If The Good Place hit the spot, these will too

Two things both keep coming back to: friendship and sitcom
The difference: Easier on the ideas than The Good Place

A messy young woman fumbling toward being better than she was
The difference: Teen angst with real darkness — and canceled after one season

Common ground: friendship
The difference: Takes it somewhere less cerebral than The Good Place does

Mike Schur's other machine for wringing warmth from flawed people
The difference: Grounded small-town politics — no cosmic stakes or twists

A bad person doing the karmic math and trying to balance the books
The difference: Blue-collar and simple — the ethics never get past the list

Both are built on the same subject: sitcom
The difference: Sits closer to crime than The Good Place does

An odd-couple friendship where opposites drag each other upward
The difference: Laugh-track raunch — the weakest writing on this list

A picture-perfect neighborhood narrated from beyond the grave
The difference: Soapy mystery seasons — secrets, not ethics, drive the plot

Witty and playful in the same breath

Warm comedy, and it commits to that

A manufactured afterlife whose pleasant surface hides a scam
The difference: Satire aimed at tech capitalism, not moral philosophy
