The Second Series of The Good Place, a sitcom/ serial-drama, is currently running on Netflix.
It is a really excellent philosophical and character-based comedy: funny, fast-moving, twisty, gripping, and extremely clever!
But, you must watch it from the beginning of the First Series, and in order...

Good shout! It's hilarious, and thought provoking. I didnt imagine you were the netflix type...you seem so serious, the thought of you relaxing in front of the TV is quite startling :-)
@David - I'm surprised at your surprise - although to be fair I don't *often* watch TV, except for cricket. (During England test matches the TV and radio commentary tend to be left running continuously for the full 7-8 hours, and I dip in and out of the day's play; from this you may gather that my wife has the same fanaticism.)
Ha - well I am NOT suprised at that somehow, given your cricket blog! In response to your good tv show suggestion I wonder whether you have seen the film 'i origens' which has a very intriguing spiritual theme and tackles the mindset of the hard-nosed evolutionary biologist vs spiritual perspectives including specifically reincarnation. You *might* enjoy this but not sure...
@David - I'll take a look...
Having arrived at the end of (the currently available) series of the good place on netflix, I have found another series called 'Once upon a time,' also on netflix, which may be of interest. The general plot synopsis: Imagine a world where magic is real but denied, where the famous and well-known fairy tale characters (Snow white, Rumplestiltskin, Jimety Cricket, the wicked witch, Hansel and Gretel, etc.) were living in this world in a small town and, unknown to them, had lived in previous lives as their fairytale or realer/authentic selves, before (thanks to a magical and powerful curse) they are transported to our world to live under the evasive and deniable dominion of a powerful evil force (the wicked witch of course and also the town mayor). But thanks to a small boy with a love of fairy tales and a mysterious old book of fairy tales, the town folk are gradually being offered the possibility of waking up to their true identities...
I have only watched first series so far but have found it intriguing and thought provoking, especially with the shows parallels to our actual spiritual situation. Merry Christmas!
I'll take a peek...
