And then you find out they fill the lobbies with bots for your first few games.

That's the soul crushing truth

Can someone tell me where this (picture) is from? Seems like a fun movie.

The show is really good, I wanna say I struggled in the first season. I even stopped watching for a bit, but was encouraged to pick it back up. Apparently that happens to a lot of people.

It definitely finds itself and just gets better every season.

Not as good as office or community, but like Stamets said, each character adds to the show in their own way. And it's wild how many of them went on to be bigger stars in other roles. Aziz Ansari, Chris Pratt, Aubrey plaza, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott

Not a movie, it's a TV series called Parks & Recreation. Same style as The Office but, in my opinion, far funnier and with great comedic actors across the board instead of just 2-3 strong ones. It's also the show that made Chris Pratt even known in the first place. Synopsis is just a mockumentary style show following the Parks and Rec department of a small podunk town. Some people LOVE their job, other people DESPISE it. It's also created by the same dude who made The Good Place and Brooklyn 99.

Watched Community some time ago. Felt like all actors were pretty equal instead of the 2 or 3 as well.
Ist it similar to that?

It's a little slow to find its footing, but I think it really took off at s2e5. You may have even seen the meme from this episode:

Oooh. Neat!

I think Community is leagues better but there are plenty of people who would argue they're on at least equivalent footing.

Idk if you can even compare them when they're for entirely different vibes. Community is more witty and humourous but p&r is mostly just wholesome fun

Wholesome fun and Aziz Ansari

I wanted to like the show so much but I hate that little man so much
