Tonight NBC airs the Fall finale of The Good Place. In the last episode, the Soul Squad headed to Canada so that Michael and Janet could talk to Doug Forcett—the man who had come the closest to guessing what the Good Place was really like. They were hoping to use Doug’s way of life as a blueprint for how to get into the Good Place. However, they discovered that Doug was miserable, sacrificing his own happiness in order to maximize his points and ensure himself a spot in the Good Place. Doug grows his own food, recycles his urine for water, and allows a young sociopath to torment him. Michael and Janet realize they’ve made a horrible mistake. Meanwhile, back at the bar, Eleanor decides to tell Chidi about the relationship they had in the Good Place, and then she confesses her love for him. However, this is interrupted as all Hell (literally) breaks out in the bar. Shawn and some of his demons have shown up to drag Eleanor and the others to the Bad Place. Fortunately, Janet knows martial arts, and manages to take down the demons, throwing them through a portal Michael opened to the Good Place. Just as it looks like everything’s going to be OK, a second wave of demons arrives, and so Janet takes Michael and the others into her void, though, she states that they will all die on Earth when they enter.

So, what awaits our Soul Squad in the void? If they are now dead again, does that mean the series won’t be returning to Earth again any time soon? It’s amazing how often this show throws in huge twists, and is constantly re-inventing itself! I can’t wait to see what Janet’s void looks like, and what new adventure awaits our group. Also, now that Chidi has had some time to process what Eleanor proclaimed, how will he react?! In some forking good news, NBC just announced that the series has been picked up for a fourth season, so there is a lot more to come—and who knows where the series and characters will be by the time the new season begins next year?!

In tonight’s mid-season finale, “Janet(s)”, while Eleanor and the gang contend with an intense out-of-body experience, Michael hatches a plan with Janet’s help.

Tonight I’ll also be watching/recording The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Superstore, Will & Grace, I Feel Bad, Top Chef, and Nightflyers.
