Contrary to what most people believe in, The Good Place by Michael Schurr brings you to a town-like version of the afterlife called the Good Place.

When Eleanor (Kristen Bell) arrives at the Good Place, she realizes that there has been a mistake. Refusing to confess, she instead asks her new friend to help her earn her spot in “heaven.”
