You know how to cap off a season. The creator of "The Good Place" — and, of course, the fine cast and writing team — de- livered a critically acclaimed fresh- man season of the NBC comedy, but it was the final episode that re- ally took things to another level. The season wrapped with a jaw- dropping twist (which I will spoil ... you've been warned) and ensuing cliffhanger — the sort of stuff that good TV is all about. Don't miss the return of "The Good Place" when the sophomore season debuts Wednesday, Sept. 20, on NBC. The series stars Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars") as Eleanor Shellstrop, a not-great young woman who's sent to the Good Place (heaven, essentially) by mis- take after being confused with an altruistic human rights lawyer with the same name. The excellent Ted Danson ("Cheers") plays Michael, the bow tie-wearing architect of the Good Place neighborhood where Eleanor and other deceased humans live. He introduces Eleanor to her soulmate, Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper, "Patterson," 2016), an ethics professor from Senegal. Eleanor confides the truth of her situation to Chidi, who agrees to provide ethics lessons to help her become a better person, and thus avoid detection, which would cause her to be sent to the Bad Place, where she really be- longs. With Chidi's help, Eleanor makes decent (if not stellar) prog- ress in her self-improvement over the course of the season as she spends time with the other deni- zens of the Good Place, including neighbors Tahani Al-Jamil (Jameela Jamil, "Koko Pop") and Jason Mendoza (Manny Jacinto, "The Romeo Section"), the latter of whom has a secret similar to Eleanor's. Astute viewers may have cot- toned on to the fact that the Good Place, and some of its inhabitants, weren't as utopian and faultless as one might expect things to be in the supposed paradise of the righteous afterlife. It has frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. The residents still have to take care of mundane chores such as laundry and dishes. There's no less bicker- ing going on between the inhabit- ants than you might expect to see in crummy old real life and, worst of all, in the second episode Mi- chael kicks a dog into the sun (what could possibly be less good than kicking a dog?).
