But what Bell does seems so simple and is actually so difficult… especially in season three, which would have already jetted off into space if not for her grounding it. In “Don’t Let the Good Life Pass You By,” she tells Chidi about the timeline where they were in love, faces down her impending doom, and gets a little horny while watching Janet fight a bunch of demons like something out of the Matrix. And that’s within about three minutes of screentime!

Eleanor is the protagonist of The Good Place, sure, but the longer it runs, the more she also has to be the walking, talking exemplar of everything it’s trying to say about systems of morality and the rigidity of all attempts to codify those systems. It’s one thing to see that via Doug, who’s so broken by his attempt to never hurt anybody that he won’t stand up for himself even slightly. But it’s even more powerful to see that via Eleanor, who is learning that she, too, can be a good person and all it might take is caring about others before she thinks of herself.

“Good Life” is another busy episode in a season where the plotting has felt a bit like homework (and I’m saying this about a show that delights in philosophy lectures). But it was also my favorite episode of the season so far, jam-packed with weird, delightful moments and grounded by one of Bell’s very best performances in a season already full of them.

Kristen Bell, “The Good Place”
Everyone on this outrageous, afterlife-set NBC series brings their own flavor of comedy to the proceedings, but Bell seems to have one of each ingredient; her Eleanor Shellstrop is deplorable, dumb, dark, or bizarro, depending on what a scene needs—and she’s always funny. While we’d never want to grab fro-yo with a scumbag like Eleanor, we’re with Bell at every turn.

i feel like eleanor season 3 is pretty much working her way toward becoming the best of us. i'd grab 'full cell-phone battery' or 'Five-Dollar-Bill You Find in Your Pocket Unexpectedly' flavor froyo with her, any day.
