    Season 7 was Michael Schur's emergency landing for a plane losing altitude. In my opinion it started in season 5 when Ann and Chris got back together. This then lead to Ann and Chris' departure from Pawnee, which consumed a lot of time and that lacked both worthy humor and sentiment. Combined with low ratings, the writers had no choice but to wrap it up.

    So to end the show they decide make an 13 episode epilogue. Or you would think. The events over the three year span were resolved in 5 episodes. The rest of the season was a series of forced Romantic reunions of main characters and past guest stars, as well as laying the blue print of rest of their lives.
    In essence the show is lost its purpose when no one worked at the parks department anymore. It was also annoying how Ben was offered to run for congress while Leslie wasn't even considered. But all that was overshadowed in the finale with a ultra epilogue that documented everyone's future success and failures. I questions what was the point of building up the three year epilogues if you are going to make it obsolete with epilogues from several decades from now. Also why did Craig get a section. He was only introduced in the previous season. I had little chance to become emotionally connected to him, especially when you include his annoying voice.    … Expand

    The season was weird, confusingly all over the place trying to cover 20 different things across many years in the future, overly sentimental, and not really funny. It basically felt like a final episode dragged out. The actual final episode was good and there were some good moments here and there. Probably better than the first season but I think the show was strongest from the 2nd to 5thThe season was weird, confusingly all over the place trying to cover 20 different things across many years in the future, overly sentimental, and not really funny.

Probably better than the first season but I think the show was strongest from the 2nd to 5th seasons. I am also a fan of the show as a whole, actually prefer it over The Office, which it's loosely based off of. I know the last few seasons of most TV shows tend to "jump the shark" and the characters become increasingly exaggerated.… Expand

    The time jump doesn't turn Parks into a new show (Leslie and Ben's triplets don't appear in a single frame of the first four episodes), nor does it dunk the series in some kind of comic fountain of youth, but it does provide a fresh enough start to get us through 13 more episodes without feeling like we've seen it all too many times before.
