"Pobody's nerfect" - or whatever the saying might be! As humans we are constantly
worried about how our actions may come back to haunt us. The Good Place (2016-2020)
is a high-concept American sitcom that brought light to the dark topic of the afterlife,
and the show tackled this worry head-on. Although it had a life span of only four
seasons, The Good Place made a lasting impact on American television culture and garnered
many accolades for producer Michael Schur (also producer of The Office, Parks and
Recreation, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine). Author Erin Giannini argues that the show redefines
the classic sitcom structure by mixing the genres of fantasy and comedy, while simultaneously
teaching the viewers the importance of character development through the analysis
of moral and ethical principles. Giannini also analyzes the "not so in your face"
political commentary seen in The Good Place, as this show took place during a tumultuous
time in American politics. Television studies scholars and fans of the show will enjoy
Giannini's analysis of The Good Place as they read about the show's laughs and twists
and turns.
