CGiii Comment
Watched the pilot: hated it - due to the camera-work and the script.
Watched the first episode of series 2 - Pawnee Zoo - and, nothing has improved...if anything, the camera-work is even worse.
The gay penguins were funny...nothing else.
But - hey - it ran for 125 episodes and gathered a multitude of awards...sometimes humour does not travel across the pond!!!

The(ir) Blurb...
Leslie Knope, a mid-level 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. However 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.
