From Salon’s Heather Havrilesky:
Thanks to some unbeatable episodes from the mockumentary this fall, suddenly it’s clear that calling NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” a civic-government version of “The Office” is like calling the Eiffel Tower a French version of the Seattle space needle.
(…)
It’s time for audiences to stop saying no to “Parks and Recreation,” though, because after a slow start in its first season, this show is firing on all pistons, transforming a source of kooky, mild amusement to the kind of smart, incisive parody that’s utterly addictive. We haven’t been here a long time, but what we’ve seen is, really, from the bottom of our hearts, truly hilarious. Really, really great stuff.
