Michael Schur created the Good Place and just released a book on philosophy, particularly the teachings he found the most interesting. The audiobook has him as the main narrator, but Todd May (professional philosopher) and the main cast of the show also read for it. I'm not far at all in it, barely chapter two, but I can tell you this: Ted Danson needs to do more voice work.
And evil laughter

I saw a post about Micheal Schur’s book on How To Be Perfect,
And… yes it’s about philosophy and has so much juicy bunk like that, but…
We get hilarious crap like this…
(It’s even better with the audiobook, ft: Ted Danson, Jameela Jamil, and Marc Evan Jackson)

If you liked the Good Place or Michael Schur stuff In general, I highly recommend his book "How to be Perfect: the Correct Answer to Every Moral Question."
The audiobook in particular is delightful. It's narrated by Schur, with cameos from the Good Place cast.
It's a great way to learn about complex moral philosophies in a way that is both fun and entertaining, and also relevant to everyday stuff.
He has a whole section grappling with what to do when a person or peice of media or something that you desperately love turns out to be evil. He discusses how we can deal with that while not supporting something or someone evil, but also coming to terms with the fact that this thing will always be a big part of us (his example is Woody Allen, but I found it very relevant the whole JK Rowling thing).
Anyways, if you found the glimpses into moral philosophy on TGP interesting and want to learn more, I really reccomomend this book.

Freaking love Chris Traeger and Ben Wyatt's friendship because they're literally just the modern day version of Charles "golden retriever" Bingley and Fitzwilliam "constipated turtle" Darcy

I have noticed the comedies i have liked in recent time range from horrors to delights and how the system be it heaven/hell, criminal, legal, educational, sports, entertainment - it is made by individuals and affects individals and only people can make the difference and change it
