The Soul Squad, formerly Team Cockroach and the Brainy Bunch, are the six main characters of the The Good Place.
Team[]
The team consists of Michael, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, Jason, and Janet. The team was later named as Soul Squad when Michael and Janet teamed up with them on Earth.
Goals[]
The team's main goal originally (as Team Cockroach) was to get to The Good Place, in season two.
In season three and four (as the Soul Squad) their goal is to create a fair point system, prove the good in humanity and put their friends/relatives on the right path in life.
Names[]
The team has had several name changes.
- Team Cockroach (originally) chosen by Michael when he deemed himself superior to humans, namely calling them cockroaches and himself an exterminator
- The Brainy Bunch (on Earth) chosen by Trevor to name their ethical study group.
- The Soul Squad (currently) chosen because they wanted to save the souls of themselves, their loved ones and humanity as a whole.
- Bobcats (Jason only, he thought it sounded cool, nobody else agreed)
