Yes, I watch it. Probably one of the only sitcoms I watch (the other being Brooklyn 99)
I think there's definitely more going on than we realize. Perhaps Elenor, Tahani, and Jason are the ones being evaluated, not the four humans chosen by The Bad Place. Meaning that while Simone, Brent, and John might not improve -- Elenor, Tahani and Jason (and Chidi) WILL have. And that it'll be proven at the end of the season when Elenor takes the blame for the experiment's failure to spare her friends, and the Judge reveals that while NO, the specific humans chosen by the bad place didn't improve, the original four humans proved THEY could.
