Desire Death And The Afterlife - amazonia.fiocruz.br

Often described by Marc Evan Jackson—the actor who plays Shawn on the show and the host of The Good Place The Podcast —as the smartest, while simultaneously dumbest, show on television, The Good Place does what few shows can.

First Jason decides to walk Afferlife the door. So, perhaps that explains his departure. The inadequacy of secular love, though, becomes undeniable when Chidi, one half of the main couple driving the series, feels that he no longer desires existence in the Good Place and walks through the Last Door. Eleanor follows him through the Last Door shortly after, and in the final shot of the show we see Michael who now has been turned into a human—presumably to one day walk through the Last Door as well.]
