I’ve never made a meme before, but everyone is raving about this angler fish so I decided to add in my input as a bioecologist 🧫

Re: the good place, someone I went to college with (and am therefore Facebook friends with) made a long post after finishing season 1 about how disappointed she was that the heartwarming good show was no longer heartwarming and good due to [spoilers]. So she would therefore no longer be watching it.

She was exactly that type of person in college too; sometimes I wonder if she ever went back and watched more of the good place

That's hilarious because most other people I've talked to about the matter agree that season 1 is kind of depressing.

(spoilers under the cut)

A "heaven" where you can only interact with 322 preselected people forever, where you're essentially in an arranged marriage with someone the system picked out for you as a "soul mate" (there is NO WAY that, given the exclusivity of actually getting into heaven, everyone works out with the right point totals that all heaven-goers are coincidentally perfectly paired up with an ideal mate who will be ideal forever), the major emphasis is on "harmony" in a "perfect system", and nothing you do will ever really matter in any way. The system's already ideal, there's someone there who can magically provide anything on request, you have eternity to just kind of sit around trying to entertain yourself knowing that any actual impact you can have on the community must be perfect or is making everything worse.

And -- this is the critical point, the thing that makes the whole Good Place model completely unworkable -- most people don't go there. You arrive and watch a cute intro video where Michael explains how the points work, how only people good enough to make serious social change and make it as impactful as possible end up there, and you talk to all your neighbours and they're people who dedicated their whole lives to helping others, only to arrive here and be told "oh, no, this isn't the end, it's the beginning -- and all those people you helped? Probably tortured for all eternity. Maybe you dedicated your entire life to getting shelter and counselling and medical care to homeless drug addicts, proved with every action how much you cared about helping them; they're all getting tortured forever. Don't worry about it! They weren't "good" enough, unlike you! Look how many flavours of frozen yoghurt we have!"

Season 1 was not a happy place.
