Corrected entry: Michael was said to be speaking Nigerian as he lives there (their languages are translated to their native tongue). In season 1 episode 7 Michael is living in the US, speaking English as a professor.

1 corrected entry in Season 1 generally
Continuity mistake: When Eleanor tells Chidi she loves him she has dark nail polish on. When she starts to argue with Tahani her nails don't have any polish on. As shots change during their discussion her nails keep changing colour. (00:10:50)
More quotes from The Good Place
Trivia: The cast were sworn to secrecy to not reveal the big twist at the end of season one. Reportedly, all the cast members were really good at keeping the secret... except Ted Danson, who couldn't help but give away the twist anytime he tried to explain the show to someone.
Question: Why is it they never use the words "Heaven" and "Hell"?
Answer: While the show does explore life after death, the show creators intentionally avoided using many religious terms and beliefs, such as heaven, hell, or God. While one could draw parallels of the Good Place and the Bad Place to heaven and hell, in the show that's not what they're meant to be.
Thank you. It just means, to me, they're atheists.
Well you couldn't really call them atheist because atheists don't believe in any type of afterlife or any deities. The "good place" and "bad place" are merely broader terms that could include most belief systems.
Answer: They actually do use those terms, in one episode, when Eleanor starts crying Chidi states he broke God and, there is another episode where someone, I believe Chidi says, we're in heaven. Though not saying those words does not make them atheist, it is stated in the first episode that every religion specifically Christians were a little bit right... So when they got to the good place after learning it is really called the good place it makes no sense to call it something else.

Correction: This mistake is all sorts of wrong. 1. It's Chidi, not Michael. Michael is the architect. 2. Chidi says he is speaking French, not Nigerian. 3. Chidi was a professor in Australia, not the US. But he also taught in Paris. But Eleanor isn't the politest of people, so she is amazed at his English for not being an American. That's when he says he's speaking French, which is his native language. The fact he spoke other languages on Earth is irrelevant.
