According to Rotten Tomatoes, the third season of The Good Place has a rating of 98%, based on 47 reviews. I was quite excited about the third season. I'm really wanting this to be so.

The Donkey Doug plot was a bit over-drawn, leading me to think that maybe it's the episode Janet(s) that justified the 98% rating for season 3.

The Chidi virtual reality plot reminded me of Black MIrror.

I loved the Randy "Macho Man" Savage Airport!

The group also travel to Budapest, Hungary.

Chunzi He played the Girl Waiting for Taxi.

I found it the most ingenious twist that Donkey Doug was Jason's father, and the guy playing him did a good job. I also really liked the semi-tender finale in which Jason is willing to self-sacrifice himself and his dad does exhibit some good.

The entire break-up simulation was hilarious between Chidi's insanely failed attempts and Eleanor's pranks and her hitting on Simone.

Donkey Doug being revealed as Jason's father was great and Jason did actually get him to do some good in the end.

Also very subtle in the background but the "Macho Man Randy Savage (Non) International Airport of Jacksonville" sign made me die laughing.

WELL. This episode wasn't as bad as I remember it being. Maybe my mindset has changed since I last watched it. It's still definitely not a good episode. But I remember finding nothing enjoyable about it.

It's not a memorable episode by any means. It lacks any punch in the story and the characters we're stuck with for half the episode are dreadful. But there's a few moments that legitimately got a laugh out of me.

Mainly Janet feeling more like herself again, not using her powers but giving off the impression that she is. D'Arcy Carden is at least doing a good job playing a character who's not the same anymore. She's delightful and I love her.

Her VR simulation for Chidi to break up with Simone felt a lot like Michael'a descent into madness from the S2 "Dance Dance Resolution" episode, which I appreciated. The repeated scenario sequence isn't as entertaining as it was the first time, but it did lead to some pretty funny moments and while Chidi can be annoying, William Jackson Harper sells it well at least. The dude is a better actor than he's given credit for.

NOW. The A-story in this episode is the single most uninteresting, pointless, unfunny plot line this show has come up with overall. I've never found Jason's backstory's characters to be entertaining. I find the dumb "Florida-ness" wore off somewhere in S2. Characters like Pillboi and (sigh) Donkey Doug are just so obnoxiously annoying. I already don't find Jason funny anymore, but dealing with 3 characters of his caliber is just awful. And in the end the story went absolutely nowhere since the characters were unable to be redeemed. Like what was the point.

The only good thing to come of that story was Tahani's pure confusion and frustration with Jason's life. Comments about DD biting Buzz Lightyear and reminding DD that he's Jason's dad. Two short comments but I found them funny and I really felt the frustration Tahani was feeling.

This episode is a major low point, there's no way it can get worse than this. I've been dreading reviewing this episode and this is exactly why.

It's easily skippable except for a couple little moments, and it's officially where I feel this half of the season died. I know we're getting close to returning to form with more afterlife stuff, reincluding Sean and (I think) Janet having her powers again.

I'm just so glad to be leaving the Australia section soon. Because it has not been fun. But hey. At least the horrible nihilism is out of the picture now, right?

This was the single worst episode, and only bad episode of "The Good Place" I have ever seen. It killed the whole show in one episode.. I can't even...The worst part is that it was a funny enjoyable episode. But it also killed every single plot device we had going this season. I don't understand what is going to happen. It was like that was the end of season 3 and that a new arc is starting now. The "saving" people idea sure did not last long. No more love triangle? why...it was working as a good plot device.

I really lost interest during the virtual reality section. Again, it was actually pretty funny. But it was also stupid and way, way off character for the show in general.

I know i said this was still an enjoyable episode so I left 1 star on there. But in all other aspects it has been ruined. Im not sure if the show can be funny anymore.
