People ‘can’t stop re-watching’ show on Netflix with ‘big plot twist’ | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Television audiences have been busy discussing which programme features the “biggest plot twist” and it seems there’s one show that distinguishes itself from the rest.

The question was raised in Reddit‘s ‘Watchever’ community after a user sought recommendations as to what shows they should watch next. “What TV show had the biggest plot twist you never saw coming?” they enquired in a post.

“What’s a TV show that completely shocked you with a plot twist you didn’t expect at all?” The Reddit user explained: “The kind that makes you pause and think, ‘Wait… what just happened?’ For many people, shows like Mr. Robot or Westworld had moments like that. Which one got you the most?”

It encouraged several people to highlight a four-series sitcom that initially broadcast in 2016 and is currently available to stream on Netflix. “This is as good of a place as any for my regular reminder for people who haven’t seen The Good Place to give it a try,” one individual declared.

“The concept seems a little cheesy at first, until you realise that it’s actually about way more than what it seems like in the first season. And aside from the deeper philosophical stuff, it’s really f***ing funny.”

A second concurred, joking: “The Good Place… then The Good Place… then The Good Place again.”

A third fan urged: “You need to go on the journey the characters go on. That’s the great thing about The Good Place; the show doesn’t give the characters the answers, they figure them out. And as a result it isn’t preachy about the philosophical stuff, even though the show definitely has a point that they wanted to get across about mortality.”

Whilst a fourth Reddit user applauded: “It’s a sitcom structured like a mystery box drama, ending each episode with a cliffhanger. It’s easy to binge because of this. And unlike dramatic mystery box shows, the ending is amazing.”

However, a fifth who was initially doubtful admitted: “I didn’t watch The Good Place until it was on Netflix and from the first episode I thought something was off and kept looking for little hints here and there but never really anything that really stuck out on the first watch. Now on the second watching… I have noticed a lot more.”

The comedy stars Kristen Bell as Eleanor Shellstrop, Ted Danson as Michael and William Jackson Harper as Chidi Anagonye.

Netflix’s sysnopsis reads: “Due to an error, self-absorbed Eleanor Shellstrop arrives at the Good Place after her death. Determined to stay, she tries to become a better person.”

On IMDb, the programme boasts an impressive rating of 8.2 out of 10 based on 219,000 reviews.
