Michael is definitely my favourite character in The Good Place <3 the journey is so lovely and then getting to see him become human in the finale is so satisfying :) Ted Danson = International treasure <3

I was watching this series with my grandma and we really enjoyed it. It was so good.

I've never cried as hard over a show as I have over The Good Place. It literally cured my fear of death and got me to a place where I was ready to actually do therapy. And any time I start to feel hopeless with everything going on in the world, I rewatch the show and suddenly I can keep going.

Oh that would be amazing. I feel like Alan would cry so hard (and I would be right there with him).

Late to the game but I would l love to see psychology of a hero Ted Danson Season three

I'd be shocked if someone hasn't brought this up already, but I still feel the need to mention that if you love The Good Place, you should read Michael Schur's book "How to Be Perfect". He gives the full backstory of how he came up with the idea for the show, and it's an amazing mixture of moral philosophy and humor.

Going to suggest a Villain Therapy for season one Rebecca from Ted Lasso.

Ted Danson was just so delightful that when he started his new show Inside Man I ran straight to it just to get more of him making me feel things.

I know this is outside your typical wheelhouse, but you should check out the musical Epic thats Jorge Riverra-Herenβs take on the Odyssey for your next Patreon exclusive. 1) the music is FANTASTIC, 2) there are so many juicy βtrolley problemsβ that come up throughout it, and 3) there are some incredible character arcs that could be used for psychological of a hero(?)/morally grey character/navigating impossible survival scenarios. Plus, the fan-made animatics are so good, itβs basically like watching an animated movie now if you get the right playlist!

Please do Steven Universe. It's about cartoon that deal with trauma and how to overcome it.
