The pilot for NBC's The Good Place, starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, screened at San Diego Comic-Con and we've got an advance spoiler-free review. The show will premiere on Monday, September 19th, before moving to its Thursday nights on September 22nd.
Michael Schur -- co-creator of Parks and Rec and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and a writer on the US The Office -- returns to NBC this fall with The Good Place. As a whimsically bureaucratic look at the afterlife, The Good Place might easily remind you of Albert Brooks' Defending Your Life or the dark laughs of Beetlejuice, but it's still able to stand on its own as a slice of unique, fun TV.
But, while leads Kristen Bell and Ted Danson delight, the rest of the ensemble needs work. And that's what, I suppose, reminds me of Parks ad Rec here, despite the two shows sharing very little in common from a story standpoint. The rest of the players need to get fleshed out and - well - made funny, because right now Bell and Danson, and the quirky premise, carry the weight. However, I'm not too worried since, as of the pilot, only William Jackson Harper's Chidi and Jameela Jamil's Tahani make up the supporting players and Schur shows don't usually roll with only four characters. So it stands to reason that more characters will soon join the story and that everyone will eventually hone in on their comedic voice.
