I enjoyed this critique of The Good Place, but would go further and argue that the problems with the story and worldbuilding in Season 3 are bringing out the worst in its premise of eternal bliss and damnation, and is in danger of destroying everything that was good or meaningful about the show.

What separation from parents does to children

“The effect [of forcibly separating children from their families] is catastrophic,” said Charles Nelson, a pediatrics professor at Harvard Medical School. “There’s so much research on this that if people paid attention at all to the science, they would never do this.”

This is an informative article but I think Dr. Nelson is dead wrong that people would never tear children away from their parents if they knew the level of harm it does to the children. Many don't care, and for still others that's the whole damned point.

'They know not what they do?' To hell with that )
