**SPOILERS AHEAD**

In this episode of The Good Place, Michael and Janet are finding the man with the most good points to understand how to teach it to others, while the rest of the gang figures out life problems in the bar.

 

Things that exceeded my expectations:

-I love Chidi and Jackson growing closer because they haven’t interacted a lot in the other seasons.

-The scene between Tahani and Eleanor was so sweet and funny I adored it.

– I’m glad that Eleanor wants to try to be open with Chidi and try to find love instead of going back to her old tendencies.

-Finding out that just because Dough is the model person to get into the Good Place doesn’t mean that he’s happy was a really good point to make.

-The moment where Dough said that he wasn’t going to stop doing good things because he was worried if he does something that loses him just enough points to not get in the Good Place was a bittersweet scene.

-The Janet fight scene was well done and so enticing to watch.

-The three-tenths deduction line was delivered perfectly as well as naturally.

Things that could use some work:

-As much as I do love the fight scene the amount of cuts they made to put it together was annoying.

-We haven’t  seen Eleanor and Chidi interact much on their own this season in a romantic way so when Eleanor says she thinks she’s in love with him it seemed a little far fetched.

Overall this Episode of The Good Place was one of its best. The acting was spot on, every line delivered came out as natural and the episode had good pacing. Nothing too big bothered me in this episode. The Good Place is a fantastic show that I would recommend to anyone who wants a laugh.
