Board 8 > Just finished season 1 of The Good Place.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yup, I can see why a lot of you loved it.

Great show and it definitely has the dna of Parks and Rec.
---

How can I watch Season 2 now?
---

Probably not legally yet.

and yeah it's an excellent show

cool premise, manages to be both funny and surprising, and it helps that I was already a Kristen Bell fan going in
---

You can probably buy it
---

nbc.com?
---

Found it. The NBC app on Xbox One allows you to watch it.
---

You can get most seasons of TV on Amazon, Google Play, or iTunes btw.

Do they keep Janet as a member of the show? I love her.

wow, I literally just finished season 1 like 5 minutes ago

I also enjoyed it!
---

Fortunately when they put S1 on Netflix, they had only aired a few episodes of Season 2 so I was able to catch up on Hulu before the early episodes of S2 got pulled off of there.

Wow, I literally finished it two days ago.

...and I just finished season 2 moments ago!
---

I finished season 1 a couple weeks ago.

I beat all you slow mofos
---

Does it get much better after the first episode?

And/or how viable is it to skip straight to S2?
---

My wife and I finished S1 last week. Great show so far.

Nah definitely don't skip S1. Watch it all, it's great.
---

Under absolutely no circumstances should you skip S1.
---

Definitely do not skip.

It started to click for me at about episode 4, keep going.
---

I'm about 6 episodes in now. I'm glad that my biggest fear of the show, the fact that it might always revolve around hiding the secret, he been taken care of. I find the show to be good, but not like super funny. More amusing I guess.
---

wow, season 2 is REALLY good huh
---

I find it to be an excellent above mid-tier show with next to no flaws and a few great characters that is consistently good throughout, but not mind-blowingly fantastic or anything, just very good.

I really want to see that multiverse episode but I also reallyyyy didn't like much of s01e01. It doesn't help that it reminds me of Dead Like Me but is totally different.
---

What was wrong with it?

just stop thinking and watch it

but there's so many food videos to watch instead
---

you can watch all of S1 of The Good Place in like, a day. it's like 5 hours of TV.

there will always be food videos
---

Just got through the episode with the trolly dilemma. That was fantastic.

trolly dilemma

ok I'm sold
---

Re-watched the first episode, I think what lost me was the horrible cgi
---

4 episodes done, there is still no hook. It feels like half the dialogue is exposition for really obvious or repeated things. Joke density is way too low. No characters are particularly good. Why can't I skip to S2 again?
---

You'll understand why you can't skip to season 2 when you finish season 1.
---

This is Danganronpa all over again
---

I mean, I disagree with your whole assessment of the show there, but there is actually a really good reason why you can't just skip to season 2. Nor do I really understand why you would want to anyway. But I mean, if you can't find enjoyment out of it, which is really strange to me, then you can just stop watching because you seem like you'd just keep finding issues with the show anyway.
---

I was gonna put something similar to ^^^, if you're not feeling it just walk away.
---

Nah, just push through it.

I wasnt hooked after 3 or 4 episodes either, but the episodes are so short I just kept watching.

Next thing I knew, I watched both seasons in like 3 days.

Because I want to see those gimmick episodes that everyone is talking about but these first episodes don't seem to have much substance at all

It's like playing BOTW and people saying "trust me, you just need 300 more korok seeds before going to Hyrule Castle!"

Maybe I'll background-watch them which I never do with shows
---

First joke in episode 5 and they had to explain it in detail to the viewer sighhh
---

I wonder if fool would enjoy the show more if he knew why he cant skip to season 2.

My wife and I certainly enjoyed it more once we knew. I usually hate spoilers but if you want to know I have no trouble telling you.
---

Nah I'm watching it at 2x speed now so it will be over quickly
---

Why bother ? Youre not going to like it
---

As a fan of the show, if you don't enjoy it yet, don't watch it. You're not going to get any satisfaction watching it at 2x speed.
---

If there's some good episodes I'll like it, duh.

And I watch most things at 2x so I'm used to it. I even watch the Flash at 2x.
---

I can understand watching a show not reliant on timing as a comedic principal at 2x; when I was younger, I watched Project Runway on 1.5x speed. I just think that this show in particular loses some of its charm at that speed.

If he knew, he'd be even more obnoxious in his "review" of the episodes
---

I don't know why I took foolmo seriously here.

I apologize everyone. That was my fault.
