that cried so much on The Good Place 4 finale? :(
anyway, good post, didn't notice the "Eleonor's spark" falling on the man shoulder
Also, I feel that they chose ‘take it sleazy’ to be the show’s final line as a way of closing a chapter or saying goodbye to the fans of the show.
Legacy, how you are remembered by the people you've interacted with though out your entire life. Your wisdom, your humor and all of the deeds you did in life, large and small. I will admit, I've never seen the show but I think that's the message.
The ending really surprised me. I was expecting something like that’s they have forever to do stuff. It was such a deep ending a lot like the office which was written by the same man !
I cried throughout the last episode. This video me teary eyed again.
The most satisfying series finale EVER. All other show creators take notes!
I love this show, it’s a real gem 💎 Also everyone knows the definitive answer to life, the universe and everything is 42 😇

I think I finally understand why death was a gift to man in lord of the rings, a series in which most of the characters are extremely long lived or truly immortal
This video was good however I need everyone to wish me luck,I have a meeting at the bank later and if all goes well,I will be out of debt. I'm so excited I can barely put on my ski mask
You got it, fish! Go at it with all you've got!
EXCUSE ME SIR
Just don't hide in a safe.

I just watched it in Netflix today because In my country it only came yesterday. The ending was bittersweet for sure, I cried a ton. I hope that whoever is reading this, it is a sign for you to do what is the desire of your heart. It is scary, so why not do it while being scared. We only live ONCE, make it your Own.
I saw the ending of the show as when you walk through the door you become someone’s ‘little voice in their head’
I just feel sad that Janet is going to be all alone. The good place already had their own Janet. What's she gonna do now? Just hang around. She's the most evolved janet. And with what we saw of Derrick in the finale.... Imagine JANETS potential if Derrick became whatever the hell he became
She experiences everything all at once, she isn't alone. because she is still with earlier versions.
She will eventually go throught the door.
@@inakiaraquistain5731 She can't shes not human. Michael had to turn human for him to go through.
JANET SPINOFF
Here's the thing... we NEVER cease to exist. What gets annihilated is our 'false' ego... what we THINK we are... not what we Truly are.
We are pure Awareness... THAT which has never been born, and never dies.
We are THAT which is the Source ... and Witness of all experiences.
To fully Realize one's underlying CONSTANT SELF... which is the SAME in all... that's Enlightenment.
Wow... that’s beautiful. I really find peace with that idea
in terms of how satisfying the ending was - the good place is one of the best shows. Honestly. I dont remember a series of books or a tv show or a movie franchise ending and living me in such content
I had never heard the wave analogy before the last episode. I found it to be very inspiring and, oddly enough, very comforting. Powerful. Anyone else feel the same?
After finishing up my requirements for my last year of college, I finally was able to watch The Good Place. I never felt this feeling of sad before. I've never been good a goodbyes and I guess this is just one of them.
i think nick offerman the man who popped up in the good place is ron swanson cause in parks and rec , he was obsessed with wood making so im guessing that ron swanson have passed away
Holy shit the cross show implications from parks and rec to the good place.
Ron has died guys.
"What We Owe to Each Other" is out of print.
It is fricking out of print.
The Good Place and Bojack ending at the same time in my life and Ive been binging all vids by the take on both shows. thanks you for making them team The Take
this series has changed my entire outlook on my life and the choices I have made and the choices I will make, it was an incredible show to me and the way I relate to the characters and what they go through made me learn things about myself. glad I watched it awesome job to everyone involved on the making of it 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
