	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: Brilliant in all realms (...) 'The Good Place' is arguably the most underappreciated comedy on television"
		Jen Chaney Vulture	"[3rd Season Review]: It’s an ethics lesson and a brilliant piece of escapism at a time when this country desperately needs both."
		Sam Adams Slate	"[3rd Season Review]: The brilliant NBC sitcom reinvents itself again, but the struggle remains the same (...) 'The Good Place' allows its characters to change"
		Justin Kirkland Esquire	"[3rd Season Review]: Michael Schur introduces a brilliant path toward redemption (...) The liberty of resetting the story for the benefit of its characters feels so purposeful."
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[3rd Season Review]: Michael Schur and his writing team display a consummate mastery of detail (...) Enjoy being back in 'The Good Place'. It is the Best Time (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 finds comedic paradise in plenty of fresh surprises (...) Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, and one of TV's funniest shows come back better than ever"
		Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: In its second season, it started to feel like 'The Good Place' could do anything (...) I’ll be waiting patiently for next season"
		Sam Adams Slate	"[2nd Season Review]: 'The Good Place' has kept the first season’s good stuff"
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"The necessary elements for a successful comedy are there, including the chemistry between Danson and Bell."
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"I’m eager to see how Schur develops his amiable setup, beyond the amusing idea that there are no hangovers in heaven."
		Maureen Ryan Variety	"The show is more gently amusing than laugh-out-loud funny, and no character pops as much as Ron Swanson did in the early days of 'Parks and Rec' (...) 'The Good Place' is more polished than the first few installments of that earlier series."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"'The Good Place' has the right intentions. It has the big idea. It even has the players. But someone needs to move them more effectively."
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'The Good Place', needs some work (...) If there’s a purgatory for mediocre comedies that are built on wobbly premises, then that’s where this should go."
