The Good Place

The Book of Dougs - S3-E10

Plot hole: Doug Forcett is shown to have lived a completely selfless life but did not have enough points to go to the Good Place and will be sent to the Bad Place. Mindy St Clare was never sent to the Good Place or the Bad Place but instead to the Medium Place because of one selfless act her entire life. She still would not have as many points as Doug as it was determined that before her charitable act, she was a corporate lawyer who only cared about money and cocaine.

Suggested correction: This is not a plot hole but the central conflict of Season 3. Michael discovers that the modern world's complexity makes it impossible to earn enough points; every "good" act now carries unintended negative consequences (e.g., environmental impact). Mindy St. Claire is the only exception because her charity was enacted after her death. Since she wasn't alive to accrue "unintended" negative points from its operation, her score resulted in a unique legal deadlock, not a higher total than Doug.

Jason: I'm telling you, molotov cocktails work. Any time I had a problem and I threw a molotov cocktail...boom! Right away, I had a different problem.
