Parks And Recreation series one to seven are now on Netflix. More than drama, more than laughs, we just want to see the nice guys finish first. And yet it has a 98 per cent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and looks set to be nominated for every major award. Its first outing was not perfect by any means (though that’s not to say it won’t markedly improve next year Parks And Rec’s first series is a hard skip): the dodgy football scenes, with CGI that would make James Cameron weep, are just the tip of the iceberg. Leslie throws a last-minute retirement party for Jerry, Tom discovers that he's the new Jerry in the office, and Ann and Chris weigh their options for conception.
