"What about The Good Place? Have you watched it?" a friend asked me recently when we were discussing our ideas about must-see TV.
"It's on the list," I shrugged, "but we haven't gotten to it yet."
"It's both really entertaining and deeply philosophical," she told me, which I considered high praise.
That conversation stuck with me because the other night, when we were looking for something relatively short to fit into our tight TV schedule, I pulled up the show. Of course, we knew the premise: an undeserving woman finds herself in heaven, but her presence seems to be causing unexplained problems in paradise. And we knew the cast, too: Kristen Bell and Ted Danson were both actors we liked.
But what I was unprepared for was how funny it is. I can't remember the last time I really laughed at a television show, but Heidi and I both giggle at every episode. So tonight? I'm going to make sure we watch another one. Because it really does feel great to laugh!
Your comments have me thinking I'll watch it again.
