-Parks and Recreation (2009-2015) series review: -Parks and Rec is a comedy series that looks at a group of public workers as the parks and rec department of their local town Pawnee, Indiana. Taking many noted from The Office, Parks and Rec takes a somewhat more absurd approach to this show, adding room for some sharp over-the-top satire about small government, consumers, town hall meetings, etc.
-I love this show so much. It is funny, smart, likable, and full of some really memorable charters I will get to soon! If the comedy scene is not your thing, that is okay. I just reviewed Daredevil. But this is not Daredevil, it's Parks and Rec! -The series plot varies a lot, making it easy to jump into, minus a few character subplots. I love the way the story progresses along with the character changes. And the moments it gets absurd, it is never to absurd it is unbelievable, just absurd to the extremes of realism. For example: Woman complains about snails. Absurd, but not unheard of. Satire to a 'T.
-Each episode is only twenty minutes, minus a few finales, so it is easy to accidentally watch eleven episodes in one night. Not that that happened to me or anything .
-I am going to combine acting and characters for this next part: Parks and Rec stars Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope, a workaholic, dedicated, somewhat crazy deputy director at the department. Amy Poehler does a job worthy of the Golden Globe she won for it. I also totally love the character of Leslie Knope. She is annoying at times, but so lovable and heartfelt. She's also a serious liberal, so if you are one of those extreme people who hates every mention of Joe Biden because you think it promoted how wonderful Democrats are, it is just a TV show. Leslie Knope is aided by Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson, an anti-government, anti-people, pro-meat guy who would rather build a canoe with his bare hands than listen to someone discuss their feelings. Nick Offerman is hilarious and my favorite character on a show full of wonderful characters. And then there is Aubrey Plaza as April Ludgate, a younger, sarcastic intern turned secretary who hates everything but dogs and Andy. Chris Pratt plays Andy Dwyer, who is a child-like idiot with a really big heart. He offers a lot to the show in both the comedy area and some really meaningful moments; plus we would not have Burt Macklin, FBI or Johnny Karate without him! Aziz Ansari is Tom Haverford. Like I am pretty sure he is. In real life. Tom is an entrepreneur and is always coming up with self-centered ideas, but his change throughout the show is another one of the many best things about it. Jim O'Heir plays Garry Jerry Larry Gergich, who is another lovable character whom everyone makes fun of because he is a walking klutz. Retta plays Donna Meagle. Treat-Yo-Self! Rashina Jones plays Anne Perkins, but moving on to more fun people! Rob Lowe is literally, the best City Manager in history. Chris Traeger is a very positive individual who is obsessed with fitness to the point of driving Ron Swanson mad. And finally, Adam Scott plays Ben Wyatt, who is a smart nerd who invents his own board game, knows everything about nerd trivia, and loves calzones. I may or may not be him .
-Finally moving on! There is not a lot of music because of the mockumentary style, but we do get some music in the way of Mouse-Rat, Chris Pratt's band. The reoccurring songs The Pit, which is about how Andy fell in a pit, and Bye, Bye Li'l Sebastian, a memorial song for a pony, offer a lot of heart to the show. Somehow.
-I love this show. The more I watched, the closer I felt to the characters and story. It made my tear up several times, which is impressive for a comedy show, and it offers a lot of heart and a lot of laughs. I think it is a great show! No, I think Parks and Rec is . Amazingtastic! -Parks and Rec is TV-PG, but occasionally has some references and conversations that are in the PG-13 realm if it were a film. It also censors some language for humor's sake. And it has one minor character who, due to the insane nature, needs to be pixilated.
