Only thorough and hard work of creative team and tallented actors can lead a TV series to success. Parks and Rec represents a wonderful example of an outstanding and notable TV show appealing to vast audiences.

The story itself revolves around Parks and Recreation department in the town of Pawnee, which is aimed at creating new areas of recreation and maintaining the existing ones. Although the employees are desperately trying to improve the living standards in Pawnee, local citizens keep on complaining, thus, preventing really positive and important changes in the town. This disharmony created by the screenwriters appears to be intriguing and catches the viewers' attention from the first shot.

Besides, Parks and Rec is stuffed with hilarious jokes and amusing situations. I can't but appreciate this wonderful feature, as it brings home the idea that every complicated issue gets much easier in case you are capable of laughing at it and realising that there are no unsolvable problems. Witty characters like old good friends always inspire you.

It cannot be denied, that charaters introduced in the show are round and quite complex, as they develop throughout the narration. At first, Leslie Knope, the main character, seems to be unbelievably irritating, annoying and constantly trying to overcomplicate simple issues. However through the course of time we reveal her gentle but at the same time strong nature. The trully determined woman who never forgets about her principles , virtues and values becomes the one you admire... sincerely.
People surrounding her are unique - each of them also has their genuine and sophisticated personality. For instance, Ron Swanson, the head of the department, represents the direct opposite of enthusiastic Leslie Knope. This character combines come old-fashioned views, masculine behaviour, devotion to his ideals and special sense of humour. The amazing blend is nothing but the reason for viewers' great love for him.

I can endlessly talk about Andy Dwyer a.k.a. Burt Tyrannosaurus Macklin, April Ludgate, Ann Perkins, Garry "Jerry"/"Larry"/"Lenny"/"Terry"/"Barry" Gergich "Gengurch"/"Girgich", Tom Haverford .... It's evident, that almost every character deservers to be understood and paid attention to!

On realization that the TV series has come to the end and it's high time you said goodbye to the characters sadness breaks your heart into pieces. However Pawnee and its citizens (including Li'l Sebastian) stay with you forever. Deep in your soul.
