A different kind of a sitcom, Community is about a varied group of students (a bit like The Breakfast Club), who have enrolled in the local community college in the fictional city Greendale, Colorado. You don't get to hear the usual kind of jokes, but rather the show has a lot of pop-culture references and also mocks many of the typical television cliches. I really enjoy the sense of humour portrayed in the episodes and by the characters, and isn't what I'm normally exposed to.
The biggest plus point of this show, are it's amazing characters. With each one so very different from the other, it really is like a perfect way to state that each individual is indeed unique and has some features or the other that makes them stand out. It was nice to see a study group that was formed purely for selfish reasons by Jeff Winger, turned out to have more impact on everyone in the group, than they could have imagined. The humourous methods with which they deal with everyday situations is also another funny aspect of the show. To say that there are a lot of pop-culture references would be an understatement, especially since one of the characters, Abed, is a TV shows and movies geek.
There are many episodes that I could definitely watch again and laugh like it's the first time. Yet, there were also a few that weren't all that funny and seemed to have been trying too hard. Everyone might not be eased so quickly into the humour within the first season but once you are past that, you are hooked, for there are a couple of crazy and imaginative episodes as well. I cannot wait for the sixth season, which will air on March 17, 2015.
Happy binge-watching!
