Found in: Blogs, List of the DayParks and Recreation: "Win, Lose, or Draw" (4.22)
Leslie’s campaign for city council hasn’t been the only thing going on in Parks and Recreation‘s fourth season, and that’s certainly contributed to why “Win, Lose, or Draw” felt so big. From when Leslie was first approached for office during the end of last season, it’s been a ride that’s slowly picked up speed, pacing out her slow rise to prominence with almost perfect pacing. By allowing this to develop naturally rather than dropping everything once her campaign began, Parks and Recreation has also been slowly building tension and, happily, the conclusion to all of that buildup doesn’t disappoint.... read more

While it wasn’t filler, it also didn’t feel as fully... read more

Amongst the many changes that occurred between the first and second seasons of Parks and Recreation, one of the larger ones was that the show gained faith in the government. While this went hand in hand with its most substantial flip, Amy Poehler’s Leslie Knope transitioning almost immediately from a ditz to almost a superheroine of civic progress, it’s also gone beyond just the show’s central character. When it first aired, Parks and Recreation showed a department riddled with incompetence, and the jokes seemed to be kind of like those of Reno 911, centered on how bad the department is.... read more
