Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated Parks and Recreation - Season 2 in TV
Sep 26, 2017
Not as good as first season, but still great performances
So we start the series with a break up, and various hook-ups throughout the series, which is a little like Friends but a little more intelligent. And while it's not as good as the first series, as they move on to the next plan of action, Rob Lowe and Adam Scott make a surprise appearance at the end of the climactic season.
As per usual, standout performances by Amy Poehler, Aziz Ansari and Nick Offerman, who seem to be the strongest characters throughout.

Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated 9-1-1: Lone star in TV
Apr 4, 2021 (Updated Apr 4, 2021)
I tried to watch this one. I used to be an EMT and I miss the rush and the life so I want to find a good medical drama to satisfy my blood lust for intelligently written, exciting, tv. This is not it. It's painfully fake. I was unable to get through more than a few minutes. Now, I like Rob Lowe. I grew up watching him and the Brat Pack and he's a pretty man so all the girls my age had a crush on him. I really liked him in Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing and Parks and Rec. Rob Lowe does his best acting in a suit. I could not take him seriously as a first responder. I can't even remember if his character is a firefighter, police officer, or EMT in this show. All I know is that I had to tap out after the first few lines.
Perhaps my rating is unfair because I'm basing my judgment with 911 Lonestar being an extension of 911 with the same writing style and situations, and that show has stiff acting, and outrageously fake scenarios. I recently tried to watch 911 due to a draught of medical dramas and I ended up yelling at the tv about all the technical mistakes the EMTs and firefighters were making. I mean, they took an elevator up to an upper floor when the building was unstable and at risk of collapse or having a power outage. It was ridiculous. Who does that? If you are good at suspending belief, maybe you can tolerate this show. But I just can't. Sorry, Rob. See you in my dreams.
