Chillaxing

This episode is one of the best things ever to be on television. Ever. It is amazing. Wonderful. Fantastic. Mind-blowing. Surprising. Original. Get the thesaurus. This episode gets 10 stars to the 10th power. I love you, Michael Schur!!!

What was a truly original story and amazing adventure in the first three series but has become lack lustre and almost predictable in the fourth. Its like a vacation resort where everyone needs cheering up and one or two need to learn a lesson, how boring. Thus far the premise has been the same in every episode this season - copies with a different script. This making progress with each person is mind numbingly hard work to watch. The holiday resortesque backdrop is really really lame. It worked for introductory purposes earlier on but now just seems ridiculous. These people are dead, not retired in Florida. I'm reviewing this at episode 3 so I'm open to the possibility of improvement but I'm not holding my breath. The episodes are far too short - 20min - so there's not much time - something left field better happen, and happen soon!

I have to say, this episode was pretty touching. I connected on a lot of levels with much of what the characters were feeling. The writers stay true to their beliefs in this episode which is why I think it's a classic. The character development continues as our four stars continue their path to becoming better versions of themselves. "Chillaxing" left me with a good feeling afterwards, which is what I'm looking for when watching The Good Place, and still managed to contribute to the plot. Jokes were spot on as well.

9/10

I finally started to laugh in this season. There were good jokes. It made me feel like I'm watching season 1.
