Each Lead From The Good Place Ranked Worst To Best

6. Jason Mendoza

The reveal that silent Buddhist monk Jiyanu was actually Jason Mendoza from Jacksonville made for one of the shows most dramatic twists, and is an early moment to pique fan interest. Whilst this exposure made a fantastic conflict for the protagonist, Jason became far more than just a task for Elanor to manage.

Developing a real place within the cast, Jason quickly became one of the funniest characters within the group with great dialogue. Paired with a charming performance by Manny Jacinto, he was a welcome presence within the setting.

He sadly ranks at the bottom of this list because his involvement within the plot normally acted more as a diversion than a solution. The character very rarely makes positive contributions to solving problems, and whilst his antics are funny, they often cause issues for the others.

From a non-story focused perspective, Jason lacks a little as well. Although he had great development and character building, he is ultimately playing a role that exists in almost every sitcom. He acts as the dumb wild card character that audiences can laugh at. Whilst this is done well within the show, its setting and overall development of the traditional sitcom make the application of this character stereotype feel uninspired.

The fact that the loveable Jason is last shows how high the standards are for characters in this show.
