# The Good Place - Parent Guide Eleanor Shellstrop wakes up in the afterlife and must confront her selfish past while learning to become a better person. The show features mature themes about morality and death, along with some strong violence and profanity. While the TV-14 rating suggests it could work for older teens, the philosophical content and violence make it better suited for mature 15+ viewers.
