[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Good Place” Season 2, Episode 4, “Team Cockroach.”]
Years from now, if NBC programming decisions and our ability to stave off nuclear annhiliation cooperate, there’s a chance that we could look back on “Team Cockroach” as the moment that things started to look up for the core group on “The Good Place.” Michael being cooperative with no obvious unspoken ulterior motive, Eleanor asserting herself to her companions and her nemesis, and Jason finding a nice comfy spot on the couch. Everything is as it should be. Of course, this is also a comedy where nothing is ever really as it seems.
The best parts of “Team Cockroach” play out in the bottle episode confines of Eleanor’s sensible nightmare clown foyer, with Michael and the tortured quartet deciding how best to move forward to spare all of their eternal souls. Each side of the truce argues that they have the upper hand, with the humans declaring that...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Good Place” Season 2, Episode 3, “Dance Dance Resolution.”]
The number of jokes that an episode of television has is rarely an effective form of measuring comedy. Some rapid-fire set ups don’t actually deliver on the volume of punchlines and just end up getting exhausting before too long. The double-episode premiere of NBC’s “The Good Place” had plenty of surprises that weren’t necessarily framed as jokes, but drew plenty of laughs by upending Season 2 expectations in a shocking way. Now that the series had established a firm foundation for a post-twist world, the third episode was the show’s chance to take a deep breath, to patiently and calml—
Just kidding. Everything went nuts.
“Dance Dance Resolution,” written by Megan Amran and directed by Drew Goddard (who also directed the original pilot), may not have had the narrative timeline wizardry that the premiere did. But this jam-packed look at Michael’s continued frustration in setting up...

I’ve listened to many podcasts during the long upstate winter and one of my favorites has been Karina Longworth’s You Must Remember This. It’s billed as a storytelling podcast exploring the secret and/or forgotten histories of Hollywood’s first century. I enjoy it because Longworth spins great yarns, with vivid insights, about Hollywood stars and their careers.
But I think there’s more to why it’s popular and why I enjoy it so much. I’m starting to realize that the inevitable ups and downs of yesteryear’s Hollywood Stars are analogous to the rollercoaster rides that categorize so many of today’s careers.
It’s astounding to hear about how a legendary star’s career might have floundered at one point, only to do a complete 360 as he or she gets cast in a successful blockbuster movie. Thundering successes and crushing failures become the...
