(Welcome toWhere to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, “Hey, where can I watch this thing?” In this edition:Parks and Recreation.)Parks and Recreationhas been over since 2015, andthat’s the woooooooorst. Sure, there was a special that came out during the pandemic that brought some of the charm of the workplace comedy back, but that’s just not good enough. So the only way to get a fix of our favorite friends from Pawnee, Indiana is to go back and watch the entire series. But where can you findParks and Recreationstreaming? We’ve got the answer, and for all you big ballers like Tom Haverford, we’ve also got a line on where you can treat yo' self to buy the entire series.
Where You Can Find Parks and Recreation Streaming
Much likeThe Office, the NBC comedy seriesParks and Recreationwas available on Netflix for a long time. But last fall, the series left for a new streaming home on NBCUniversal’s new streaming servicePeacock. Though you can find a few seasons streaming on DirecTV and Sling, Peacock is the only place where you can find the complete series ofParks and Recreationstreaming. Trying to watchParks and Recreationanywhere else would be like trying to find the best waffles ever somewhere other than JJ’s Diner. But there’s a catch.
Parks and Recreation Season 1 and 2 Are Free on Peacock
Parks and Recreation Season 3 - Season 7 Require Peacock Premium
Where You Can Buy Parks and Recreation
Streaming can be convenient, but if you think about it, streaming services are just digital libraries, and libraries are full of the most diabolical, ruthless bunch of bureaucrats. They’re like a biker gang, but instead of shotguns and crystal meth they use political savvy and shhh-ing. So maybe you’d like to buyParks and Recreationrather than paying to stream it at Peacock.
The cheapest option to buy the series in its entirety in digital form right now is iTunes, which has thecomplete series available for $69.99. If you’re buying seasons individually, Amazon Prime is the cheapest, with the short first season being $8.99 and the rest of the seasons being $15.99 each. You can also find them at Google Play, Vudu, and Fandango Now at varying prices.
If you’d rather bring home a physical copy ofParks and Recreation, you can buy it onDVD for $29.99, or you can get it in HD onBlu-ray for $67.99.
The Parks and Recreation Special Isn’t Available Anywhere
Though every single episode ofParks and Recreationis available on streaming and physical media, there’s one piece of the series you’ll have a hard time tracking down. TheParks and Recreation Specialthat aired last year during the coronavirus pandemic used to be readily available on streaming, including YouTube and Peacock, for free. But now it’s impossible to find anywhere officially. Unless you’re out there pirating the high seas of the web, it’s harder to find than an ounce of fat on Chris Trager’s body. But it’s also not integral to the Pawnee, Indiana experience.
