Trivia
On January 4, 2019, a video appeared on The Good Place YouTube feed entitled "Janet's Void: What Actually Happens When * BING *". It consists of five hours of Janet standing around in her void, occasionally disappearing. You Tube commentators soon noticed that her disappearances were about 22 minutes long, the length of an episode.

Goofs
The first time Eleanor and Chidi meet, Chidi claims that he is speaking French but the Good Place translates it into a language Eleanor understands. Yet in flashbacks on Earth he is seen speaking and writing in English.

In Everything Is Fine (2016) he says that he is multilingual. He grew up in Senegal, but also lived in Paris and Sydney.

Quotes
Michael: You humans take something wonderful and ruin it just a little bit so you can have more.

Alternate versions
Most of the episodes have extended versions which are available to stream at the NBC website and Hulu, and included in the Blu-ray releases.

Connections
Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Chelsea Clinton/Ted Danson/Bishop Briggs/Stanton Moore (2016)

A feel good show with a stronger message underneath

I love this show. It's a feel good comedy that's lighthearted and will make you laugh while still trying to get some good life lessons across. You also don't need to search to find the deeper meaning in the show, its made blatantly obvious, but its not heavy.

Kristen Bell is quirky and lovable in this, and the rest of the cast is an odd blend of characters that just mix so well together. The acting and writing is phenomenal and the production is bright and cheerful and pleasant to watch.

NBC is winning this season with new shows.

I definitely recommend it.
