The Good Place, but the end might be an 11.
I have a question about this show that I mean in absolute good faith but be forewarned that it’s going to come off in a “I am actually very smart” way.
Tap for spoiler
Are you meant to know from the beginning that they aren’t actually in the good place? I’ve seen enough episodes of “The Twilight Zone” to know that if someone tells you that you’re in the “good place” then you are absolutely not in the “good place”. With this knowledge I felt that I couldn't take it even the amount of seriously that it asked.Is it me? Am I the problem? Or is it the children who are wrong?
I just watched the whole series recently. Yes, I agree, that big twist was so blindingly obvious from the series title. If it helps, the producers and writers knew that, too, and the reveal comes relatively early in the series, so no, that's not the big conceit of the whole show.
~~Your spoiler tags aren't working.~~
It's something you can pick up on, but if you don't, it's an interesting twist. But the show isn't "over" just because you predicted it! There's still so much more.
For me (using boost for lemmy) the spoiler tag is working
Ah damn, looks like a problem with my client. Sorry, please ignore that!
11? They phoned in the end, very disappointing. It was an easy out to a complex situation.
They had that ending planned from the beginning. It's one of my top endings of all time
Really? It's one of my favorite show endings because it doesn't take the easy way out.
I dropped off after the first season, I thought Ted Danson was amazing but I found the rest of the cast grating.
