What’s the plot?

The Good Place talks about their version of afterlife and their version of heaven and hell. According to them there is no such thing as heaven or hell. Every person who dies either goes to a good place or goes to a bad place and one human even placed in a medium place because of her on-going trial is going on since decades.

There are points counted and all the people who did more good than bad go to the good place and the rest go to the bad place as both the name suggests. All place have Janet who works like Siri. You call her name and she appears and she knows EVERYTHING.

The protagonist Elenor thinks that by mistake she is placed in the good place and she tries to modify her behaviour by learning  philosophy from her soulmate Chidi.

There is also Tahini and Jason who are paired soulmates. The soulmates are paired using artificial intelligence. Jason appears to have taken an oath of silence and Tahini who is a beauty who just loves to throw a party and be her fabulous self. 

Eventually, Eleanor realizes that the four humans have actually been in an experimental Bad Place all along, chosen by Michael who poses as the architect of that good place, to torture each other emotionally and psychologically for eternity.

In the second season, Michael tries to wipe out the memories of all 4, Elanor, Chidi, Jason and Tahani but each time they figure out that it is bad place all along. There is a judge, who hears the cases and gives her final verdict on any situation. She is savage and she loves watching TV shows.

In the third season, all 4 come to earth and take part in a research study with Chidi’s colleague Simon. They learn about the afterlife, they also learn that no one has entered into the good place since centuries and they report this to the judge.

In the final season, they experiment to check if humans can improve their behaviour and show positive results. This way the 4 people and Micheal and Janet earn their place in the good place. But the good place soon becomes boring and then Elnor comes up with the solution of ending their afterlife by peacefully exiting the good place. 

In the last episode, Jason, Chidi and Elanor choose to leave the good place, Tahani becomes the good place architect and Michael is allowed to live on Earth.
