For a niche, high-concept comedy on a network that hasn't done all that well in that department in the last several years, The Good Place did well. Ignoring the special post-Voice premiere, The Good Place didn't drop all that much from start to finish and gained a solid fanbase. Of their four returning comedies, The Good Place is their 2nd-strongest, and ahead of some dramas that were renewed too. Plus, it pretty much held its Superstore lead-in and kept the lights on for NBC in the fall on Thursdays.
