Hilarious ensemble comedy that follows Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, and her tireless efforts to make her quintessentially American town just a little bit more fun.
Because parks don’t grow on trees.

During its 7 season run, there was no show I looked forward to more every week. Parks & Rec did not invent the workplace comedy or the mockumentary style, but it stands out thanks to the eclectic range of its characters. The early seasons hint at the amazing potential of the show, which comes to fruition upon the arrival of Ben, and to a lesser extent, Chris. It's just a shame that due to the political climate of the modern world, the election storylines are now too hard to watch.
