I hated the show completely when I first started watching it. For the reasons you described, but also the plot writing itself is just too stupid. People told me to continue and I did, and it doesn't really ever get good in those regards. It DOES get better though, I would say give it through 3-4 episodes into S2, which I would say is its peak.

I didn't know he also wrote Nosedive but it makes a lot of sense. They both definitely have the forced kinda writing you're talking about, but the plots themselves are also way too shallow for the amount of time and gravitas they pretend to have. It feels pretentious more than anything.

Like, a Community episode did Nosedive much better and with 1/3rd the time. That's how The Good Place feels too, even at its best. Like, did this really need to take this many episodes?
