The critically-acclaimed Canadian show garnered a massive cult following for its writing, humor, and acting. It also won awards for its authentic portrayal of LGBTQ+ people. Fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine are sure to love this hit sitcom.

Created by Michael Schur, this fantasy comedy aired four seasons on NBC from September 2016 to January 2020. The Emmy-nominated series follows the journey of Eleanor Shellstrop (played by Kristen Bell), an exceptionally selfish woman from Phoenix, Arizona, who dies only to find herself in the Good Place, which is designed and run by afterlife “architect” Michael (played by Ted Danson).

After realizing that she was sent there by mistake, Eleanor attempts to hide her morally imperfect past behavior while learning to become a more ethical person with the help of her friends, the indecisive ethics professor Chidi Anagonye (played by William Jackson Harper), the incredibly vain model Tahani Al-Jamil (played by Jameela Jamil), and the Taiwanese Buddhist monk Jason Mendoza (played by Manny Jacinto).
