The Good Place [2016-2020] [Darker Tone]

When Eleanor Shellstrop dies in a grocery store accident, she finds herself in the afterlife's "Good Place"—a meticulously designed neighborhood where everything is perfect. But Eleanor knows she doesn't belong. A selfish, morally bankrupt woman, she's convinced there's been a cosmic mistake. Determined to hide her true nature, she befriends Chidi, a philosophy professor; Tahani, an aspirational socialite; and Jason, a lovable DJ from Florida. Together, they navigate an eternity orchestrated by Michael, an architect of the Good Place with his own hidden agenda. As Eleanor and her friends uncover shocking truths about the afterlife's rules, they must grapple with philosophy, morality, and redemption. What begins as a comedy about avoiding detection becomes a profound exploration of whether people can truly change, and what it means to live—and die—well.
