One of the most inventive and imaginative sitcoms of the 2016-17 TV season, The Good Place is a comic afterlife fantasy in which a thoroughly inconsiderate, self-involved young woman named Eleanor (Kristen Bell) finds herself in what is essentially Heaven due to an identity mix-up and she turns to an ethics professor (William Jackson Harper) for lessons on how to be a good person. And that's just the first complication in this wild farce about a perfect community that starts unraveling due to Eleanor's presence. The comedy revolves around the efforts of her small support groupâwhich includes Ted Danson as the host and engineer of the community, Jameela Jamil as a British socialite philanthropist, Manny Jacinto as an idiot hip hop dancer confused for a Buddhist monk, and a helper robot named Janet, played with chipper enthusiasm by D'Arcy Cardenâto keep her secret and protect her from being sent to "the bad place." The show was created by Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation), who excels at attention to character and rapid-fire delivery. The Good Place mixes slapstick comedy with sophisticated ideas, delving into ethical and philosophical issues through character humor and wild visual gagsâkind of like a live-action cartoon about existential questions. While not a ratings champ, the series did earn rave reviews and has a devoted following. Compiling all 13 debut season episodes, extras include select episode commentaries, a cast table read, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and a gag reel. Highly recommended. (S.
