The Good Place is a fantasy comedy show currently airing on Netflix. It follows Eleanor Shellstrop as she wakes up in the afterlife. In a bizarre case of mistaken identity she is sent to the nearly perfect “good place” instead of the terrible “bad place” she was meant to go to. Slowly as the show unfolds the good place starts to crumble because of her bad choices. Can she turn it around and become a good person to save herself and others?
This bizarre comedy makes for a great drinking game because there’s a ton of recurring tropes and themes to drink to.

The Good Place Drinking game follows a pretty steady pace. Most of these tropes do happen quite often although this show tends to have a lot of tempo shifts between episodes that will keep it pretty varied. The drink finishing rule won’t come up for quite a few episodes near the start of the series but will start to snowball so make sure to get those drinks ready.
