Well. We did it. We finished watching all seven seasons of “Parks and Recreation” today. I have a lot of feelings about it. When we first started watching it, I didn’t know what to expect. My boyfriend, Zach, had already seen most of the episodes from seasons one through five, but the show was brand new to me. I really liked “The Office” and was hoping that “Parks and Rec” would make me laugh like “The Office.” And it did.
The series finale had everything I could have asked for. We got to see some of the show’s favorite guest characters in the episode before the finale, so I am glad the finale was able to focus on the main characters. I thought it was so perfect that they showed what each character would be up to in the future. I feel very satisfied with all their stories.
I LOVED each character. They are all so likable and I genuinely cared about what happened to each one of them. It is hard for me to pick a favorite, but I would probably have to choose Ron. He is just so funny when he isn’t trying to be. It is also hilarious when he gets sappy or excited about anything.
I also really love Donna. She is sassy and tells it like it is. And treat yo self!
April and Andy are such a cute couple and #relationshipgoals. They both really love each other and always support one another in whatever they do. They are weird and their weirdness is what makes them a perfect pair.
Same for Leslie and Ben. Such #goals. They also support each other and make sacrifices to help each other out.
Tom just makes me laugh. He is so cute with all his little made up words and love for fashion.
Jerry. I will always remember him as being Jerry. What a silly man. But when you think about it, Jerry was probably the best person in Pawnee. Gayle apparently noticed.
I hated Rashida Jones’s character on “The Office” so I was really skeptical about how I would feel about Ann. She was great. Such an amazing friend to Leslie and she balances Leslie out. Chris was also hilarious without trying to be. I was sad when Ann and Chris moved away. But I’m glad they came back for the final show.
I thinkkkkkk I might like “Parks and Recreation” more than “The Office.” I know, I didn’t think that could be possible. I just found myself more invested in the characters. The show was also just the right about of funny while still having a strong story. If you need a new show to binge watch, "Parks and Rec" should be it.
