The Good Place: Ethics 101


Listen Later

The Good Place was incredibly deft at taking complex ethical and philosophical questions and making them accessible for a general audience, and it often did this through evoking that tried-and-true TV metaphor for when the characters are learning a life lesson: the college campus.


This week we look at several other TV shows that used the college 101 course trope to explore deeper questions, like Community, Greek, and Boy Meets World. We also dig in to that mainstay of ethics discussions in pop culture: The Trolley Problem!
