I've watched S1 3 times nowSeason 1 is now on Netflix if anyone is looking for some new Netflix fodder. Season 2 starts in September.
For those that have already watched Season 1:
I started rewatching this week on a whim because I was curious how it would play after the big reveal of the final episode of Season 1, and it's great. The writers were remarkably consistent with the gag. Michael never appears as a well-intentioned guide without one of the four characters there, and some of the things they do to make the four character's existence more difficult make more sense and are funnier with the knowledge of what's going on. Also Chidi's indecisiveness is more glaring and annoying- first time through he just seemed like a nice guy stuck in a bad spot. And while you always knew Tahani was annoyingly pretentious, the character works better when you know it's a fatal flaw rather than just being confused as to how her charitable work outweighed it. If you're bored and looking for something to watch during the summer lull it's a fun re-watch
I don't remember the ads, but the show is not a joke machine in the mold of 30 Rock or something. It is very funny, just not in the usual way. It's also more serialized than any half-hour comedy I can remember, which makes it pretty ambitious and interesting. Also there's a lot of funny material that would only make sense once you get the basics of the afterlife "universe" in which the show takes place, that stuff probably wouldn't be easy to put into a commercial.The jokes on the advertisements seemed so obvious and corny. Was that just a poor sample they chose for the ads?
I'm assuming something, but assuming makes an...It will be interesting how they work out of that season 1 finale.

oh, forget it.
I lost track of this one on initial airing, but when I heard about the direction it took I was intrigued and revisited. Great fun and looking forward to new episodes.For those of you still sleeping on this show, and for the record: WAKE THE HELL UP, you've got about a week to binge watch season 1 to be ready for the start of season 2 next week.
Seriously, only about a dozen episodes and it is a fantastic show.
It takes a certain amount of intelligent acting ability to play someone that dumb.Jianyu is the best character on the show. I will die on this hill.

Unless they keep Tahini in cargo pants and jean jacketsAwesome start. Very impressed with the direction they've taken.
P.S. GDB Hawaiian Pizza, of course that is what they have in hell.I am both excited and worried about the pizza in season 2.
great season 1 call back!*gasp* Oh no! I used almond milk in my coffee even though I knew about the negative environmental impact.
He's my second favorite to Janet, she cracks me the fork up. Her "failsafe" to keep people from turning her off and then the message when they did turn her off was LOL. Pairing her with Jianyu was comedy gold.Jianyu is the best character on the show. I will die on this hill.
Got a feeling this show is going to work hard to reward people often who are watching that closely.great season 1 call back!
I didn't catch on that the actress also portrayed "Bad Janet" until after several scenes with her. I mean that as a compliment to her work, dropping so deep into character I didn't recognize her.He's my second favorite to Janet, she cracks me the fork up.

Same here, I had no idea the first few times, I think they even colored her hair different or made her wear a wig or something.I didn't catch on that the actress also portrayed "Bad Janet" until after several scenes with her.

Initially I abandoned it after the first three episodes. Went back and revisited after hearing about how Season 1 finished. Fair to say "it eventually grows on you" describes me, but I watched it through a slightly different filter.I guess I should give this show another shot. My wife and I watched the first couple of episodes when they first aired and thought it was pretty horrible. Did we give up on it too quickly? Any chance that it eventually grows on you, or did all of you like it right away?
Took me a bit to realize what they were doing, but the reveal that it was a total goat rodeo behind the scenes with the "demons" complaining about their roles had me .This show is fantastic. The season 2 premiere was hilarious.
Thanks. Next time I'm searching for something to watch, I'll try it out again.Initially I abandoned it after the first three episodes.

My DVR cut out right after that while focusing on Michel's smile... did I miss anything?New best friends!
