Who's bad

One of the famous quotes of season 3 is from Michael, "Don't you understand? The Bad Place isn't tampering with points, they don't have to, because every day the world gets a little more complicated, and being a good person gets a little harder."

It makes you think, because the world is quite complicated, and it makes me wonder what is in store for season 4 as I binge watch The Good Place.

The all but called out the problem by name

"Don't you understand? The Bad Place isn't tampering with points, they don't have to, because every day the world gets a little more complicated, and being a good person gets a little harder"

The Bad Place doesn't need to tamper with the points because of capitalism. The Doug of the past lived in a world without it, and it was easy to be good. But capitalism is the root of most of the worlds problems, from wars, slavers, ceo's, corporations, and so on. All BAD Things that contribute to the destruction of earth and corruption of people.

This Episode all but named capitalism out for the evil atrocity it is.

This is a great show!

I loved this

"Every day the world gets a little more complicated, and being a good person gets a little harder" must be one of the best things said on this show and we all know it's filled with great content. Explains so much in our day and age when trying to navigate through all the organic, eco-friendly, PC cultures feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Can't wait to see what this show will bring us next

A Bunch of Lies

Season 3 has lost some of the charm of the series. Things don't make sense anymore.

This episode is interesting to watch, but the outcomes are bad.

The idea that the bad guys are not tampering the system is illogical. I have in mind that thus is just a series, wrote by common persons but here they missed something huge. KIDS. I mean come on, if a three year old kid dies in a car accident and doesn't get into the Good place of this series, the system is screwed. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that. 500 years and no innocent kids in the Good Place?? This is becoming a big joke.

Then, Eleanor and Chidi's part here with their date wasn't good. They didn't look like themselves. How can she try to break the door to enter the good place?? That's selfish. At least Chidi wasn't desperate. Learn from your mistakes, That's a lesson some characters forget.

I didn't like either how the committee of Good was portrayed. A bunch of nice guys without being able to reason, to put their minds to work. At some point, comedy has to step aside.

As for the deal with Janet, Tahani, Jason, it's getting complicated. That problem should have been solved several episodes ago.
