I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think the characters they've created are excellent, but the writing is a little lacking.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
i saw the first 5 or so episodes of the last season of parks and rec, and it was a bit underwhelming
for the most part i think it's one of the most consistent shows though

The last season is weird. Really the season six finale should have been the series finale. It was a perfect way to wrap everything up.
But there's enough in S7 to make it enjoyable.
