I actually did watch the first episode of The Good Place a couple months back and it was a fun watch, but my time of viewing Netflix at that point was kind of restricted, but I will get back to it, maybe after Brooklyn Nine Nine, which as of last night, I finally got around to it and watched the first three episodes and...

I LOVE IT ALREADY!

It's rare for a show to make me reach adoration almost immediately but it has everything I want in a sitcom; upbeat humour, perfectly timed jokes, a fantastic balance of story and comedy intertwining, and a selection of characters each enjoyable and complex in varying ways, worth discussing now.

Jake: One of the best kinds of protagonists. It would've been so easy to make him an annoying lazy worker who has to be taught how to do his work, but they expand on him so much by making him be full of eccentricity and energy, shutting down crimes while grinning as if he's still goofing off. Constantly charismatic without it ever being draining, and basically the life of the show<3.

Captain Ray: He may be deadpan, but he always gets me entertained somehow. His dynamic with Jake is such a fun back and forth, as is his reactions to all the weird moments he has to take care of, yet he also still seems to know what he's doing.

Amy: You probably aren't surprised I enjoy her so much because obviously I do. Characters like Josee and Courtney I love because they really speak to me in always trying to be their best, hating defeat, and trying to be above tough situations even though they always fall victim to it xD. She may not be shown as much as I expected at first, but all of her scenes I've loved. Was DYING when she was told to be careful with the hot sauce and then got all competitive by using a LOAD of it and nearly suffocating on her sandwich lmao.

Charles: Lol he's such a tryhard loser and I love it. He's like a lost puppy that wandered into a police station, but also has a crush on the Bulldog of the workplace 😂. I feel sorry for him but at the same time, everyone loves a punching bag right?

Rosa: Another funny deadpan character. She cares about problems even less than Jake and it's a great contrast to all the crazy moments that occur in the meantime.

Terry: Terry Crews is so naturally funny, even in what's generally considered a bad movie like White Chicks he steals the show. Here, he's a bit more chilled out but there's been pretty funny moments with him too, particularly the dollhouse episode is when I became interested.

Gina: In a show as over the top as this, I'm glad there's a commentator there who's aware of the imperfections of the other workers. Granted, Gina's also pretty neurotic and quick to offend others so she's pretty messed up too so another great characters.

If I had to pick favourites like you asked, it would be Jake, Ray and probably Amy if they just give her a little more importance, but those three are definitely my type of characters but this is also my type of show and I'm so excited to watch more! I was shocked when I found out it has over 130 episodes too 😍. Will watch more tonight, don't wanna flood your message wall so maybe I'll just do an update every three episodes like I've done now.
