The Good Place: Live Panel Discussion

I don't rate individual TV episodes, because I like to keep my ratings to just movies and entire shows so my list of ratings don't get too cluttered or out of control. Rest assured, however- this is a 10/10 episode.

The Good Place proved to be a very interesting journey. For me at least, perhaps it wasn't the most consistent show, but when it was great, it was seriously great. The first season was pretty good up until that fantastic twist in the season finale, which set up a great season 2, which then segued to a less stunning but still quite satisfying season 3. Season 4 I had mixed feelings on, but I had faith in Michael Schur and the rest of the cast and crew, and thankfully my faith was rewarded with this excellent finale.

It's rare for a show to have one of its best episodes be the finale (there's a certain show about dragons and stuff that finished last year, which comes to mind as one that ended as a disappointment to most). But perhaps other than the season 1 finale, this might be the finest single episode of The Good Place.

So why am I rambling on without saying anything specific about what made it great? It's because I'm afraid of ruining anything. I went in with moderately high expectations and no knowledge of what would happen, and I was moved, surprised, and entertained beyond what I imagined I would be. This is coming from someone who likes the show a lot, but hasn't unequivocally loved every single episode.

This finale did not disappoint. Fear not, anyone who thought The Good Place wouldn't stick the landing, especially if you were like me and found season 4 overall slightly weaker than what came before. This ending made it all worth it. Shows as interesting and quirky and likeable as The Good Place don't come around too often, and now that it's all over, I'm thankful for the time I spent watching it.

Felt all manner of feelings during this finale. Definitely not the ending I was expecting, which was what made this finale so great. Glad they touched on some tertiary character storylines and didn't neglect them. Really was a unique narrative journey..

The good place wraps up after 4 seasons, in one of the best ways I could have imagined. I loved the run this show had and loved all of the characters. The connection you feel to each person is is unparalleled. I am sad that it's finished, but I think it was the right time to go. The writing has not only been hilarious, but deeply sad and thought provoking at times. This is one of the only shows where I had no idea where the next episode was going to go. Each season surprised me in the best way. It's so easy to look past some of the things this show has achieved, the incredible set and costume design had continued to blow me away. The good place will always be a special show that I can come back to and enjoy. Sometimes, something ending so soon, can make it feel infinitely more special

This might just be one of the best hour of tv I've ever experienced in my life, i can't begin to describe how much i love this episode. It felt like the proper perfect closure and they somehow gave every character the most suiting ending. It was emotional, funny, heartwarming, nostalgic, awesomely written and showed cased the best acting of the series. The waved hit the shore with this last episode but the water of this unique tv series remains for every bearimy.

Along with (blackdder goes forth - Cheers - TBBT) that was one of the best Finales that I've ever seen "in a comedy genres show" it was absolutely brilliant and extremely well written
