Review: TV Program 2013

Parks and Recreation – viewed on DVDs

I have been watching Parks and Recreation on DVDs since series one and now series five has just arrived (October 2013).

IMDb rated the show 8.4, and I agree.

The first series was good, but after that it really got into its stride. It is a good half-hour fun watch.

The sending up of government employees and the goings on within local government is spot on.

We have all worked in or had to deal with some form of government bureaucracy and can identify with the goings-on in this series.

The storyline as on IMDb: The absurd antics of an Indiana town’s public officials as they pursue sundry projects to make their city a better place.

There are lots of serious and engaging programs being made right now and I will be mentioning many of them through this forum. But this one is simply really good fun.

Be ready to have a good laugh – even to laugh out loud.

Recommended: 9/10
