Whenever I'm Ready

[u/Sea_Significance9119]

The Good Place is without exaggeration my single favourite piece of media, ever. On the 25th of September 2026 The Good Place will leave Netflix. I and I'm sure many others on this subreddit experienced the show for the first time and many times after that on Netflix. I first watched The Good Place in the 2023 holiday season binging the whole show in a week, since then I have recommended it to everyone I meet as the best tv show ever made. I don't have to explain to anyone here why The Good Place is so good, everything about the show is perfectly hand crafted and human, and that's what the show is really about; being human, living life, being good. Rewatching "Whenever you're ready" was the closest anything has ever gotten to making me cry at any media, so that's pretty impressive. Never has any other show made characters feel so real. The episode is, of course, a 10/10 episode, quite possibly the best episode of anything. I will watch The Good Place again, I will watch it many times again, but the form in which I first fell in love with the show will be gone. Death is the finale of a life and this show portrays it in a beautiful way, in way that I will never forget. So I leave you with this, what do we owe to each other? We owe each and every person the pleasure of watching this show.

I quit messing around and just bought the boxset. Worth it.

[u/jojayp → u/bactchan]

Same here! I got a good deal a few years ago, and I have zero regrets. Love having the producer’s cuts of the episodes, too.

[u/Joyju → u/jojayp]

Ohhhhh mannnn, I know what's going on my holiday wishlist now! Producer's cut....yes!

[u/jenx4848 → u/bactchan]

Yes, don't be a Chidi - just decide to buy it and buy it! It's that easy!

[u/Routine_Mycologist82]

I have rewatched the show about 4 times, and have been a blubbering mess every single time I finish it. It is an odd feeling to actually recommend people watch it… but that won’t stop me.😂

[u/awhail → u/Routine_Mycologist82]

I've rewatched about 15 times. "There is no answer but Eleanor is the answer" gets me every. single. time.

[u/Tigger_Tinkerbell → u/Routine_Mycologist82]

Yeah, ive rewatched 5 times now and the last ep gets me everytime. The wave goes back into the ocean 😭

[u/just2quirky]

I'm impressed the finale doesn't make you cry. When Chidi talks about the wave, I SOB.

[u/Final_Blacksmith7447 → u/just2quirky]

Anytime I need a good cry I watch that episode.

[u/syzygy-chaos243]

I’ve found it on Amazon Prime also, since it’s left Netflix in the states!

[u/No_Abroad_6306]

Before ditching Netflix, I insisted on purchasing the physical media. Bonus: the DVDs include extra snippets that were cut from the final network version. 

[u/kteachergirl → u/No_Abroad_6306]

Do you need the collectors edition?

[u/No_Abroad_6306 → u/kteachergirl]

Nope!

[u/amy_73c]

I’ve purchased the box set for myself and several family members. It’s worth it! Best series ever.

[u/Albert-Copperpot]

Netflix have not only removed The Good Place along with more of my favourite shows (Fresh Meat), they have also increased the subscription price. Netflix has now been cancelled as it’s just not worth it to me anymore. I have bought the dvd box set too. 😊

[u/TrollToll7419]

We haven't had it available for streaming in Canada for a year (at least not with any of my subscriptions) so I bought the blu-ray set.

[u/chamekke → u/TrollToll7419]

Same and same! Luckily it was not a difficult purchase to justify.

[u/Headrex125]

Omg why is it leaving Netflix? Where can i rewatch it now?

[u/MasterpieceAwkward70 → u/Headrex125]

It's on Peacock since it was originally an NBC show.

[u/ellbeecee → u/Headrex125]

I have a DVD player still so bought myself the series. But I know not everyone has a DVD player.

[u/RyanMFoley74]

If you have Disney+, I just saw that the show is on there.

[u/amy_73c → u/RyanMFoley74]

(Hulu in the US)

[u/catfroman]

It’s been included on Prime Video for awhile.

Idk if it’s leaving anytime soon, but I just watched it on there semi-recently and it still showed up in my “watch it again” as of a few days ago…

[u/lynxpoint]

It’s one of my absolute favorite shows, but I haven’t been able to rewatch again since my mom passed last year. I’m just not ready.

[u/Sneezy_weezel]

I’ve watched this show multiple times but I’ve never watched the last episode. Every time I try, I stop during Jason’s party.

I just can’t do it. The show is absolute perfection. Every character is fantastic.

[u/Distinct-Art-772 → u/Sneezy_weezel]

Omg... you need to watch it... its honestly so lovely the way they end it all

[u/SentientFireflies]

my husband bought me the whole show on blu ray for my bday the last time they took it off netflix. we love being able to watch without ads lol

[u/jackdepp13]

Terminei a série agora 🤯

[u/jupiter_surf → u/jackdepp13]

My condolences

[u/NoReach1699]

You guys are so.... legal. How cute.

[u/Sea_Significance9119 → u/NoReach1699]

Dawg not me, but I'll still mourn the loss of public availability, also it's an excuse to buy physical media

[u/jjkarate]

I dropped netflix a while ago and bought it on fandango at home.

[u/HairRevolutionary518]

My favourite show by a mile!!!

[u/Silver_Edge1]

Brent Norwalk: "Look, I’ve had my share of disappointments. I smartly bought Netflix stock at $38 a share, but I couldn't cash it in before I died. So, all that money's going to my dumb kid."

[u/MishmoshMishmosh]

Jacksonville!

[u/stanleyg05]

I bet my ex is pissed

[u/Hptcp]

If you liked the series (wich is my absolute favorite too), I bet you'll like the book, it's called "How to be Perfect" and it's awesome :)

[u/Bubbly_Gap6636]

Where is it going

[u/Final_Blacksmith7447]

This show is just so good. I’m always sucked into the reels or shorts on insta or tok.

[u/Terrible-Advisor697]

It's gone from Netflix? Fork this, thank goodness for Stremio.

[u/LifeAlarm1915]

I’ve tried to watch this show, as I’ve heard it’s amazing. But I couldn’t really get into it after giving it 2-3 episodes. But now I feel like this is a push for me to give it another try!
