Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

I think The Good Place is one of the best things to ever happen to tv. I know it’s not some secret piece of tv that nobody knows about, but it hit the right notes in my soul that I don’t think people are singing its praises loud enough, even a decade on from its release.
CreamyJalapenoSauce figured it out? CreamyJalapenoSauce? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts.
I just suddenly had this calm feeling, like the air inside my lungs was the same as the air outside my body. It was peaceful. You know the feeling when you think a jalapeño popper is gonna be too hot, but you bite into it anyway and it’s actually the perfect temperature?
My wife and I go to watch it, open Prime, put it on. Watch for a bit, things seem odd, but I don’t question it. We’re having a tough time following exactly, but I’ve heard good things about the show so I’m letting it breathe.
We get like 20m in and I say okay what the fuck. I pause, it’s the season finale of season 1, prime just felt, when we start a new show, that it was best to start off on the most recent episode, despite not having seen the rest of them. Frustrating, to say the least.
Holy shit that must have been frustrating. I knew something was off but the main reveal was good the first watch.
It ended up happening one other time, on Hulu I want to say, but I caught it earlier, because fool me once and all that. And I’m the kind of person who likes to go into things blind, I enjoy watching the story unfold, so it really gets my goat.
Believe it or not, never happens on the things I host locally.
Totally agreed. My favourite get-to-know-you question is this: “if you had the very specific super power that meant you could make everybody into the world love a piece of media in exactly the way you do, for exactly the reasons you do, what piece of media would you pick and why?”
My answer is The Good Place, with a bullet. It’s about trying to be better every day and treat people well, and it’s hilarious and good natured.

The able to make the entire world feel the same empathetic message of togetherness would be way too OP of a super power.
I found that Ted Danson’s new show, man on the inside, is also pretty good.
It’s warm and hilarious.
That’s a great show. At first I didn’t watch it because I thought it was gonna be some corny heaven show but it was really good. It ended on a very satisfying note and I hadn’t cried during shows for a while before that. Well besides Bojack horseman.
One of the rare “10/10, no notes” series from start to finish. Amazing finale too. Fantastic rewatch value.
There is a theory about the meaning of life in this show that I found profound.
I went into the show blind and it was definitely outside of the typical stuff that I watch, but I enjoyed it a lot!
I also greatly enjoyed this one and think it’s a really well-made show with great actors. It was also one of the few shows I could watch with my wife with us both really liking it (we have unfortunately very different taste regarding TV shows). We often laughed at very different moments that the other one didn’t find super funny but that didn’t matter at all. Definitely recommend!
It’s okay I thought, it belabors a lot of points. I mostly just liked the episodes where the plot moved fast
