Leslie Knope, a midlevel bureaucrat in an Indiana Parks and Recreation Department, hopes to beautify her town (and boost her own career) by helping local nurse Ann Perkins turn an abandoned construction site into a community park, but what should be a fairly simple project is stymied at every turn by oafish bureaucrats, selfish neighbors, governmental red tape and a myriad of other challenges. Leslie's colleague Tom Haverford, who delights in exploiting his position for personal gain, is as likely to undermine her efforts as to help her, while her boss, Ron Swanson, is adamantly opposed to government in any form, even though he's a bureaucrat himself.

Parks and Recreation's closing chapter deftly incorporates time-skip gags into the everyday bureaucracy of Pawnee, all while delivering a moving farewell to a cast of characters audiences have grown to love like family.

Willa Paskin Slate 10/11/2019
The [finale] congratulated itself for its own sweetness, instead of recognizing that a hint of sourness has always been part of what made Parks and Recreation so delicious. Go to Full Review

The show's progressive ideals were honored while its heroically "small" home was martyred for the cause. Go to Full Review
Amy Plitt Rolling Stone 10/11/2019
The series' co-creator and showrunner Mike Schur took a risk by fast-forwarding the storyline several years into the future, showing life in the fictional Indiana city of Pawnee circa 2017. That gamble, for the most part, paid off. Go to Full Review
J.M. Suarez PopMatters 10/11/2019
What has always made Parks and Recreation more than just a collection of great bits and one-liners (though it has plenty of both) has been its impeccable characterizations. Leslie Knope is a hero... but she's also human. Go to Full Review

Rory M @Leopold 05/20/2024 Probably not very good but I can't tell as I'm so attached to the charecters actors and plot lines. See more Craig B 11/08/2023 Easily the most overrated sitcom out there. Two maybe 3 seasons were better than average and never reach the great level. Four through 7 were poor. took me a long time to finally get through this last one and I skipped through the more boring sections. I think maybe Amy Poehler got so full of herself she could no longer be the butt of any jokes? Not sure just unwatchable at the end. More like a disney channel version of a sitcom. See more Andris D 09/12/2023 I know its a comedy, but still to see the feminist family destroying propaganda in action is quite a shame. See more Jakey B 08/24/2023 The Farewell season was able to not just be more of the same and definitely gave for a unique and unexpected finale, that focused on making a complete fitting ending to each of the characters. Takes a few episodes to catch up but once it does it all comes together to a very neatly satisfying conclusion that could have left things more open ended but the show never overstayed its welcome and always moved itself forward. This season might have moved too far forward but it was all in service of its characters and making sure the final season felt like something new and fresh. See more Krzysztof P 12/03/2022 Inne, nieco słabsze i bardziej nienaturalne "The Office". Zabijacz czasu, niezły do oglądania kątem oka przy robieniu czegoś innego. Wolne tempo. Bardzo mocno przerysowane postacie, mało zmieniają się wraz z fabułą See more lasse l 11/18/2022 A fittingly heartfelt conclusion. See more Read all reviews
