    Parks and rec has the same issue trailer park boys has.

    Season 1 is absolutely pure to the format and is therefore technically superior, but the characters and situations you love dont materialise until later.

      Gradual character development is totally normal, just like acquaintances take a while to turn into friends and later turn into really good friends. But that doesn’t devalue the good times you have with acquaintanaces. I enjoyed Parks & Rec and Trailer Park Boys right from the start, and then they both got better.

      Parks and Rec does not follow the pattern you describe. Season 2 was a big format and tone switch.

        Its been a while since I seen it, but they both try to be mockumentaries with talking to the cameraman for plot exposition, and then they both give up on any attempt at realism with it quite quickly right?

        Unless im forgetting something crucial
