What critics said: "By not going off the rails just yet, HTGAWM creates a bit of suspense and intrigue." — The AV Club (Season 5)
4. "The Good Place" season 4 — NBC, September 26
NBC
Description: "From creator Michael Schur (‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ ‘Parks and Recreation’ and ‘Master of None’) comes a unique comedy about what makes a good person.

While hiding in plain sight from Good Place Architect Michael (Ted Danson – ‘Cheers,’ ‘CSI’ – in an Emmy Award-nominated performance), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and earn her spot."
