The Good Blog: The Finale

The Good Blog: Chapter 6

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Grace Akin and Alexander Bakeis

As the fourth and final season of The Good Place is underway, the time has come to say goodbye, both to our favorite show and our favorite class. This is The Good Blog: The Finale.

Appropriately, we started off our final class talking about endings. We posed the question: what would a good death be for the show? According to Aristotle, you can’t know if someone lived a good life until they are dead. However, Professor Becker argued that finales do not define a show. Us TV consumers know finales like those of Lost and Game of Thrones can taint the way audiences perceive a show, but they do not diminish the love we had for it along the way. The majority of the class agreed that regardless of what we think of the finale and what happens in it, we would just like there to be continuity and closure.
