ABOUT THE GOOD PLACE
From creator Michael Schur (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Master of None”) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person. The show follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who enters the afterlife, and thanks to some kind of error, is sent to the Good Place instead of the Bad Place (which is definitely where she belongs). While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson - “Cheers,” “CSI” - in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot.

Jason existing silently in the forest is probably the moment that killed me the most. I don't even fully understand why.
fr. he waited all that while just to give that necklace. oh. tears.
He came full circle, the man who couldn't spare a thought for anyone else, the man who pretended to be a monk for selfish reasons in (what he thought was) literal heaven, spent hundreds of years waiting to make someone elses life better knowing that she didnt even experience those hundreds of years as he did, and in doing so he found the enlightenment that few if any true monks have ever found before him. It is beautiful. It is the most perfect ending to a character I can imagine.
@@tresden1174 Also, the fact that he learned to centre himself and be at peace and contemplate the limits of the universe (it's Jason we're talking about, y'all), that he overcame his impulsiveness and did not get distracted from his mission and simply waited until the right Janet showed up, without even trying to summon her. ... Oh man, I never thought I'd see the day. It was beautiful and heartbreakingly wholesome beyond anything I ever expected
@@Stonytude yep exactly! Impulsivity was Jason’s main character flaw, but he learned to listen, watch, and wait in the end. When he was forced to be a monk, it was torture because it was the exact opposite of his personality. Now it is a part of his personality.
it made me cry so much, he waited for janet for a thousand bearimys. 🥺
I’m jealous of anybody watching the good place for the first time
Edit: people are replying saying they’re on season one or haven’t even started it yet. Why are you watching this video then? 😂😂
Good old days
i remember seeing the question on google "why are jason and tahani in the bad place?" and thinking that they got sent there by shawn the judge. holy forking shirt balls, i was in for a treat.
@@huntyrf1786 You sure were
this is truly true, my friend
going through it with the wife and kid at the moment. about to start season 4
D'arcy saying "I'm really okay, I promise" as she wipes away tears is quite the mood.
Didnt she look so sad during this episode?
@@angelessoto4615 she really did, and it broke my ♡
time?
@@sylvielane7333 10:25
I feel so bad
I love that in the end, they became what they were in the first episode with Jason a peaceful monk, Eleanor a woman who does everything good for the good of others, Chidi a wise great philosophical mind and teacher, and Tahani someone who does good for others and works towards making the lives of others better
wow so true, good observation
Eleanor's stubbornness and hope literally saves the entirety of humanity from hell - literally a lawyer that saves uncountable people from death row, exactly what she was faking to be
@@rosealkamisi7257For Chidi it was more like he became a decisive and confident person. That was his arc. He had always been a great philosophical mind since episode 1. His war was more on his indecisiveness and overthinking and self doubt. In the end, he becomes so sure of himself that he wants to go through the door and no one, not even Eleanor, could stop him.
I’m happy that this show didn’t go on and on. It’s end felt more, planned. They’ve always been one step ahead of us. Always keeping us guessing. I have questions, but everything that matters is taken care of,
Literally perfect ♥️
Lol
Yes!
Michael Shur planned it since the first season.
Makes you appreciate the show all the more.
I’d like to believe that this show’s version of the afterlife is real. I hope that when I do pass the test, I get to see my dad and spend some Bearimys with him.
I hope so too :)
I honestly prefer this to what heaven is potrayed as
I feel the same. My dad passed away when I was 20 years old, I made him a promise that I would take him to one of the fancy coffee shops in our hometown, that I would order for him the most expensive drink. And I want to belive this show's version of the afterlife does exist, so I can have a chance to do that. Like to actually go through the door, we must have no regret left, right?
Aww this made me so happy and sad at the same time. Really hope you get to see him again 😊💕
@@snovaspectre2 what heaven is portrayed as is far better I feel like, cos u don't have to earn ur way in the best place with the best Love (God). it's completely done by Jesus.
D'Arcy Carden crying while she says her lines about Jason leaving really shows how important the show was to them and how much love t hey put into their character that she felt so strong about their fictional relationship
And her husband’s name is Jason, so extra brownie points!
And William (Chidi) patting her back🥹😢
She also had the hardest part, she had to say goodbye to three of them, well, 4 including Michael ! - She was amazing though, I cried every time.
And she's wearing a Cheers sweatshirt!
I love D'arcy so much; you can tell she has so much heart. Also, her relationship with Jason was just so heartwarming, it's great to see that it translated off-screen as well and meant as much to Manny and her. J+J otp baby
What if the reason Chidi felt peace when he saw Eleanor interacting with their parents was because he knew she wasn't alone anymore even if he left but then he saw that she didn't believe/know that so that's why he agreed to stay
That makes a lot of sense.
Oh my goodness. I just finished the finale today and was pondering why that moment was the moment he knew. I thought it had something to do with how even if something is wiped away, it doesn't meen it wasn't there or wasn't meaning ful or remembered. How truly lovely Chidi Anagonye is.
I read someone speculating that it was when he saw her finally recieving that parental love and affection she had grown up without 🥲
Wasn’t planning on crying today but here we are.
It's ok. The show returned to the ocean... where it's supposed to be.
Ben Pomeranz wdym
@@sebm-c3858 I believe that is a reference to the scene where Eleanor and Chidi say goodbye to each other
So much this.
I was like "naww, ive seen this episode plenty of times..i wont cry!" 9 minutes in and im weeping
"I'm sure this will be totally fine and I'll be totally fine!"
D'arcy: *starts crying*
Me: *starts crying*
Time?

i just finished this show. i forking love it so forking much
what are you doing here 8illy, the avatar has escaped, that piece of shirt
yoooooo billy
Hi billy
What the fork, why cant i say fork
So I bawled my eyes out. Wish I watched it sooner
Janet with the "Oh dip." when she realizes what Jason is doing gets me every time. Immediate waterworks
Damn, Michael Schur's speech in the beginning was really something
he’s a writer, what can i tell ya?
im a snack
will rubbing Darcy’s back when she starts to cry is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen
god that part BROKE ME
They all cry and comfort each other through the read and it hits hard each time.
Please anyone got a minute mark?
@@ohboilien 9:30
I just came to this part and then immediately checked to see if someone else noticed. I think I’m gonna cry too.
Couple of realizations:
1. The table read has exactly the same connection and emotion between the characters. Which means the chemistry is real.
2. This story, the progression of the characters, the humour and the emotion is just rediculously interwoven.
3. It's just as much fun to watch it for the second time. The storyline works so well and there are so many hints given throughout. It really feels like a really well thought out novell.
I had a realisation myself- Mindy was literally the best person ever in the last 521 years.
How long did it take for you to binge?

I struggle with death a lot. I have such an irrational fear of death, I so desperately don’t want to die that I get suicidal about my fear of death (I know it makes no sense).
I watched this show because it fed into my fantasy and escapism that the death is not the end. That we can continue to live on and have grand adventures.
I’m still where Eleanor is at in the finale, still unable to accept death, still unable to accept moving on. I hope I can get to where she takes that step and accepts it, but part of me also wishes I won’t. I don’t know. As hard as life is, I love living even with all its struggles. I feel like surviving the struggle and living for love makes life really beautiful. It still gives me anxiety to think about death but I just think to myself: “Eh, take it sleazy.”
that's exactly how i feel. you put it into words so beautifuly, thank you for that.
Hi PD! Such beautiful words and very accurate
Everybody feels a bit like you do, though maybe you feel it more than most. I find it really helps to think of how Elinor explains what it means to be human to Michael. We all go around knowing for sure that we're going to die, and it makes us all feel a little bit sad. But that's ok, that's what it is to be human and it's the one big thing we all have in common.
Take it sleazy, my friend.
I used to feel the way you do. Not in the same way, but even the idea of something being so final filled me with a dissatisfied dread. Then I started to think about it in a different way.
Most people throughout history we know nothing about. And even the people we can identify, one could argue we know even less. But each of those people had some kind of effect on the other people around them and their environment and through that chain of events I became the person who I am. We are all an amalgamation of the people we interact with, and I hope that even if no one ever knows my name that I can have a positive impact on someone who will then influence someone else to have a better life. In that way, I DO live on forever in that chain of events, and hopefully also have a hell of a lot of fun in the process.
If this is all we have, then I’m going to try to live it well, even if that means being horribly disappointed about not learning all the secrets of the universe. If there’s more, then that’s just a bonus.
Well, I mean, Christianity offers escape from the trials of this life and hope beyond the end. It answers difficult questions and forces us to confront truths about ourselves that aren't comfortable, but through examination can foster change.
Yes, Christianity has been bastardized over the centuries and used as a tool for abuse, but in its purest form it offers nothing but a surety of hope.
The way Kristen touches Will’s arm and says her line “leave before I wake up” and they just smile at each other is where I broke

@@johnneveu1718 really? in what episode?
@@johnneveu1718 really wow what episode?
I think this show has one of the best final episodes I’ve ever seen. It leaves you completely satisfied that every loose end is tied up. Which is exactly how the characters felt at the end. It was perfect. I cried the first time I watched it and you bet I cried again watching this video. Several times. I miss this show so much but I don’t want it back. It finished exactly when and how it was supposed to. That’s the beauty of The Good Place. It truly was a perfect show 💛
The beautiful thing is you can go back to it years later and it will be a perfect project. You don't get better than that.
And that's the point of the finale. That the end is the end and it's satisfying.
Just came from watching the finale, I agree. That ending was literally the definition of catharsis.
@@amandaong333 even though it was only 4 seasons it never outstayed it's welcome which like so many other series could've happened
oh my gosh, you've summed it up perfectly here. this is EXACTLY how I feel about this show and its finale.
that look on Jason's face when he looked at the crowd happily dancing to his music in The Good Place when everyone hated and booed him off back on Earth really hit me for some reason.
Seeing the actor who plays Shawn try not to cry at Jason and Janet in the woods and then the facepalm laugh at "brush my teeth with a cat" is just everything.
I am so thrilled they posted this. The finale gave me happy tears. Now, on a more serious note, Janet, when you see Chadwick Boseman, do us all a favor and make sure the Black Panther suit is waiting for him, along with whatever else he wants, thank you.
I believe he didn't even have to get the test. ❤️
Or maybe doing it so well, now he's in The Good Place right forking now. 🙏
@@StephaniePutriDiasti Perfectly said, yes. He's there right now and his test was to demolish Thanos just for the Judge's entertainment, which he did!
God this comment makes me cry even before I start watching this video
wow this really made me cry. i hope you're enjoying your time in the good place, chadwick. you forking legend. i hope it's better there than it is on earth because you deserve it.
Also, dont marry black panther... and aquaman.
This is truly a forking good show and that’s on you benches
lol yesssss
It really is the shirt
It's refreshing that a show knows when to bow out gracefully, while they are still at the top of their game creatively, instead of waiting until it becomes a shell of its former self. I hate it when good shows over do it and end up jumping the shark. No show can stay going forever without having a severe drop in quality.
Agreed
Agreed. I feel like they accomplished exactly what they needed to in 4 seasons. They let the show breathe but didn’t drag it out.
Doctor who?
@@whereami3501 Being a huge Whovian myself, I understood that reference. The RTD1 era was amazing (the fact that it revived the show, and was incredible besides the point, was just, wow). I understand what you mean. Series 4 and a lot of its final episodes were enough to make a lot of fans satisfied had it been the Series conclusion. I’m kind of a Moffat fanboy myself, and Capaldi is my Doctor. That said, I can’t wait for the RTD2 era! It’ll be Fantastic!
I'm sorry, Chicago PD will always be good.
From "Sorry, we're closed" in 1993 to "Take it sleazy" in 2020, Ted Danson now has two separate instances of ending incredible shows with a one liner followed by closing the door behind him.
what show is in 1993?
Cheers
The fact that Marc Evan Jackson showed up in a bowtie makes me love him so much
We Stan Marc
The way he looked for a tissue for a while and wiped away a tear around 14:48... that got me man
@@sie_tanzt i never knew that I would eventually tear up to a silly line like that.
You know, for years, scientists have wondered, can you make grown men and women cry with the words "Take it sleazy." and the answer is yes, you can, as long as it is preceded by all of The Good Place.
And on the other hand... when we start it again... holy shirt.
I didnt cry for the whole episode, and that words said by Michael, it broke me and makes me cry and unable to talk for hours.
I wish I can re-experience the first time watching The Good Place again.
The way Ted Danson sits back at 19:44 so that Jameela and Kristen's heart to heart moment can include some eye contact is forking amazing. What a cast.
aww oh my god that’s made me so much happier/sadder
You mean emmy nominee America's sweetheard Ted Danson.
I'm gonna miss the Busty Alexa, Legit Snack, Silver Fox, Rockin Bod, Jacked up Chidi, and the Man with the most impressive Jawline ever.

I did this whole show in a week during the height of lockdown. It really is special.
In fact Chidi's "the wave returns to the ocean" will stay with me forever.
Oh wow! That’s a lot to absorb in one week, never mind one quarantine week!
i always lose it that point, and have to stop the video for a bit.
@@garethspotfur1 existential dread is so confusing.
I had a girlfriend once (we didn't believe in afterlife and such) who asked/said
"so when we die that is it? there's nothing else? how can it be? I cannot..."
I feel like that some times still. The wave analogy is not completely consoling either.
I agree with you about Chidi and the wave. I think of it often and cry every single time he delivers that line when I rewatch the series.
love how poorly mic’d up the entire room actually is
Ikr 😆
The way Ted lights up and smile at 56:32, when he reads Mary's name on the script, is so genuine and sweet. I hope to find love like that someday.
Can you tell me who Mary is? Have we seen her in the show before?

D'Arcy: "I'm really ok, I promise"
Also D'Arcy: * cleans her tears *
I love this show so much, but honestly, my favorite joke from it is savagely underrated: when Michael and Tahani together made a combination Fast & Furious + Greek mythology joke together. "I kept pushing the rock up the hill, over and over, and now it's gone. Pushing the rock up the hill gave me a purpose. Who am I if the rock's gone?" "Ironically, that's exactly what Vin Diesel asked me when Dwayne Johnson refused to appear in 'The Fast and the Furious 9'."
That was great!
And the fact that Jason made the “fancy” Greek mythological joke and tahani made the “trashy/jacksonville” F&F joke is even better
@@isaactrockman4417 Jason didn't make the mythology joke; Michael did...
Kristen is just sooo good. Even just during the read it's almost like the cameras are on already. I guess thats why she's voicing so many animated things too
The fact that they are using the sims 3 soundtrack??? That's the most the good placeish thing ever
Oh, so that's really what that was? My brain went to "Epcot Center background music".
Time?
THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING THIS!! 😆 I play the sims and thought I was the only who noticed this during the table read. It makes this much more special to me that the game and this show love are weirdly intertwined.

also, D'arcy wearing a Cheers crew neck is... everything to me.
i hadn’t seen that before your comment. thank you for adding yet another layer to this for me :)
Seeing Shawn's actor wipe his eyes at 14:50 is so astounding to me.
My Dad died of cancer and my best friend committed suicide last year but Chidi's remarks about the wave returning to the ocean has really helped me with their losses. Thank you.❤❤❤❤
awe i’m sorry :( amazing how this show helps many with loss, i wish you the absolute best and for you to have a great life! :,) ❤️
When Darcy started crying, I started crying and the way Will was rubbing her back to comfort her 😭
omg that part broke me. every time i saw her cry i cried
can u mark the time pleaseeeeeee
Maybe the real Finale Table Read was the friends we made along the way
That's deep. Did you learn that from Janet? 😂
Nope still nonsense
Am I the only one who noticed at 1:00:38 Kristen and Ted are holding hands, and then at 1:01:23 he kisses her hand, they are honestly such great friends, I love them 🥺🥺🥺
Loved this so much, but dammit I really wanted to see Chidi's wave speech scene in the live table read. Sounds ungrateful, I know, but I just loved that scene so much. Would have been awesome to see Will reading it and Kristen reacting. Wonder if it changed from the table read to shooting, or maybe they just wanted to keep that special one for themselves. What a fantastic show.

@@oliviaott331 wow that's awesome! nice job
@@oliviaott331 Thank you
My thoughts as well. I had watched the finale the night before, and only meant to watch part of this video for a couple of moments where I wanted to see how the cast reacted. Instead I watched the entire thing, same tears at the same moment.
I agree. I wish they stayed with the table the whole time instead of switching to the final version so much.
For real, if the afterlife isn't exactly like this, I'm gonna be pissed. I want to work on being better than I was and earn my spot in Heaven. I want to have eternity to do whatever the fork I want and see everyone I loved. I want to spend a billion Bearimies doing whatever and then finally decide it's time to return my wave back to the ocean.
Bro i just want to stop existing
@@Zak-xz7jd you can go through the door, frame 1

Check out Hinduism! The final afterlife resembles the Hindu view of life and after-life, so I think you'd be interested. Make sure to move past the superficial stuff, though, and try to work towards the deeper philosophies. Have fun, and best of luck!
Same. In a way you go from hell (Earth) to purgatory (the tests) and finally to heaven, where your entire family and all of your friends who are already there are gonna embrace you immediately, and you wait for the rest. You go anywhere you want, do anything you want, be with people you want, all of it. And then when you're done with all that, and you feel truly complete, call for Janet, and she'll take you to the forest. And you walk through the door to return to the ocean.
"i didn't deserve him."
"yes you 100% did. you did deserve him."

When was this? :)
I’m kinda sad that they cut that part out. I mean all their toasts to the whole soul squad and not just Michael’s.
When was this?
@@maddyb7899 it was cut in the final edit but it was during Janet and Eleanor’s last chat before Eleanor walked through the Door.
Edit: If you’re talking about the timeframe though it’s at 58:15
This show is almost a religion. I'm going to spend a lot of time trying to get more people to watch this. I think everyone needs to see it. It's a true masterpiece.
I thought the show was an innovative comedy by the end of season one. By the time I finished watching the series finale, I realized it was much closer to a spiritual experience.
I have not been able to convince a single person to watch. It honestly makes me a bit sad.
I'm really impressed that sometime between this table read and the show, the script team (or whomever) knew how much to keep in and how much to edit out. This script was originally much longer with a lot more jokes, but the way it ended up, it had just the right balance of humor and pathos. I also have incredible respect for this group of actors and their dedication. The intensity of their script reading and their concentration, watching them thinking about their characters, is really inspiring. Having just seen the finale, having seen their fully developed characters on the screen then looking back at this, it's so impressive how far they took the words on the page and fleshed them out. All along in bingeing this show, I have been so impressed with the script but now I think I am even more impressed with the acting. Humor has to be so incredibly difficult to do.
Chris Traeger should've had a cameo...

Pretty sure Nick Offerman AKA Ron Swanson makes an appearance at the end with his woodworking self!!!
But Chris traeger won’t even die coz he’s too healthy to die XD
Chris: this is Literally, the most frogs I have Ever seen
I love that it ended like this, but it's the only sitcom to ever make me cry for more than thirty minutes straight! And now I've cried through the whole table read.
I know. I saw the table read and thought, oh that might be fun. Next thing, I'm bawling like I was during the finale.
3 years have passed, and the emotion's still present. Thank you for everything.
Seeing Janet cry was truly one of the saddest experiences of my life
Ugh man I hate you guys for what you made me feel in the finale. As Chidi would say “this broke me”. It legit broke me. When Chidi left I was crying so hard. This was such a good show
I am getting a stomachache
Bro D'Arcy is just me crying
when Chidi decided to leave and the scene switched to Eleanor waking up alone, I started crying so hard.
This show is a rare gem. From its start to finish it engages viewers with great comedy, an amazing story, and actually dared to make people think and ask themselves, "What does it mean to be a Good person?" Its an incredible show and though I'm sad its gone, I'm glad it was here
well i'm in tears so thank you. but don't be shy NBC, release the parks and rec finale table read >:)
YES
YESSS
Definitely!
the only thing i didnt like about this is that maya rudolph wasnt there
I LOVE her. Especially in this show.
Elenor and Chidi’s relationship was one of the most wholesome love stories I have seen on television for a long time.
Every time I hear chidis waves speech im always balling my eyes out even tho its the millionth time watching it
That was one of the great lines in a TV show full of really great lines.
Interesting the changes from the read through till final production.
I wonder if that means there is gonna be a bunch of deleted scenes
I think I cried more than when I watched the actual episode. And I cried a lot back then...
OH BOY....
I cried...
This show is so underrated. It deserves more love.
One of the best, positive, heartwarming shows ever.
I'll miss the characters so much.
It ended on a high and did not drag on for a disappointing end.
A forking great show.
As soon as I saw Jeremy Bearimy I couldn't stop focusing on the 'i', and then Chidi asked about it with as much curiosity as I had; and I couldn't stop bawling laughing. I hope that was improvised.
I’m pretty sure it was!
Someone needs to turn down the sims music down a notch. A bit too loud to hear the actual read through😋
Ikr so irritating
oh my god i was sitting here like is that... the SIMS MUSIC.....
I thought you were joking but its ACTUAL SIMS MUSIC
Right??!?!!!? Ffs
It’s heartwarming to see how attached the entire cast has grown to be to the characters, everyone say thank you TGP!:D
Anyone else having a spiritual crisis watching this?
Not a crisis, per se, but more of a renewed conviction that I need to be a better person, and work harder.
I used to have severe nihilism (and not the good kind). There would be moments where I would suddenly say "whats the point in all of this if life is meaningless" and i would freak out about it. After watching The Good Place, i actually started overcoming it because i was really struck by the idea that mystery is what makes life meaningful and special. I told myself that fck it man, we're all not immortals; lets make the most out of our time here while we're still alive. Yes, life is meaningless, but with that nothing we can make it something. It could be anything at all. It could be a loved one or your family, maybe a religion or a practice or a hobby. Counting sand? Literally anything.
i’m having mine too, it’s so encompassing and genuine that i’m rethinking everything about myself and our lives
I love how D'Arcy (Janet) is wearing a Cheers shirt (Ted Danson, the actor who plays Michael, played in an extremely popular sitcom called cheers for thoes who didn't know).
OMG. I didn't even think of that, and I'm old enough to have watched it as a kid/teen. Remember when the cast went on Leno a little too drunk for TV? I wonder if D'Arcy bought it, or if it's some of Ted's old swag.
This is gonna hurt my soul I can already tell.
"I'm okay. I promise" while D'Arcy is crying totally broke me. I was the same when I watched the last episode on Netflix, specially the part with Jason leaving. He was my favorite.
"I'm really ok, I promise" as D'arcy is weeping is the testament of this masterpiece of a show
I just love D'Arcy Carden's voice. So stable and calming. I can listen forever. Janet is THE BEST!!!
“Damnit Eleanor, you had ONE JOB!”
God, when I watched the ending I teared up a little. It really hurt to see Jason go first for some reason. His ending and Michael's were really, truly touching. Seeing this table read crushed me. I'm a sobbing mess, and so incredibly happy yet sad at the same time. It sucks, but it doesn't.
jasons end is the only one i truly sobbed like a baby. him and janet are just too hard to let go
This show helped me so much with my fear of death. The wave’s metaphor somehow makes me feel warm and calm
William comforting D'Arcy when she starts tearing up has me in tears too 🥺
This series finale has me in SO MANY TEARS
Oh dip... when we get to the part where Jason says he’s ready to go... how D’arcy starts crying a little.
Even though I cried my eyes out watching the show finale, I honestly did't expect to sob my way through the table read. I miss this show and these characters so much... but I'm really glad it ended where it did. The perfect funny and moving ending to a funny and moving show.
Janet's actress crying when she found out Jason was going through the door- brb crying
It took me awhile to figure it out! AT 52:09 Eleanor echoes the end of season one, the big reveal. That's such an amazing callback!
Just finished watching the show. Charming show. Brilliant idea. Terrific actors! Thank you to all the creators. It was amazing.
I just finished watching the series for the millionth time, cried at the end, and now I'm watching this and crying again!
I don't think I've ever loved a tv show like The Good Place. these characters felt so real to me even though they're fictional. TGP will always have a special place in my life. It gave me happiness and light at a time when I felt so hopeless.
You’ve watched the finale many times that you recognize the changes that were made in the final edit.
Kristen didn’t cry through the whole thing wow I’m impressed
You actually see her reaching for a tissue at 14:30. She may not have fully cried, but she teared up a bit.
"I'm really ok I promise." as she's wiping her tears
I love that they post the table reads. It makes the theatre kid inside me so so happy.
Same
Darcy wearing a ‘Cheers’ shirt with Ted in the room 🥺
Seeing William Harpers demeanor change after he reads his final lines is heartbreaking 😭 you can see he is emotional and wants to cry but is trying to hold it together.
Such an emotional table read. I love this show and cast so much
I wanna be an actor just so I could experience crying at a final table read
I would get my memory erased to watch the good place again for the first time 😭 so I could enjoy everything 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
D’arcy is just amazing.
ugh agree i love her
This is the forking best. There will never be any show like the good place again
One of the most underrated shows of all time. Absolutely incredible storyline, cast and ending.
I love this show. So dang much.
D'arcy crying at 'Jason' leaving made me so sad but it was so sweet! She has such a good soul
UPDATE I'm in tears
Perfect thing to watch right after a stressful and scary math test
I hope it went well :)
I know you probably don’t remember, but did you do well?
Jameela crying at 40:00 is me as hell right now
I can pick a Ted Moment: "You guyyyyyyys!!!! I was sooo worried about you!!!!!"
I don’t need the whole afterlife to be like theirs was (as awesome as that would be). But I sincerely hope that when I die a couple sparkles of my being go and convince some guy to bring someone their mail or something else that’s good. That would be enough of a reason to do good in life.
Take it sleazy, everyone.
P.S. does anyone know if they made the last episode be called “Whenever you’re ready” as a reference to Leslie’s “I’m ready” at the end of parks and rec?
My favorite part of this episode is that people can be their best selves while still being themselves.
