Review:

This episode made me so happy and sad. We all knew that the finale was coming but saying goodbye to your favorite characters is hard even with the awesome goodbye they all received.

MY GRADE: A

Reviewer's Quotes:

In Leslie Hope and ragtag band of proximity workplace acquaintances, we are left with a portrait of—to borrow some words our president spoke shortly before Parks premiered—“a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.” And with the finale of Park, we saw what “Winning” really looks like from a truly great sitcom. Unlike Ron Swanson, I’ll be able to hold the smile forever. - Jeff Jenson
