The Good Place - spoiler warning

[offramp]

Guys, I just watched the finale of The Good Place!

Was anyone struck by how pro-suicide the ending was? It was basically a love letter to assisted dying.

I don't think there are many people on this board who are ready to check out simply because they have already done and seen everything they wanted! However, it just goes to show that everyone wants out eventually.

I agree 100%. I don't believe that 'forever' exists. We live, we die, that's it.

The idea of living forever is legit horrifying.

I really enjoyed the end of The Good Place, I feel like it dealt with eternity in a great way- by letting everyone leave.

already done and seen everything they wanted!

its not the reason i want to CTB,but i do feel i have done and achieved things that i am happy with. so its definately not a reason for me to want to stick around!!

That is a healthy-ish headspace to be in.

Yo I love this show and I remember seeing the finale right before joining this site! I'd highly recommend anyone else see it because it's such an easy way to learn about ethics/moral philosophy, plus the ending is literally as pro choice as you can get! I really really really hope that the real afterlife is exactly like it is at the end of the show.

Im a bit like you, i feel like i achieve what i wanted from life, i could try to get better but I don't have the energy for it.

I loved the last season!! i wish the good place exist. But eternal nothing is ok too.

To elaborate a bit more, I genuinely think there's tons of things I'd love to be able to try from the good place that couldn't be completed in real life. Imagine being able to meet all kinds of previously dead people and have infinite time to experience all of the best shows, movies, music, and games that ever existed! There's definitely all kinds of places I'd like to see and experience even though I hate traveling. I only hate the actual traveling part of traveling though. If I didn't have to plan or pack, there's so many places I'd like to see and the good place would actually allow that. I could definitely see myself spending several million Jeremy Bearimies in the good place at the very least.

I'm not interested in trying to get back to how i was.been there, done that, got the t shirt. i haven't, not achieved the things i wanted too, so i'm fine with CTB
