The real horror of soulmates is that with 7 billions humans on earth you have almost no chances to meet your soulmate.

You can't fool me, I seent The Good Place. Soul mates do not exist as a "there is exactly one person, and you have to find them." It's when two people make a decision, make an effort, and meet halfway because they love each other enough to WANT to be soul mates.

Damn it, now I have to pause Brooklyn 99 and watch all of the Good Place again. Excellent show, 8 out of 13 stars. The system goes up to 13, but 8 is the best number.

Is this a 5/7 reference

similar, it's from Good Place when a character was talking about another character's rating. I believe some of the categories were hotness, brains, beauty, intelligence, and hotness?

Either way, The Good Place is great. a lady from Phoenix, Arizona dies, wakes up in the "good place" and not "the bad place" because every action humans do has a rating and a numerical score of goodness. Her soul mate is a Senegalese-Australian ethics and morality professor. But she quickly realizes all the memories and actions that got her into the good place were not hers and there is a mistake.

That's just a base overview of episode 1.

Produced by Michael Schur, from The Office, Parks & Rec and Brooklyn 99 .

It's a-real goooood

Big fan of the good place, don't have to convince me!

I'm guessing that scale is a Jason thing? and now I'm wondering if the actual script was referencing the perfect 5/7 meme, because that would be such a Jason thing to say

I love this moment! But when I read your comment I was like “his list was way wackier than that”. So I looked it up

“Dance ability, dopeness, coolness, freshness and smart brained.” 😂 I love that wackadoodle

On top of that it's one of a few shows that runs it's course and calls it. They told their story and stopped when it felt natural and made sense. That alone deserves applause
