This is the huge moral quandary at the heart of The Good Place: what does it mean to be a good person, what does it mean to be good, and can someone who is 'bad' learn to be 'good'?

We've seen that explored already, but it wasn't enough to appease the Judge, who was about to condemn them back to life in the Bad Place before Michael's intervention.

Now they've all got another opportunity to put things right, better themselves, and truly become good, but can they manage it? We've seen that Eleanor is capable, but the rest of them are going to have a lot more trouble in managing it, especially as Tahani and Chidi would consider themselves 'good' to begin with.
