The Good Place

What made me happy about Gunnar and Antonio wasn't just seeing a queer couple onscreen, although that's always welcome, but specifically the fact that there was a queer couple in the Good Place. The show seemed to be making a point of saying "LGBT people are good enough to get into heaven, too." And then it turned out not to be heaven, and the good queer couple turned out to be demons, and I've been uncomfortable about that ever since. All the more so given the lack of a canonical same-sex relationship among any of the sympathetic characters. (The bit with Tahani as Eleanor's soulmate was great as far as it went, but it's only one tiny moment in one iteration of these characters out of hundreds.) I don't mean "OMG THE SHOW IS HOMOPHOBIC," but I'd like to see it do better.
