The Good Place Digital Series Is Here to Remind You Just How Good the Good Place Is

It bridges the gap between Seasons 3 and 4

The writers of The Good Placeare very smart people, and they know that we're all one giant ball of mixed emotions as the final season of the NBC comedy approaches. We don't really want it to premiere because that means we'll be one episode closer to the end. But the show is so good that we also can't wait to find out what happens now that Chidi (William Jackson Harper) has had his memories erased. Maybe that's why they've released a new digital series starring Shawn (Marc Evan Jackson) and his devious demon cohorts to bridge the gap between Seasons 3 and 4.

The six shorts, subtitled "The Selection," are currently all available to stream on NBC's website or the NBC app, and they follow the demons as they try to decide which deceased humans to send to Michael's (Ted Danson) -- though maybe we should say Eleanor's (Kristen Bell)? -- newly formed afterlife neighborhood in an attempt to thwart his plan to prove that humans are capable of becoming better people.
