The Good Place 4x7 Help is Other People
I am SO surprised to see that a year has passed already... That is definitely one great thing about this show. They don't mess about! It's just here a little sooner than I expected.
We're going to need those margaritas... And I'm not even a tequila gal!

Only a show like the Good Place could make me so annoyed with a character like Brent and then make me feel for him in the end.
I think Brent is a really interesting character. The writers clearly wanted to make someone easy to hate and wow did they succeed! He really seems like the last person you would want to spend any time with, especially eternity. I have seen shows with thieves and even killers that I empathize with more. However, his crime was not that he did anything too harmful, it was complete and total selfishness. He believed that the world revolved around him. Then they put him in an experiment where it kind of did. As he seemed to realize that he may not be as good as he thinks, his world was about to crash down on him. I do wonder where he would have gone had the experiment continued. As bad as he is though, at least he is not Dumb Shorts Cathy.
I have to say that I never liked this section (the new experiment with the 3 new humans and Chidi) as much as the rest of the Good Place. Not that it was terrible, but it just wasn't as amazing as the rest of the show. Part of that might just how gross Brent is. But I have to say, rewatching it with you has still been a delight. There are a lot of good bits in there. That said, I'm very excited to see how you feel about the back half of the final season.
