carlton is no better than will and his moral high horse act drives me insane. he's a smug piece of garbage. So's will, but at least will is charming. carlton thinks he's better than everyone. will just thinks he's cooler.

Well yeah that's how you're supposed to feel at first, Carlton is the guy who thinks his money makes him white

He's only sympathetic at all *because* he's the butt monkey nerd everyone shits on Like if he were cooler and hotter and had social skills he would be irredeemable

That's why it's so powerful when you get those humanizing moments where you see just how much pain Carlton is in when his worldview gets rocked, like the episode where they go to jail or the episode where he gets shot

Is "The Good Place" not a sitcom or is it just so high quality that it's an aberration to be set aside?

The Good Place is Michael Schur's intentional meta deconstruction of the sitcom format The basic nature of the setting is this reference to "being trapped in sitcom hell", this cyclical thing where characters never actually change, the Seinfeld "no hugs no learning" rule

The fact that it was a "sitcom" where stuff actually developed and changed was like, the whole hook of the show. Also, that fact that sitcoms are like this isn't necessarily a bad thing and it doesn't make them lesser than shows that do develop. It's just different.
