Netflix’s Secret Supernatural Soaps Section Has Some Amazing Streaming Television

If you thought the afterlife was just harps, clouds, and eternal relaxation, Netflix’s The Good Place is about to throw you a celestial curveball.

Eleanor Shellstrop, portrayed by the brilliant Kristen Bell, wakes up in the afterlife and is told she’s made it to “The Good Place” because of her righteous life.

There’s just one tiny issue: they’ve got the wrong Eleanor. With the help of her new “soulmate” Chidi and a couple of other quirky afterlife residents, Eleanor tries to earn her spot before her secret gets out.

Created by Michael Schur, this heavenly comedy is a whimsical dive into morality, philosophy, and why frozen yogurt seems to be the afterlife’s dessert of choice.

Dive into Netflix’s The Good Place where ethics meets humor, and remember: not everything is as it seems in paradise!

Ever thought your family was a little… odd?

But life as a super-sibling isn’t easy. Fast-forward to a dysfunctional family reunion, the looming apocalypse, and the mystery surrounding their adoptive father’s death, and you’ve got yourself one wild, comic-book turned series ride.

Created by Jeff Rake, Manifest combines elements of supernatural intrigue with heartfelt family drama, creating a series where every episode brings a new revelation. And Netflix is responsible for saving this series after its original cancellation, so double points there.
