So I finally was able to binge the last four episodes and they were some of my favorites ever until the finale, which made me livid and fell totally flat. I don’t buy the justification for having to wipe Chidi’s memory at all, and making poor him and Eleanor go through everything to find each other AGAIN makes me feel like the audience is secretly in the bad place. Of course it could turn out that they are still really just being tortured or something, which would make sense for it sucking so hard for the characters but undo a lot of the best things we introduced this season. I absolutely want to go back to more of the ethical questions about the good place and human consumption instead of having to start from scratch over and over again. I’m sad in-universe and disappointed on a meta level, and I did NOT expect that based on how incredible this season was.
NBC has always had the superior quality comedies imo but they can't get out of their own way sometimes so they cancel shit too soon
As someone under the age of 30-- I don't get Multi-Camera sitcoms? Like? They immediately lose all emotional relatability & connection in that format. Hell, even The Andy Griffith show had that shit down 50 years ago by using good outdoors shots and effective use of angling.
Hating multi-cam sitcoms solely for the format is bonkers. Almost every classic of the genre falls under that umbrella. Nowadays we have so many incredible single cam shows that it can be hard to watch brand new ones in the more traditional style, but that’s doesn’t mean they should all get lumped in as “single cam good, multi-cam bad”.
I did grow up watching classic sitcoms on Nick At Nite and in syndication, but I've never understood why people now act like multi camera is so inferior. Maybe it's a little dated but the writing is what really matters
