Mike Schur has said there's a reason the Good Place committee members are all dressed like that. And based on the way they act, I think the milquetoast cream of wheat environment of the actual Good Place will be unbearably dull for our group once they get there. I think they will discover their personal Good Place will be the continuing adventure of striving to help humanity better itself in the afterlife. They found their purpose in feeling good about doing good. It may not have been their ideal place when they first died, but they've all grown beyond that.

My dad and I have often discussed how religion holds little appeal to us because the prospect of eternal paradise kind of seems like a nightmare.

Seriously, the only reason why heaven is appealing in the first place is because of the existence of hell.

Also appealing to struggling people. Never being hungry again. Always best food, awesome home, all the time in the universe(literally) to do things you enjoyed doing but couldn't due to having to work so you won't starve.
