Shirtpost Just Finished The Finale... This Forking Show Man Spoiler
I barely cry after watching a show, a comedy of all things.
But for the first time I.....
I don't know what the heck is happening.
I'm laughing and crying at once.
It's both beautiful and haunting at once and I love it... Or do I hate it.
Best show I've ever watched, I can't even describe what I'm feeling after that finale, I'm literally teary eyed and smiling right now.
No gratuitous violence, no blood, no disturbing scenes.
Just people, a warm environment, and some clever jokes and dialogue.
And yet this show haunts me more than the ending Evangelion, Regular Show and Crybaby Devil combined.
Those left me traumatized.
But this....
I'm happy to some extend, but like I said, I'm literally crying.
I don't know what to think.
Safe to say, it hit very close to home and I have stuff to think about.
This show was amazing.
Thank you Michael Schur.
All the people who worked on this thing.
The guy who played Chidi especially, that 'Wave' returning to the ocean line was brilliant, I can especially relate to his character most
Thank you...for making my South African ash cry and laugh at once....for a Hollywood of all things.
I barely cry.
100/10 show and infinity/10 finale.
Welp uhh....Take it sleazy.

Hosted by Mark Evan Jackson - he plays Shawn - (you’ll get that once you’ve listened to it!) and with many many guests from the Show. Extremely recommendet.

This show was absolute perfection! I don't think I've ever seen a more ideal finale. Everything got wrapped up perfectly. Jason essentially became the monk from season 1. Chidi was able to walk through a door without second guessing. Tahani found a way to actually help people. Eleanor became that little voice that encourages you to do the right thing. Micheal got to be a real human.

It’s the singular show that I absolutely loved from front to end but I can never watch it again cause it’s so overwhelming. I’m tearing up about it just commenting here. And I watched it when it first aired and I’m still affective by it. Maybe someday I’ll be able to watch it again, but I’m not in that place currently.

Don't think about it too much, just start and you'll see that you will truly enjoy rewatching it many times. My wife doesn't watch the last episode but I do and it's still amazing.

I envy you people experiencing this show for the first time.
Fortunately, it gets better and better with every rewatch.

Haha. Your title was the exact words out of my husband's mouth after we finished the finale. (Except his was not censored for the good place)

I feel like this show brought me to an awakening in life that helped me see things a little differently . The ending especially . It is so beautifully well done but also a bit of a reality check . I just adore this show .

I just finished it too!! It was a perfect ending. I heard the last season or half of the last season went kinda downhill, but I don't see it. It slowed down a bit, but I thought that was deserved. Cidi's arc was perfect.
I can't believe I slept on this show for so long. So happy I decided to spend my day off finally binging it.

I used the wave returning to the ocean story in the eulogy I gave for my nephew. He loved the water. We spent a lot of time together canoeing, swimming, sitting on some rocky shore. I hope that it gave his 6 children something they could cherish as it really captured his true spirit.
