THE GOOD PLACE
January 19, 2017  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON FINALE: The final two episodes of this season’s The Good Place are presented tonight – each with a cliffhanger that makes you wonder where the story, with Kristen Bell’s Eleanor trying to stay in a heavenly afterlife to which she’s been sent mistakenly, possibly will go next. After the first episode, at 8 p.m. ET, is over, you have to wait only a few minutes, and wade through a few commercials, to learn the answer. But after the 8:30 p.m. ET season finale is over, the questions linger. Questions like, will there be a season two? The show has lost almost half its audience since premiering last fall – but as an extended miniseries-type comedy, it’s been very satisfying. Creatively, it’s earned a renewal. But how much of a premium does NBC put on creativity right now?
