Grab some shrimpies and white chocolate—it’s The Good Place tonight!
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, October 3. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
The Good Place (NBC, 9 p.m.): Thursday. What a concept! And not just a concept, but an honest-to-god appointment-viewing day. Maybe you thought appointment TV died out with Game Of Thrones. You were wrong, because Succession happened, and all right, maybe Succession isn’t a Thrones-level phenomenon, but there’s also The Good Place, and in our hearts, at least, this is one we’ll always want to watch live.
A quick highlight from last week’s premiere:
Chase that pep talk with Dennis Perkins’ recap of “A Girl From Arizona, Part One” and our annotated guide to that episode. Did we miss anything? Shoot us a forking email at [email protected].
Regular coverage
How To Get Away With Murder (ABC, 10:01 p.m.)
Wild card
Superstore (NBC, 8 p.m.): Speaking of great NBC sitcoms, last week’s Superstore premiere got lost in the onslaught of series-launching episodes, but suffice it to say we’re excited about this season. Here’s a highlight from that premiere, as well as a big hint as to the major storyline of the season:
Superstore is not fucking around.
