The Good Place is such an amazing show (i say, rewatching it from the start for the first time in a while). from a moral teaching standpoint obviously, but also i really admire the narrative construction of the first season as well.
spoilers ahead obvi
sometimes in shows or movies it can feel like things are just Happening to the characters with no real reason for it, besides for the characters to then have something to React to. which can end up feeling very forced in terms of how the writers are making the characters behave
and in The Good Place you almost have that. but then you find out the truth, and suddenly it’s all so plausible.
take for example, s1e5. a marriage counselor and a PI show up at the door of a squabbling couple who are actively lying about who one of them is. in any other sitcom—and even in this moment, going in blind—this is just suuuch a conveniently ill-timed coincidence, right? and it might come off as cheap that way—it’s hugely improbable and feels inauthentic
but with the gift of hindsight it’s like. all of that just totally falls into place. yes, it was conveniently the worst thing that could have possibly happened to those characters at that time, because it was SPECIFICALLY CANONICALLY ENGINEERED that way.
im not being exceptionally articulate but there’s something really fascinating to me about a story premise that manages to not only neutralise what would otherwise be a plot hole, but actively weaponise it. i have a few friends who stopped watching The Good Place after a few episodes, and i guess i can see why because it does come off as cheap storytelling if you don’t Know, but with the gift of hindsight the whole thing is just. so brilliant.
(except of course you can’t explain that to anyone who hasn’t seen The Good Place without spoiling The Good Place, and spoiling The Good Place is cardinal sin)

I came up with the most gut wrenching idea for a koisenu futari fic after rewatching it with a friend but I'm probably never gonna get around to writing it

Unstoppable villain, meet immovable agent of friendship!
I was wondering in what circumstances Charlie would just OFFER her soul to Al.
And he would short circuit as all his manipulation plans become unnecessary.
Cause Charlie cares about her friends and if they need help she won’t hesitate.

Do you have not just the exact words, but the exact intonation of one sentence from a show, movie or WHATEVER just STUCK in your head FOR NOR SPECIFIC REASON

I managed to scrap a little time together to doodle at least something for the final season of Hilda (even if I don't have time to watch it yet lmao)
This show has carved out a very special place in my heart!
I want to do something nicer for her eventually but alas that will have to wait till the new year with how busy I am~
