A really sweet and funny TV series about a bunch of mid-western Parks & Recreation employees in the little mid-western hamlet of Pawnee, Indiana, produced by and starring Amy Poehler. I never bothered to see this one before, because I assumed it was just Saturday Night Live-style skits in an office setting (I've never been a big SNL fan).
But when we finally watched it, it turned out to be endearing, hilarious and definitely binge-worthy. The cast is excellent, starting with Amy Poehler in the lead role, but including also Nick Offerman, Rashida Jones, Rob Lowe, Chris Pratt and several others, playing a bunch of office and town misfits who are each ridiculous in their own unique ways, but all basically kind and adorable.
This is definitely the sort of show where we laugh with them, rather than at them. In this sense, it is very reminiscent of Tina Fey's wonderful 30 Rock comedy series. No wonder the two of them (Poehler and Fey) have done so much great comedy together. Highly recommended.
