[Cornballer]

Late start time tonight. I'll probably end up watching this on Thursday.

This is so good. Manny Jacinto can't deal.

LMAO, that was great. Those reactions felt way more authentic than I'm used to with reaction videos.

Well they're professional actors

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So I just started watching Season 1 last night on Netflix on a whim, and finished it today, only to find out Season 2 starts tonight?

Talk about good timing!

ME TOO.
*hi five

Heard about the fancy twist ending the season had and got curious (plus Michael Schur stuff hasn't let me down yet). To my surprise, yeah wow that twist indeed delivered on an otherwise very saccharine show and really change things up.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Here we go!

 

[Khansolo1]

Lol

 

[Baroquemantic]

This is great so far

 

[Penguin]

Yup

Now it's kind of like a mystery show

 

[Geist-]

I'm glad to see they didn't fork it up after that amazing finale. This episode is really damn good.

Edit:fork

 

[Seraphis Cain]

I'm glad to see they didn't fuck it up after that amazing finale. This episode is really damn good.

I'm sorry I think you mean fork it up.

But yeah, this has been great so far.

 

[VeryGooster]

I'm gonna go hit the gym

 

[Baroquemantic]

Gym guy is killing me.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Ted Danson is so amazing in this.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Butthole spiders

 

[Fuzzy]

Genius.

 

[TWrecks310]

This show is so good

 

[Geist-]

Michael's minions were the stars this episode.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

So, bets on "Real Eleanor"/Denise being the one to throw the wrench in Michael's plans this time around?

 

[Etzer]

Good start to the season!

Looking forward to whatever Real Eleanor / Denise does to spite Michael.

 

[Sir Doom]

Oh damn it started already

 

[User Name Here]

Oh... this should be fun. I didn't expect them to be back so soon. Sounds like it turned out good.

 

[TripOpt55]

I loved the premiere. Seeing the behind the scenes stuff with all the bad place people was hysterical. I forget the exact line but the bit about the penis flattener cracked me up. Just them casually mentioning all these horrible torture methods is always gold. Can't wait to see where this season goes.

 

[-Deimos]

Dammit Eleanor.

 

[Kas]

I actually left work just a touch early to get home to watch it, and it was well worth it.

I loved how all of it just went to shit all at once. Especially Jason, oh my god.

 

[Seesaw15]

I wonder if there's gonna be a thread about all the short guy shaming lol.

Good start to the season. Didn't realize how much I missed all these characters.

 

[aparisi2274]

I laughed the hardest when Elenor said Janet's name when she was talking to Chidi and Janet scared the hell out of her, and she said "Ahhh, get the fork outta here!"

 

[PK Gaming]

The real Bad Place is having to wait a week for this show to come back, because jesus christ that season premier was fire.

I want to see more of Tiya "Ferrari" Sircar's character. Master of None fucked up badly by making her a one-off.

 

[Baroquemantic]

So, bets on "Real Eleanor"/Denise being the one to throw the wrench in Michael's plans this time around?

I could see that being the case if she's not given the chance to show off her acting chops. Janet's the real wild card, though.

 

[Ourobolus]

i just binge watched the first season over the past few days and loved it. Excited for the new season!

 

[iiicon]

Drunk Tahani is everything.

 

[whyamihere]

Oh my god that was so good but I have no idea what happens next.

 

[Littlefang]

The show has really found its footing. I was legit laughing through the entire episode.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I'm loving the scenes with Real Eleanor

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Fantastic start to season 2 Michael will probably become more unhinged as the show goes on.

 

[JettDash]

So what happens when Michael's boss finds out he reset it again?

 

[MartyStu]

Okay, that was pretty brilliant.

The buildup was quite masterful.

 

[dLMN8R]

Oh man I love that these first two episodes sped through what I was worried the entire season would spend doing.

 

[W-00]

So, bets on "Real Eleanor"/Denise being the one to throw the wrench in Michael's plans this time around?

It probably won't just be her. There's a very strong chance that Janet will play a part in it as well. It takes a few days for Janet to reboot, and the last part of the episode takes place the next day, so there wasn't time for Michael to kill her again. She should still have her memories of that day, and Jason hugging her and proclaiming her his friend. And she might mention the note to Eleanor, which might make Eleanor ask for a copy of the note.

 

[MartyStu]

At this point, I am not sure if it is not the demons being tortured, and this entire thing is a human rehabilitation experiment.

 

[Baroquemantic]

That twist within a twist.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

At this point, I am not sure if it is not the demons being tortured, and this entire thing is a human rehabilitation experiment.

They certainly need a big twist on that level if they want to top S1's ending.

And so far, the writing has given me no indication that they won't.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Season 1 is supposed to be airing on UK Netflix today, I'm really excited to finally watch this.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Hm...so Mindy/the Middle Place wasn't a part of Michael's plan, right? That's actually a place that legitimately exists, right? I wonder if that'll come into play again.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Season premiere did a great job in resetting the stakes of Michael's plan.

Seeing the demon perspective was great with gym guy, biting demon, and Denise getting frustrated in her new role.

Also really weird seeing Tahani in regular clothes.

Jason's genuine affection for Janet is actually sweet to see.

 

[JettDash]

Hm...so Mindy/the Middle Place wasn't a part of Michael's plan, right? That's actually a place that legitimately exists, right? I wonder if that'll come into play again.

Nope. Janet told them about that and took them there and she isn't part of his plan.

[Sir Doom]

Oh wow what a premier. That was fun.

I can't believed they reboot right away
