The Good Place(2016)

This series is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Romans 3:23","theme":"All have fallen short","description":"The revelation that no one has qualified for the Good Place in centuries because moral life is too complex for clean scores enacts Paul's diagnosis: all have sinned and fallen short. The show is a comedy about the impossibility of self-justification."}, {"reference":"Philippians 1:6","theme":"God completing the work begun","description":"Michael's accidental creation of the conditions for genuine moral growth — his torture neighborhood that becomes a sanctification space — mirrors Paul's confidence that what was begun will be completed. Even the bad conditions are redeemed for the purpose of becoming."}, {"reference":"1 Corinthians 13:12","theme":"Knowing fully as we are fully known","description":"The show's final Good Place — where the characters finally understand themselves and each other clearly — is structured around the Pauline hope: the partial knowledge of this life replaced by the full knowledge of the life to come."}, {"reference":"Revelation 21:5","theme":"Behold, I make all things new","description":"The show's reconfiguration of the afterlife — making the Bad Place into conditions for genuine growth, the Good Place into something actually good — enacts the Revelation promise of cosmic renovation: the old system revealed as broken, the new system making all things genuinely good."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
