The Good Place- TV series review by Nuria

The Good Place is a Netflix sitcom about afterlife, but it isn´t a black comedy, it is quite light and offers laughs and philosophical lessons.
Eleanor Sellstrop (Kristen Bell), an immoral and selfish woman, died and is sent by mistake to the "Good Place". Her efforts to avoid being caught and to keep her spot in this sort of heaven are the main plot of this sitcom.
To help her in her quest Eleanor counts on Chidi (N.Jackson Harper), her "soulmate". Chidi, a professor of Moral Philosophy, agrees to teach her ethics so that she can become a better person and earn a legitimate spot in the "Good Place".
This unusual premise makes this series unique in today´s TV landscape, because more than just making people laugh it strives to make people think about moral issues. What does it mean to be good? What´s my real motivation to do what I do? Does the end justify the means?
I recommend The Good Place because it is a comedy and provides plenty of laughs and also because Eleanor´s journey holds up a mirror to our lives.
