So I feel the need to bring this back up. I reported previously how I could not watch P&R directly after finishing the Office series. With a year or two in between now, I'm finally giving P&R a fair go and have to say I am loving it. On season 4 now.
At first it threw me off with Rashida Jones being in both shows, but her character is much more in depth/involved on P&R - she comes off similar to Jim from the office, for some reason to me I cannot explain.
Nick Offerman is the f***ing man, well at least Ron Swanson is lol. It's genius how uninvolved he is in the main story of each episode, yet he kills it every time he appears.
Leslie is 1000x more relatable, yet close to as funny, as Michael Scott. I still loved him in the office tho.
Tom is quite the enjoyable character as well, but for some reason I cannot get enough of April's f***-it attitude.
Mid-S4 it's still weird seeing Chris Pratt as...well Andy.
In re-reading the comments here, now I'm left wondering who the "boring Jim clone playing the straight man" is from season 1 @Reed Rothchild
Very solid show.
