Wait, Lawrence Durrell, who wrote the Alexandria Quartet? I guess I know a Durrell from that side.
He is indeed one of the Durrells. However, the TV series owes more to the memoirs of his younger brother Gerald. When I was a kid, his memoir,
My Family and Other Animals,
was the funniest book I'd ever read. (Mostly thanks to Larry.)
Larry was designed by Providence to go through life like a small, blond firework, exploding ideas in other people's minds, and then curling up with catlike unctuousness and refusing to take any blame for the consequences.
Including having an incestuous relationship with his daughter (who hung herself) which isn't as cozy as Gerald's life.
So, The Good Place will end with the upcoming fourth season.
THR has a long interview with Mike Schur, here: [link]
Yeah, I get that they can't keep juggling things forever, but I will miss it. At least they're going out on Schur's terms.
Y'all, don't forget The Good Place is back tonight! 9 p.m. Eastern!
The Bad Place official song almost killed me I laughed so hard.
Yeah. Dh rewound it two or three times. We were a little surprised they could use it (since it was in a derogatory sense).
Maybe it was a small enough snippet that it didn't matter?
Oh right! It really cracked us up.
I feel like I have to watch the last couple of season 3 episodes again. I thought I remembered enough, but when my son asked me what happened in the finale, I realized there were a couple of things I couldn't recall.
I both can't believe this is the last season, but also think it is the right time to end the show.
