One Last Ride

Parks and Rec baby. 7 seasons of pure fun, laughs, and great writing. Although the first season was a bit of a mess, it redeemed itself tremendously.

With memorable characters, beautiful story lines and real care put into the characters, Michael Shur and Greg Daniels have (once again) created an unforgettable series.

We'll miss you Pawnee, thank you for the good times.

Amazing series finale , the show couldn't be wrapped up in a better way than this. with a look even to the further futuristic happy ending that every one will get, i'm really satisfied that i was a fan for 7 years. all the characters will be missed. all the characters were always hilarious. and what a better ending than having the whole cast in the finale , Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe are back. and in the end of the episode they gave us a one last look of how it all started .. it was definitely one of the most successful Comedy shows of all time. hope to see Greg Daniels and Michael Schur writes again in shows like this because they're so damn funny. farewell Parks and Recs :)

This half-season of P&R does have the feeling of being a little more than was needed to close out this show; in particular the start of the season and its continuation of the jump forward in time felt a little clunky in the way it works its narrative. This does not last long though and the season sets up a reasonably solid narrative which provides a frame for the final episodes. It does occasionally feel overly sentimental and tidy in how it does this, but mostly it is funny and allows the characters to play out their threads in ways that are in keeping with the seasons before, and brings it to a close fairly well.

It doesn't totally avoid the sense of it congratulating itself though, and some of the material leans towards sentiment. The Johnny Karate episode in particular didn't really work for me, and sometimes the plotting goes too far in the search of a happy ending for all, but mostly it works pretty well. The cast seem to enjoy themselves but don't lose sight of their characters; only Pratt stands out by virtue of how toned he is throughout. Okay it has the slightly bloated and celebratory feeling of a reunion tour, but it is still pretty funny as it does it and it serves as a surprisingly neat and enjoyable conclusion to the show.

One of the best final episodes ever. I loved how each character got their happy ending.

This show is the most amazing show in the world, and I will miss it sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Anything less than a ten for this show (or episode) is completely unacceptable.



Thank you P&R for making me happy and allowing myself a good cry :)
