    How many of you enjoyed seeing "Chuck" aka Michael McKean playing another wacky character in the latest episode (Season 3 Episode 8)?

    It was a fun cameo, however I'm finding this season as a whole a little lackluster (ep 9 was an improvement though). They need to get the hell off Earth. :)

    I accidentally recognized him from behind. I made the joke “ha, it’s Chuck!” And then he turned around and it actually was.

    Only discovered The Good Place on Netflix last week. What a fantastic show. I never binge watch, but I can’t help it with this. Am currently on season 2 ep. 10. Ted Danson looks like he’s having an absolute blast in this show.

    Awesome show. Binge watched Seasons 1 & 2...am starting Season 3 soon. Is the season over already, BTW? I see only 9 episodes on On Demand

    All caught up now...waiting for Season 3 to resume. Having binge-watched it, I'm going to hate having to wait a week between episodes...this is an easy show to binge-watch.

    It is. At 22 minutes per show it’s easy to get through. I only recently got Netflix and Amazon Prime and am staggered by how many shows I want to watch and how many episodes there are of all of them!

    I’m currently binge watching Lucifer. A show I don’t recall being shown in the UK before. At 43 minutes per show and over 60 of them to catch up with, it’s taking some doing.:)

    Have to say episode 10 of season 3 was possibly the worst one yet. I don’t think I laughed once..

    Great season finale. I may have gotten something in my eye during the Eleanor and Chidi highlight reel.

    Yeah, I was starting to think the show had gone off the rails, but they recovered well in the finale.

    Laugh out loud moment for me in the last episode: a sign in the background - "Sushi And The Banshees" :p

    I wanted to make this my avatar signature, but it was too long. :cool: Truly, inspiring words to live by.

    After watching (most of) season's 4 opener, I'm out. This show's premise is well and truly played out and now it's just a series of embarrassing rearrangements of deckchairs on the Titanic! Too bad.

    This is the final season, and as much as I’ve enjoyed the show in the past, I’m glad. To be honest, I’d forgotten most of the events in the ‘cliffhanger’ of the final episode of season 3, so it took me a while to realise what was happening!

    Funny show with a great cast, but it’s had it’s day now. I’ll see it through, though.

    The season openers to most shows are a little bumpy - like a train changing tracks as it heads in a new direction.

    This show has never let me down.

    I've loved the show from the start, but the previous season wasn't great either, and sadly, this episode has done nothing to change course...

    The producers were smart to make this the final season. The premise is pretty much played out.

    My girlfriend and I were totally lost on the plot at this point. They should have taken a few minutes to explain.

    Totally agree with that. I recalled Chidi getting his memory wiped, but nothing else.

    5 min in decided to go back and watch final episode from last season to remember what was going on.

    So ... was Episode 9 (where Chidi has a note with "the answer") the final episode? A lot of flashbacks and recaps so maybe ...

    No. There are still four episodes left to wrap up the series. It returns on January 9th.

    Finally got around to S3 and just finished. I hadn't seen any episodes since S2 ended. I thought the season started great, but then immediately became a drag as soon as the group saw the portal and figured out Michael and Janet weren't who they thought. Next few episodes were a slog, but it definitely picked up when they got to Janet's void. Nice showcase for D'arcy Carden there.

    The setup of having a new group to torture the "core 4" by their presence seems okay, I guess. I thought Maya Rudolph as the judge was pretty good.
