Suits

Who is Michael? Is it Vicky in a suit? Well guess what, it was bad Janet in a suit and that was the whiplash twist that would make M Night incredibly envious I guess. I sometimes wish M Night directed an episode of The Good Place, and that there were more hard-edged British actors like Danny Dyer making guest appearances.

Micheal is innocent

Warning: Spoilers
The experiment is in process. Chidi and the others are showing their painting skills. A demon come from the bad place to turn things upside down claiming that micheal is actually vicki in a suit of micheal he himself made in the bad place. Eleanor and the others become suspicious but want to trust micheal to be himself. When the demon provides evidence that micheal is vicky and when micheal revealed that he lied 3 times to eleanor before. The group' suspicion increase. Janet makes a lie detecting device that made the demon explode. Turns out that Janet is actually bad janet and good janet is in the bad place. Bad janet entered the scene when that old woman who turned out to be a demon was captured and sent to the bad place on a train. Bad Janet sent good janet to the bad place and took her place. When micheal presented himself to explode as a sacrifice so that he can prove himself innocent an later come back after 3 months thinking that this would be the only way that they'd be on the safe side eleanor believes micheal. Now micheal and the other guy are heading to the bad place to bring good janet back and go on with the experiment that would conclude with going to the real good place based on the behaviours of the humans partaking the test.

Absolutely loved this episode. Fantastic acting from Jason and Janet again. Until the just before the end I had no idea what was going to happen... but I had the same thought as Jason when he called Janet girl.

Amazing

This episode was amazing.

WARNING:SPOILERS

There were a lot of theories that Glenn is the train driver so we could know that,but the rest? BRILLIANT If you think about it,it makes sense. Janet did act weird. And there had to be a reason that the last scene from "A girl from Arizona" was the train scene.It was very long, and there was much focus on Bad Janet so there was time for the swap. I like how they give a hint for the twists, but we don't focus on the hints so there's a great reason to re-watch the past episodes and focus on the hints. The "not a girl" twist is a great example. There were some hilarious scenes like the beginning and when Glenn blew up. Can't wait for the Janet rescue! Definitely 10/10

This is impossibly good

I'm a sitcom snob. Never did the hour-long dramas, never watched anything unscripted. Just sitcoms. Hardly a week goes by but I equate something in life to a bit from Seinfeld. So I feel quite confident in making this statement -- this episode is quite possibly the most creative television programming ever to be broadcast.

The acting is amazing, of course. Every single performance is Emmy worthy, and Ted Danson has reached the top of Mt. Olympus. But it's the writing that's underneath the show, holding it up, propelling it forward, that's so fresh and original and unprecedented and unique and vivid it makes you feel lucky just to experience the words as the characters speak them. And the plotting? Riding the rapid-fire shifts in clues and probabilities, combined with all the outcomes and reveals you never saw coming, is more thrilling than anything they got at Disneyland.

I would be sad knowing that this is their last season except for the fact that we're experiencing a great crop of sitcoms now. Sunnyside. Perfect Harmony. Young Sheldon. The Unicorn. Just to name a few. This is truly a golden age for sitcom writing on television. And none of it -- not the shows I'm watching -- is grotesque. Hooray for the sublime!
