Forking Shirtballs! Speculation Time on The Good Place
February 28, 2017 by rozofla
The Good Place ended earlier this season with a jaw-dropping finale that both resets the show and keeps it exactly the same.
With that idea in mind, and referencing just a bit of Supernatural and Groundhog’s Day, here’s what I’d love to see in Season Two of The Good Place:
1. Something like what happened in Supernatural’s “Mystery Spot”, where there are just enough changes to the second season from the first season for fans to notice, but still feel like a slightly different season;
2. More of Eleanor’s new soulmate. Man looked good;
3. Janet helping Eleanor figure out how to find Chidi, Jianyu and Tahani; and,
4. More characters that aren’t all connected to working with Michael and his grand design.
What do you want to see more from The Good Place in season two?
