I've been meaning to commend the Netflix comedy show The Good Place for some months, and after watching the first episode of the second season last night, it's time to do it.
The show has been a hit with most critics, and deservedly so. It's rare to find something that is so intelligent, so well acted by every single cast member, and so frequently very funny. (Its humour is not timed for every 60 seconds, as it is for "filmed before a live studio audience" sitcoms, but nonetheless it is continually amusing.) Also, it's good to see Ted Danson in something as classy as this after his long run in pretty B grade sitcom material.
I was a bit dubious about the scenario set up for the second series, but the first episode (well, sort of two episodes combined) was very good. Not sure they'll manage to wrangle a 3rd series though!
