10 TV Show Endings That Get Better The More You Think About Them
2. The Good Place - Whenever You're Ready
As far as TV show finales go, there are none more profound than The Good Place's, which follows Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani and Jason as they finally enjoy Heaven after what feels like an eternity of struggle for peace.
But Whenever You're Ready presents one last problem: Everyone in Heaven is destined to be there forever with no escape. It's a conundrum to which Eleanor conjures a heartbreaking but beautiful solution, giving everyone a chance to spend all the time they want in Heaven before giving themselves back to the universe.
Though on paper the idea that every character will inevitably erase themselves from existence once they feel complete enough to move on is a deeply depressing one, it elegantly captures the heart and soul of the show, tackling the idea that perfect things are only perfect because they have to end.
Watching Eleanor, Chidi and Jason vanish into the cosmos is wrenching, but beautiful when you consider how far they've come to grow and find peace in a complex world none of them felt entirely at home in.
