The good place is amazing, and does many things I have never seen a sitcom pull off. Watch it!

i'm not here to shit on the good place as I loved it but it lacks a lot of that rewatchability that other big hit sitcoms have. The plot moves forward and there are some filler episodes but I think the biggest reason why it's a shorter series than most is the S1 reveal kinda alters the entirety of the show. It no longer can be a mix of fillers moving the plot forward, after that reveal each episode MUST work towards advancing the plot. Solid show but I think reddit gives it way to much praise when comparing it to sitcoms that carry A LOT of weight either due to initial viewing magnitude or the amount of people/hours rewatching it.
