I get that, but I dislike "sitcoms," where the story is different each week based on some situation that week. I much prefer a narrative that lasts the whole season, where the humor comes naturally rather than from goofy characters.
I guess "The Good Place" was marginal in that respect, but I enjoyed it anyway.
I wouldn't consider the good place in any way whatsoever to be a weekly sitcom with only situational stories. It was very clearly not marginal it was very clearly one large overreaching story. I would say the same holds true for basically every show I listed there. Some more than others of course. Parks and Rec and Brooklyn have more sitcom like feels perhaps but they do also still have large overreaching stories. Whereas a man on the inside is much like the good place in that it's solely one large overreaching story.
