Unpopular opinion? Idk but April was always one of my least favorite she was so annoying I just hated her vibe

[veal]

I wasn’t a huge fan of her in the beginning but she didn’t really bother me. But I really grew to hate her in the later seasons.

The first time I watched it, I wasn't a big fan. It was only upon rewatches April's behaviour was straight up bullying and the writing tried to frame it was funny and quirky, but it was incredibly mean-spirited.

Same. I just generally don't care for people who spend their time eye-rolling and doing the bare minimum, regardless of whether they're a fictional character or not.

i don't think the show aged particularly well tbh

[delfintaka]

Oh, no! I have not rewatched it in forever, but i liked it when it was airing sooo much!

Like what kind of stuff? I know they had Lewis CK in it. And Leslie's weird obsession with Biden was never charming, but what else?

ETA, ok, i just remembered them all bullying Jerry. Definitely something we are much more aware and critical now...

[waffletaco]

nah, the show has aged fine. Dont go by jaded ontd posters tbh

Also, we're clutching our pearls at the running gag of picking on Jerry? Good god, we truly are the weakest generation 😔

[just444]

the Obama era idea of how politics should work just feels incredibly naive now

[tipping4_2]

the 10 seconds of amy telling that one joke already outshined and out-charisma’d the two duds there now and the decade of work that they’ve put in

[tetrazzinichikn]

Wasn’t Leslie president by now?

[longlonglong12]

"Through flash-forwards, it is shown that by the year 2025, Leslie will run a successful campaign for Governor of Indiana as a member of the Democratic Party, and will serve two terms in that office. It is hinted that either she or Ben has been elected President of the United States by 2048."

I thought this whole ep was great and she did really well
