What’s
the best show to watch when you’re sleep deprived and helping your wife nurse a
newborn? This one staring Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope, the most dedicated
public official of a small town one could ever hope to have. And while I liked
the first season, this sophomore one is a big improvement. The entire cast
really gels during this run and Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza all
continue to impress, crafting the kind of memorable characters classic
television shows have always had. Then there’s Chris Platt who is a star in the
making. He’s easily one of my favorite dumb guys of any sitcom. I get the
feeling though Paul Schneider’s character is becoming more and more irrelevant.
I don’t expect to see him returning. Overall there are a lot of great episodes
this time around. The Hunting Trip, Sweetums, The Possum, and 94 Meetings were
my favorites. What makes this show work is that it’s character driven and it
has great characters we care about to utilize. It doesn’t really matter what
they do, they just make it funny. Grade: A
