The Friday Link for 10/18/19

For this week, I'm sharing what has become one of my favorite shows, The Good Place.

What I like most about The Good Place is how well it's written, and how well those lines are delivered.  This is one of those shows where there are so many jokes, some episodes you need to rewatch to catch everything.

The cast is exceptional starting with America's sweetheart Kristen Bell, but at any point, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto, Ted Danson or D'Arcy Carden steals a scene or an episode.  A special shout out to Danson who's doing his best TV since Cheers and the unbelievably talented Carden whose Janet is such a pivotal character on the show.

Also the gags are relentless and hilarious.  The references to how people are tortured in The Bad Place, the mocking of Jacksonville and Florida as a whole, and the occasional deep cut ethics and philosophy references/puns are great.  There's a moment in Season One where demons are forcing Ted Danson's character to dance while they karaoke the Nixon Tapes (you read that right).  It's freaking brilliant!

For this week, here are the blooper reels for Seasons 1, 2, and 3. Of course there's some naughtier language, so you've been warned!







Catch the first three season of The Good Place on Netflix and the final season is currently airing on NBC.  Have a great weekend everyone!
