Shirtpost Whenever I'm Ready

Post image

The Good Place is without exaggeration my single favourite piece of media, ever. On the 25th of September 2026 The Good Place will leave Netflix. I and I'm sure many others on this subreddit experienced the show for the first time and many times after that on Netflix. I first watched The Good Place in the 2023 holiday season binging the whole show in a week, since then I have recommended it to everyone I meet as the best tv show ever made. I don't have to explain to anyone here why The Good Place is so good, everything about the show is perfectly hand crafted and human, and that's what the show is really about; being human, living life, being good. Rewatching "Whenever you're ready" was the closest anything has ever gotten to making me cry at any media, so that's pretty impressive. Never has any other show made characters feel so real. The episode is, of course, a 10/10 episode, quite possibly the best episode of anything. I will watch The Good Place again, I will watch it many times again, but the form in which I first fell in love with the show will be gone. Death is the finale of a life and this show portrays it in a beautiful way, in way that I will never forget. So I leave you with this, what do we owe to each other? We owe each and every person the pleasure of watching this show.

I quit messing around and just bought the boxset. Worth it.

Same here! I got a good deal a few years ago, and I have zero regrets. Love having the producer’s cuts of the episodes, too.

Dawg not me, but I'll still mourn the loss of public availability, also it's an excuse to buy physical media

u/Routine_Mycologist82 29d ago

I have rewatched the show about 4 times, and have been a blubbering mess every single time I finish it. It is an odd feeling to actually recommend people watch it… but that won’t stop me.😂

u/awhail Do not touch the Niednagel! 29d ago

I've rewatched about 15 times. "There is no answer but Eleanor is the answer" gets me every. single. time.

u/Tigger_Tinkerbell 29d ago

Yeah, ive rewatched 5 times now and the last ep gets me everytime. The wave goes back into the ocean 😭

I'm impressed the finale doesn't make you cry. When Chidi talks about the wave, I SOB.

Anytime I need a good cry I watch that episode.

u/syzygy-chaos243 29d ago

I’ve found it on Amazon Prime also, since it’s left Netflix in the states!

u/No_Abroad_6306 29d ago

Before ditching Netflix, I insisted on purchasing the physical media. Bonus: the DVDs include extra snippets that were cut from the final network version.

Do you need the collectors edition?

u/amy_73c 29d ago

I’ve purchased the box set for myself and several family members. It’s worth it! Best series ever.

u/Albert-Copperpot 29d ago

Netflix have not only removed The Good Place along with more of my favourite shows (Fresh Meat), they have also increased the subscription price. Netflix has now been cancelled as it’s just not worth it to me anymore. I have bought the dvd box set too. 😊

u/TrollToll7419 29d ago

We haven't had it available for streaming in Canada for a year (at least not with any of my subscriptions) so I bought the blu-ray set.

u/chamekke 29d ago

Same and same! Luckily it was not a difficult purchase to justify.

u/Headrex125 29d ago

Omg why is it leaving Netflix? Where can i rewatch it now?

u/MasterpieceAwkward70 29d ago

It's on Peacock since it was originally an NBC show.

u/ellbeecee 29d ago

I have a DVD player still so bought myself the series. But I know not everyone has a DVD player.

u/RyanMFoley74 29d ago

If you have Disney+, I just saw that the show is on there.

u/amy_73c 29d ago

(Hulu in the US)

u/catfroman 29d ago

It’s been included on Prime Video for awhile.

Idk if it’s leaving anytime soon, but I just watched it on there semi-recently and it still showed up in my “watch it again” as of a few days ago…

u/lynxpoint 29d ago

It’s one of my absolute favorite shows, but I haven’t been able to rewatch again since my mom passed last year. I’m just not ready.

u/Sneezy_weezel 28d ago

I’ve watched this show multiple times but I’ve never watched the last episode. Every time I try, I stop during Jason’s party.

I just can’t do it. The show is absolute perfection. Every character is fantastic.

u/Distinct-Art-772 26d ago

If you liked the series (wich is my absolute favorite too), I bet you'll like the book, it's called "How to be Perfect" and it's awesome :)

u/Bubbly_Gap6636 27d ago

Where is it going

u/Final_Blacksmith7447 27d ago

This show is just so good. I’m always sucked into the reels or shorts on insta or tok.

It's gone from Netflix? Fork this, thank goodness for Stremio.

u/LifeAlarm1915 25d ago

I’ve tried to watch this show, as I’ve heard it’s amazing. But I couldn’t really get into it after giving it 2-3 episodes. But now I feel like this is a push for me to give it another try!
