We started watching The Good Place and we're about halfway through the first season. I think my expectations were too high. I keep expecting like 300-level discourse and plotting but it's more like 100 and 200 level classes. I get the philosophy part - you can only spoon that out so much to a major tv audience. And it's pretty funny. But it feels like every time they have an opportunity to take a chance or expand the universe, it's smaller that I think it should be for a show with a grand premise. I've been assured it gets better but I'm a bit disappointed so far.
