Twenty minutes into a conversation with a small room of critics following an early screening of "Janet(s)" — the midseason finale of The Good Place — series creator Mike Schur cuts himself off in the middle of an answer. "You can tell, by the way, how much we've been dying to talk about this, because you guys have asked, like, one question."
