The Good Place (TV Series) What's My Motivation (2017) User Reviews

Eugene Cordero as Pillboi

[safenoe · 8/10 · 11 March 2022]

Eugene Cordero as Pillboi almost steals this episode, which is approaching the end of season 1. We learn about Jason's untimely death, suffocating in a safe in a robbery gone very wrong, and his marriage to Janet grows. I can only wonder how season 1 will end I guess.

I've just finished watching 30 Rock, and am re-watching Community, so now it's The Good Place.

Simply sublime

How can anything be so exquisitely written and perfectly performed? It's gotta be other-worldly.

One of my all-time favorite lines from this series (which means one of my favorite lines ever on television) is in this episode.

Jason and Pillboi are planning to rob the restaurant using a big safe. (Of course the safe costs more than what they'll get in the robbery by a pretty big multiple, but we don't think about that.) And Pillboi asks what they'll do if they get caught, and Jason says, "We'll get married and then no one can testify against us."

Still boring

There should be some feeling of urgency and tension here, since Eleanor is fighting for her life, or whatever you want to call her state of existence. But there is none of that, because the whole series is now completely silly, but not in the least funny. Instead of having a tense and dramatic fight for straying in the good place, we get a bunch of silly, unconnected scenes. And more of the stupidity that is the "marriage" between the heaven's computer and the most annoying character in any show that I have seen in a long time. This could be funny if somebody with real talent wrote it, but here it is just annoying. And now there is a "neutral place" also? Wow, what a brilliant idea. Just keep making up stuff that is completely contrary to what you have established so far, that is pure genius.
