I started wondering if the show will end with one, more, or of all of team cockroach choosing to cross that door into the big unknown, after we see them enjoy eternity for a while. Just speculation, but it seems fitting, IDK.
I've wondered that, too, although it seems odd for a comedy. But then, TGP has always been more of a dark comedy, and it would be fitting. Also, one could suppose we don't know what's behind that door. Another world? More paradise? Or just permanent, quiet bliss. Which really isn't so bad. (That's also one of my theories on the actual afterlife, that it's less of a Good Place and more of a place of rest.) At the same time, Eleanor and Chidi especially have been waiting so long to be happy together...
What's interesting is that in a YouTube interview, Kristen Bell actually said she didn't like a theory that the Good Place would be boring because it was too good! ("Isn't that the goal?") It's interesting that the theory ended up being true. And that's honestly one of the things I've always thought to myself.
I've also read theories that the "unknown" is reincarnation, which could be interesting. And they are called Team Cockroach... but the show isn't really about life on Earth, so I'm not sure.
