I'm only two episodes into The Good Place, but so far it reminds me a LOT of, like, a comedy version of The Prisoner.
@cute_weeds TBH, I would have started watching way sooner if someone pitched in to me as "The Prisoner but a comedy".
They even stole the one good idea that the terrible 2009 Prisoner reboot had (other than casting Ian McKellen as Number Two).
@kara @cute_weeds THEY REVEALED WHY NUMBER SIX RESIGNED.
@tobascodagama @cute_weeds oh, I can imagine the writers saying to themselves, "see, now we've given him 'motivation'! it's better! really!"
@cute_weeds @tobascodagama there was an attempted "Prisoner" remake? what a spectacularly bad idea. I don't recall ever hearing about it, it must have been shambolic
