Thanks to some kind of error, Eleanor Shelltstrop, an ordinary woman, enters the afterlife and is sent to THE GOOD PLACE - which is definitely not where she belongs. While hiding in plain sight from Michael, the wise architect of the Good Place who is unaware he's made a mistake, she's determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome person within. Helping Eleanor navigate her new surroundings are Chidi, her open-hearted "soulmate" who sees the good in people but finds himself quite facing a dilemma, her frustratingly perfect new neighbours Tahani and Jianyu; and Janet, a walking, talking source for all the knowledge in the universe.
