The Good Place

Anyone else see this?

Yes, have watched both seasons. Not bad as a light comedy - I like Ted Danson since his days on Cheers. This uses the usual Heaven & Hell of biblical conceptions complete with angels and demons and the whole tone is a little sarcastic or intentionally ironic. However, like most US comedies there's the moral in the tale and they don't even have to disguise it because that's the whole point: morality. So they do introduce a few interesting ethical dilemmas for the viewer to consider - often complete with reference to some classical philosopher. For example, is there a selfish motivation for your good deed, act of kindness or forgiveness? It reminds me of the time while driving my car when I slowed to let someone in from a side street only to be offended when he didn't acknowledge with a wave. Of course, I chided myself for expecting appreciation when the act should, like love, be unconditional. 

Another interesting exploration is whether the AI in the form of a computer generated woman (which should not, of course, possess a soul) can really feel love. And, of course, how we might feel about whether it should or not.
