Where Sartre landed firmly on HobbesWasRight with people successfully tormenting each other in Hell, this series lands firmly on RousseauWasRight with people saving each other in Hell. Instead of Sartre's classic line "Hell is other people", the title is the opposite, "Help is other people".

* {{Irony}}: Eleanor, through several hundreds of reboots, kept figuring out that she and her friends were actually in the Bad Place, Michael would laugh with frustration and snap his fingers to reset their memories. Learning about the reboots, in turn, would upset Eleanor because it would erase her bond with Chidi.
