The Good Place (2016–2020)
10/10
Great start, outstanding ending!

There are very few tv shows/movies that I give 10 stars - and The Good Place is one of them.

The first season was great, I always thought the after life to be a great subject with endless possibilities, and they gave it a nice and smart idea, with good humour.

The 2nd and 3rd seasons werent amazing, but it was still worth watching. I really thought that the director had lost the way, because after the first plot twist what else could they show us, right? I had the impression the storyline was getting too "crazy". Well, I was wrong, it was all to lead where the writter wanted.

I read somewhere they had it planned from the beginning that the show would be 4 seasons and I finished watching - the last one was absolutely marvelous. The way they worked with all the "afterlife problems" that many people can think of but never give too much thoght to it - it was all explored in the series, and the ending was one of the best finales in TV history, superb. They gave every character a proper closure, leaving no loose ends.

The show is way way more than I expected at first sight, has deep philosophical reflections, awesome characters - their development as a (dead) person, and the way they finished it made it go to my masterpiece's list. A show that I'd recommend to anyone, any age.
