Not only do I believe it, it feels obvious. It's a meticulously crafted show, perfectly lovely, that grapples with some of the biggest questions of existence in such a lighthearted, entertaining, and cozy way that you never feel condescended to, overwhelmed, or crushed. The ethics and philosophy are the point from the beginning yet the show never feels dry or boring for a single second, not because of the zany afterlife shenanigans but because the characters are so, so fantastic.

I agree with PunnyName, I think I need to rewatch it after Tuesday. Also Joe Pera.
