The Good Place (2016–2020)
6/10
First (many) episodes are cringe-ish
26 March 2020
From the beginning the show struggles to be funny or entertaining. The first many episodes are Youtube-ish platonic, superficial and without any kind of natural flow or pacing in acting and dialog.

I must be the complete opposite of many of the other reviewers because I find most of first season boring and the rest quite entertaining and fun.

In fact I started out outright hating the show. Why did I watch it? Apparently my kids saw something in it which I didn't. However, as the show progressed it became more entertaining and much funnier which was a big surprise to me since most reviewers seem to feel quite the opposite.

You can safely give it a shot, but be patient if the first episodes are a pain. Simply fast forward if needed.

So how good is it? A pretty good place around 6 and 7 out of 10 (based on season 1 and 2)
