"Janet(s)" is the tenth episode of the third season of The Good Place. Written by Josh Siegal and Dylan Morgan and directed by Morgan Sackett, it originally aired on NBC on December 6, 2018. The episode sees Michael (Ted Danson) and Janet (D'Arcy Carden, pictured) investigating if the afterlife system for sorting good and bad acts has been manipulated; meanwhile, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason are accidentally transformed into versions of Janet, all played by Carden. Rehearsals for the episode began earlier than usual so Carden could learn to play the other actors, and it required more visual effects than previous episodes. "Janet(s)" was watched by 2.58 million Americans in its original broadcast and was well-received by critics; Carden's performance was widely praised. Themes covered in the episode include the meaning of the self, which the writers had studied in preparation. It was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for writing and won a Hugo Award.
