This is season 1 of Parks and Recreation. It didn’t really start to get it’s footing until season 2. I’m glad I stuck with it, so many great characters!
Yeah, on rewatch I generally start at season 2. Same with The Office (US). Both shows are phenomenal, but they take a while to find their footing.
However, I’d certainly argue that even on first viewing, the first seasons can be skipped. You might miss a bit of backstory, but you’d be able to understand most things perfectly fine.
I think a lot of those kind of shows just need to get to know the characters better and see what works and what doesn’t in the first season and then improve on that when viewers also have a better understanding of that

Yeah, S1 was trying to be the office too much. The camera shots and everyone’s delivery was just off a bit.
And I don’t think it really landed until season 3 with the cast change.
I like that after Mark leaves, he’s never even mentioned in passing again.

Your mom is a great character.
Even then, you could skip half or more of season 1. I can’t remember which to skip, but there’s advice online somewhere I’m sure.
