About the series

After her death, Eleanor Shellstrop wakes up in a mysterious afterlife where everything seems perfect. She soon learns that she has arrived in the Good Place, a paradise reserved for people who lived morally worthy lives. There is one problem: Eleanor knows she does not belong there. During her life, she was selfish and often treated other people badly. Afraid that her mistake will be discovered, she decides to hide the truth and learn how to become a better person. As Eleanor tries to fit into her new surroundings, strange events begin to disrupt the supposedly perfect neighborhood. Together with the other residents, she starts searching for answers and discovers that the afterlife is far more complicated than it first appeared.
