Heaven and hell, two contradictory afterlife destinations, where the former is full of eternal rewards and joys, while the latter includes eternal ruin and torment. A person's actions and behavior on Earth determine the fate of their soul's destination after death, which means one must live a righteous and righteous life to enter Heaven. On the contrary, living a worthless life, full of sins and wrongdoings, will lead to hell as punishment. However, different world religions have different views and interpretations of life after death, and no one can be sure what to expect. These religious notions of the afterlife have become so ingrained in the world's society and culture, to the point that expressions such as "I feel like I've died and gone to Heaven" are included in everyday dialogue. A recent popular television series provides insight into a unique look at what the afterlife is like, and that's The Good Place, starring Kristen Bell. In The Good Place Kristen Bell plays the main protagonist, Eleanor Shellstrop, who has tragically (and embarrassingly) died when hit by a semi-truck and wakes up to find herself in "The Good Place", a heaven-like structure where good people and everything is perfect and personalized according to the tastes of the residents (Schur). To enter "The Good Place", a person's actions on Earth must add up to a high score, with higher scores allowing entry to certain people (Schur). Additionally, everyone is assigned a soulmate, someone who is compatible with another, and an intelligent assistant named Janet appears whenever she is summoned to serve someone's needs (Schur). Michael, one of the architects who designed “The Good Place,” informs and praises Eleanor about her former life dedicated to freeing innocent people
