The Televerse #440- Spotlight on The Good Place

The premieres and finales just keep rolling, and this week on the podcast, we’re diving in with a big one. The Good Place wrapped up its four season run last week, and this episode, Noel and Kate give it its due, spotlighting the finale with a lengthy chat before looking back on the final season and the series as a whole. Before that, though, there’s a full week of TV to discuss. We kick things off with the comedies and some reality, including the Brooklyn Nine-Nine double premiere, Fresh Off the Boat, Schitt’s Creek, and a few thoughts from Kate on the Superbowl LIV Halftime Show. Then we move over to drama and genre and look at the premieres of Briarpatch and The Sinner, Stumptown, Doctor Who, The Flash, and a delightfully musical DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Take a listen, then reach out with your thoughts on The Good Place, the Superbowl, and anything else catching your TV fancy.
