Ready for Anything: Parks & Recreation "One Last Ride" series finale

The series finale of Parks and Recreation aired tonight after seven seasons on the air, and it left us thinking of what happens next.

"One Last Ride" had the group performing one last task together before moving on to their next adventure. Their task was to fix a swing at a park. As Leslie gets everyone one by one to talk and get the job done, she touches and hugs everyone, and we see the future for them.

Donna Will be living in Seattle with her husband. She's working in the retail market and has a perfect life.

April and Andy: Living in DC, they finally grow up and become parents of a baby boy, Jack.

Tom: Invest his restaurant to go public and fail, but he cashes in that failure and becomes a superstar with his book.

Ron: Resigns from his business and asks for help from Leslie to help him find something to do. He becomes that Pawnee National Park Ranger.

Garry: Becomes mayor of Pawnee so many times, he lives to be 100 in 2045. He may have aged, but his wife still looks hot.

When it comes to Ben and Leslie, we see them as the super couple they are; when they're at a party at Joe Biden's place, Jan asks Ben to run for Governor of Indiana, and someone also asks Leslie to. When they confront each other, they make a pros and cons list but decide to go and ask the group when they go to Pawnee.

As we see Ben and Leslie go into the Park's office, everyone is there, including Ann and Chris (tissue time). After each and everyone catches up, Leslie tells Ben that they should flip a coin, and whoever wins gets to run for Governor. When Leslie was about to speak, Ben announced that she was running for Governor and mentioned every reason why.

Later on, in 2035, Leslie was given a speech at Indiana University, where she was rewarded an honoree doctorate and also won a second term. Leslie's speech is about a great team she had throughout her career, and that's what makes life possible.

But at one point when Garry died, Ben and Leslie had a group of security that asked: has she become President of the United States?

When we get back to 2017, Leslie is having second thoughts, but Ben tells her that everything will be good. We get one last time with the group when Garry takes a photo. Everyone from April to Tom and Ron complains about the waiting. But when we see Leslie, she looks on and looks ready for anything. Finally, Leslie got what she wanted: to have the group together one last time.

This series finale was magnificent, giving us characters closer and an idea of what we think happens to them in the future. It's like what we got for the "Friends" series finale with what we believe happens with everyone.

There were many scenes that you couldn't help but laugh and cry simultaneously.

This whole season was, I believe, the best season throughout the series. Each episode was solid and tight, with the story arc of Grizzel and the rest of the episodes having everyone on a swan song ride along.

No holding back the tears, it was emotional. I loved the video montage of the fun times everyone had, the video of everyone hugging at the end of shooting, and finally, the honor message of "We Love You, Harris" -The Parks Crew for Harris Wittles, a producer and writer who passed away last week.

The series finale of Parks and Recreation was, as Chris would say, literally the best finale that I've seen.

What did you think of the series finale of Parks and Recreation? Was it satisfying?
