Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Local Pawnee group predicts that the end of the world is coming, causing Leslie and others to contemplate their lives. Tom decides to throw the best party ever before he loses his office space, while April helps Andy complete his “bucket list” before the world ends.

Our Take

A fun one built around a classic sitcom premise, and Parks mostly makes it sing. Tom’s party storyline is the highlight, with Aziz Ansari getting plenty of room to be ridiculous, and Andy and April’s bucket list shenanigans deliver some great dumb gags. The Leslie subplot is thinner, but the episode moves fast enough that it hardly matters. Well worth a watch.
