The Good Place came to a close with a triumphant, moving episode of television that houses what the show does best: gentle, absurd humor; moments predicated on emotional openness; arguments about the possibility of goodness in human beings. “Whenever You’re Ready” www.TvShqipOn.com , boasts particularly moving dynamics between Chidi (William Jackson Harper) and Eleanor (Kristen Bell) as he decides to walk through the door that ends his existence, having felt a sense of peace and completion long before Eleanor is ready to. Even if their relationship occasionally sidetracked the series during its run, the finale, written and directed by Michael Schur, burnishes it with feeling and demonstrates just how far these characters have come. But it’s not just Eleanor and Chidi — every character gets a moment that highlights their growth, their voice, and their humor without pandering to the audience, giving us a bittersweet, teary-eyed send-off that beautifully encapsulates why this was one of the best shows on television.
Its recently wrapped second season cements it as one of TV’s most uproarious and engaging superhero adaptations, one with a distinct voice, an assured handling of tonalities, and a willingness to play viciously with the canon. Harley Quinn has many pleasures: Its voice acting perfectly captures the distinctive characters, with Giancarlo Esposito as Lex Luthor and Diedrich Bader as Batman being particular highlights; the character design is eye-catching; the narrative is bawdy and heartfelt in equal measure; characters curse and inflict violence with abandon. The show also isn’t afraid to lovingly make fun of Batman while carving its own bloody path, which includes exploring with panache the dynamic between Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Poison Ivy (Lake Bell). It’s easy to be overcome by the show’s aesthetic, sonic, and narrative swagger — I mean, there’s a cursing plant named Frank, and beloved Batman rogues sometimes die! (This show has real stakes, unlike so many superhero adaptations.)
