Since it's by the same writer who did Parks & Recreation, Good Place, Brooklyn 9-9, I'd say definitely the later. He's more of a comedy from character situations sort of a guy, with the plot being secondary.

Yeah, that's a good point. I was actually just rewatching TGP, and without getting into spoilers, each season is different, even if the basic theme is the same. Parks and Rec and B99 are more thematic, but they're not afraid to change things around. And all are very much character focused above all else.

How meta can we be on here? I have a sudden temptation to do a side-by-side comparison, even if it would be imperfect.

I think they'd allow it? I mean I've seen meta on this...I personally prefer meta to fanfic, but that's just because I like analyzing the heck out of things.

Michael Schurr - seems to be a light satirist who is mainly interested in character and workplace/philosophical satire. I'm not a fan of workplace satire (mainly because I'm living that and need to escape from it not watch it on television and I can't watch political satire any longer for the same reasons) but I do love philosophical and metaphysical satire - which was a good portion of the Good Place. I think he also did The Office, not certain.

Sorry for the late reply! You're always welcome to post meta on here! :) It should be under a cut if it's more than two paragraphs or contains spoilers. You should also note somewhere if your post contains spoilers (for the series as a whole/a specific season/a specific episode).
