NBC's "The Good Place" (Season 1) - Blu-ray Forum

Walts Ghost · 05-16-2016, 01:50 AM

Quote:

Synopsis: From Michael Schur, executive producer of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Parks and Recreation” and “The Office,” comes a smart, unique new comedy that follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, “House of Lies,” “Veronica Mars”), an ordinary woman who, through an extraordinary string of events, enters the afterlife where she comes to realize that she hasn’t been a very good person. With the help of her wise newfound afterlife mentor (Ted Danson, “Bored to Death,” “Cheers”), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome (or at least the pretty good) person within. Directed by Drew Goddard, the Oscar-nominated writer of “The Martian.”

Cast: Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto and D’Arcy Carden.

Is it just me, or is this like Angel From **** but Danson is playing Lynch role? I got that fibe.

TheLaughingMann · 05-16-2016, 02:21 AM

It's a make it or break it comedy, so it'll have to do pretty well to stick.

But since I am a Ted Danson AND Kristen Bell fan, it'll be worth a peek.

No, from what I recall of that show, Lynch was just making her daughter's life a pain.

Ted's doing the opposite where he's trying to make Kristen's life better. You want evil Ted, see him in Damages.

That's what I meant to have said when I brought up Danson in Lynch role, except he's the good angel so to speak.

This is one of my early favorites to be cancelled!

Yeah. His role in Damages did take him to a bit of dark...I do recommend it just for watching Glenn Close and everything else is pure profit on the senses.

I loved Office and P&R and love B99 but this looks horrible.

Maggie Lawson's character wasn't her daughter lol

I'll watch anything with Kristen Bell in it, I even suffered through 1.5 seasons of House of Cards just for her so I'll be watching this, and added bonus it actually looks funny.

fatediesel · 05-16-2016, 01:06 PM

This show doesn't look very good to me but I've got high hopes because Parks and Rec is probably my favorite comedy of all time and I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine, so I have faith in Michael Schur.

Kristen Bell wasn't in House of Cards; she is in House of Lies though, which is going into its fifth or sixth season.

I loved the trailer for this. I'll definitely be checking it out. Parks and Rec, The Office, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are all great, so I have faith in this show.

Bored Gaymer · 05-16-2016, 02:50 PM

For a second, when I read the title, I thought they confirmed the The Good Wife spin-off...

right, I knew that and I've never even watched House of Cards so I don't know why that show was on my mind... maybe I'm just thinking it is probably the better show compared to Lies

celticmoon · 05-18-2016, 03:15 PM

Hm, I don't think the trailer looks so bad....

Regardless, I'll be checking it out as a big fan of P&R and B99.

MikeScott · 09-19-2016, 07:13 AM

I think this is the only new show this fall I'm interested in. Really looking forward to it.

eightslicesofpie · 09-19-2016, 12:53 PM

Excited for this tonight ~

celticmoon · 09-19-2016, 06:15 PM

Not that I wasn't already looking forward to it, but the review they posted at The AV Club makes this seem like a really promising show.

And so as I understand it, we get 2 episodes tonight, plus 1 episode in it's usual spot on Thursday.

Veronica Mars · 09-19-2016, 07:25 PM

Not only is the show getting very good reviews but KB is getting them too. After a long run of making crap, between Bad Moms and this, she seems to be on a bit of a roll.

And she looked insanely hot last night at the Emmys.

Rodney-2187 · 09-20-2016, 02:45 AM

Not bad. Funny.
