The Good Place - Most Improved Player

After revealing herself as the source of the trouble in The Good Place, Eleanor (Kristen Bell) sits down with Michael (Ted Danson) to discuss her future and her past. Of course things are complicated by the recent murder and reboot of Janet (D’Arcy Carden) whose help in retrieving Eleanor’s file leads to a (surprisingly funny) running gag of the computer program constantly confusing any request for that of a cactus. While Eleanor does good on the basic questionnaire (suck it Bachelor viewers!), things get a bit more complicated when Janet finally locates the missing file. Once again, we get highlights of Eleanor’s life on Earth, this time in her deposition to Michael as she describes a series of events with her friend Madison (Angela Trimbur), who, through Eleanor’s actions became to be known as “The Dress Bitch.”

The Good Place - Jason Mendoza

The relief Eleanor (Kristen Bell) feels at discovering she isn’t the only one mistakenly let into heaven is short lived as she discovers Jianyu (Manny Jacinto) isn’t so much a wise Buddhist monk but a failed idiot DJ from Jacksonville, Florida, named Jason Mendoza. Tired of living a lie, something we see Jason did plenty of in his old life, Jianyu nearly comes clean to the entire community forcing Eleanor to take drastic action to prevent the truth from coming out and getting both herself and Jianyu sent to Hell.

The Good Place - Tahani Al-Jamil

Eleanor Shellstrop’s (Kristen Bell) determination to prove that her neighbor Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil) is an awful person leads her to spend some time with her neighbor, eventually admit her mistake, make a new friend, and discover that she isn’t the only member of The Good Place who doesn’t belong. Continuing to show us Eleanor’s selfish behavior before her death, “Tahani Al-Jamil” continues to allow the character to grow in the afterlife (while fighting her initial instincts). The discovery that Tahani’s silent soul mate Jianyu (Manny Jacinto) was also wrongly added to the community suggests Michael (Ted Danson) wasn’t ready to oversee his own heavenly suburb. It also raises the question, what else might be wrong?

The Good Place - Pilot

Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) wakes up in the afterlife to learn she’s died and made it into an exclusive community in heaven simply called “the Good Place” where her soulmate Chidi (William Jackson Harper) is waiting and she can look forward to a blissful eternity. There is however one problem. It seems Eleanor only got into heaven because of a clerical error. Sure, the saleswoman was no murderer, but she did sell fake medicine to old people (among other flaws), and didn’t exactly earn her cushy spot in paradise.
