I have a question about this show that I mean in absolute good faith but be forewarned that it’s going to come off in a “I am actually very smart” way.

Tap for spoiler

Are you meant to know from the beginning that they aren’t actually in the good place? I’ve seen enough episodes of “The Twilight Zone” to know that if someone tells you that you’re in the “good place” then you are absolutely not in the “good place”. With this knowledge I felt that I couldn't take it even the amount of seriously that it asked.

Is it me? Am I the problem? Or is it the children who are wrong?

~~Your spoiler tags aren't working.~~

It's something you can pick up on, but if you don't, it's an interesting twist. But the show isn't "over" just because you predicted it! There's still so much more.

For me (using boost for lemmy) the spoiler tag is working

Ah damn, looks like a problem with my client. Sorry, please ignore that!

I just watched the whole series recently. Yes, I agree, that big twist was so blindingly obvious from the series title. If it helps, the producers and writers knew that, too, and the reveal comes relatively early in the series, so no, that's not the big conceit of the whole show.
