It's funnier and sharper than the first, but is it enough to make up for the show's many shortcomings and what...

We're back for another season of talking all things TV and what better way to start off than with the first TV obsession of 2019? Or the last TV obsession of 2018, depending on when you  binged it. Or maybe you were even one of the few who watched it on Lifetime like Mark. Either way, we have plenty to say about Joe Goldberg, Guinivere Beck, Peach Salinger, Karen Minty, stalking, bad fans, curtains and the lack of them and much more. We're glad to be back!

There may be no show more ambitious or insightful on all of television than The Good Place. Not only is it smart, hopeful, challenging and daring, it also happens to be very funny.Using everything from very intellectual humor to low-brow jokes and brilliant sight gags, the NBC sitcom is always able to earn MANY laughs in the midst of it's heady subject matter. We love this show and are so excited about the new season so this week, we decided to talk all about it.
