Holy shirt-balls! It seemed inevitable with how good the first two seasons are, but NBC renewing their whimsical comedy THE GOOD PLACE for a third season. For those who aren’t aware, THE GOOD PLACE is about a woman named Eleanor (Kristen Bell) who dies and goes to “The Good Place”…only we discover that she’s not supposed to be in the Good Place. Shenanigans ensue.
The premise does sound a bit hokey, and the promos didn’t do it any favors. But great word of mouth got me to try it, and I’m glad I did. I binged the whole first season in one sitting, it was so addictive! And Ted Danson – as Eleanor’s supportive mentor (and something more)- deserves all the Emmys! If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely check it out!
While there’s no set date for the third season, the rest of the second season will start up again January 4th.
