Parks and Recreation

2009–2015 · 7 seasons

A warm, joke-dense hangout with decent people bumbling through small-town bureaucracy, leaving you smiling and oddly hopeful about public service.

Tagline: Because parks don't grow on trees.
Overview: In an attempt to beautify her town — and advance her career — Leslie Knope, a mid-level bureaucrat in the Parks and Recreation Department of Pawnee, Indiana, takes on bureaucrats, cranky neighbors, and single-issue fanatics whose weapons are lawsuits, the jumble of city codes, and the democratic process she loves so much.
How it feels: Warm, satirical, light and whimsical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, work, politics, found family
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
