(Warning: MAJOR TV spoiler alerts ahead.)
At the end of the first season of The Good Place, Eleanor Shellstrop has a revelation. She and her three new afterlife friends aren’t in the Good Place at all. In fact, they’re already in the Bad Place. Michael, the architect of their neighborhood, confirms her suspicion. But before Eleanor is given a chance to retort, Michael snaps his fingers, and suddenly, everything is gone. Our four main characters are back at square one, ready to start all over again.
As The Good Place begins season 2, the scenario repeats itself all over.
