The Good Place is not the only show streaming on Netflix that talks about the afterlife. If anything, it's just one of the many series included on the streamer's roster.
Here are 6 shows that share similar themes and storylines to The Good Place that are available on Netflix!
Dead to Me (2019-2022)
Dead to Me, as the title implies, is about grieving. This dark comedy series follows a hot-headed widow, Jen, who befriends an optimistic woman, Judy, at a grief support group after her husband's hit-and-run death, only to discover that Judy isn't who she seems.
Jen uncovers the uncanny connection Judy somewhat has behind the death of her late husband, leading to shocking twists.
Russian Doll (2019-2022)
Nadia, who is a cynical New Yorker, gets stuck in a time loop, where she keeps reliving her 36th birthday party every time she dies. Russian Doll explores themes of mortality, trauma, and connection as she unexpectedly teams up with a fellow time-loop participant, Alan, to break free and find the meaning behind the "curse."
If you recall the endless time loops The Good Place faced under Michael's manipulative tactics and the comedy despite the chaos, Russian Doll might be right up your alley.
Kim's Convenience (2016-2021)
Kim's Convenience spotlights the Korean-Canadian Kim family, who run a small convenience store in Toronto's Moss Park neighborhood. The series doesn't have similarities with The Good Place in terms of mortality and the afterlife, but it's another classic feel-good sitcom streaming on Netflix, and perfect for viewers who are into family dynamics, cultural clashes, and everyday micro-dramas.
A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017-2019)
Siblings Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves lost as they become the Baudelaire orphans who must try to uncover secrets about their parents' deaths while being pursued by their greedy, villainous guardian, Count Olaf, who constantly seeks their wealthy inheritance.
A Series of Unfortunate Events tangles with The Good Place in terms of teamwork in outwitting Olaf's numerous disguises and schemes as they navigate the dark, mysterious world they found themselves stuck in.
The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
The Haunting of Hill House centers on the fractured Crain family, who grew up in America's most infamously haunted house, where they are forced to confront their traumatic past as adults, while the supernatural forces linger in the atmosphere.
Think The Good Place if it's watched through the lens of the people on earth, suffering from the loss of their loved ones, and turn it into a psychological horror that deals with grief, addiction, and trauma.
After Life (2019-2022)
Tony Johnson is a writer for a local free newspaper in the fictional English town of Tambury, whose life turned upside down after his wife, Lisa, died from breast cancer. After Life explores the tragic impact of how grief can transform human behavior into something completely different.
In After Life's case, Tony's nice-guy persona turns into an impulsive, devil-may-care attitude as he takes his old world by storm.
