Parks and Recreation The Bubble (2009–2015) watch online HD

Just two more episodes to go until the end of season 3, and this season has been nothing but fantastic. We have seen one relationship lead to marriage (Andy and April), one end in a break-up (Chris and Ann), and now a new one that has just begun (Leslie and Ben). This episode is all about the secret relationship of Ben and Leslie that they are hiding from one another, with the risk of losing their jobs on the line. It's very much like "Season 5 Monica and Chandler from Friends" but still very entertaining to watch. Also very refreshing, because they are just adorable together!

The episode has two major storylines that take up the entire episode. One is great, and the other is ok. Let's start with the one that is ok. Ben has a meeting with Leslie's mom, unknown to the fact that its her mother. Leslie makes things very awkward for Ben and does not tell him its her mother until the very last minute. Leslie is scared this meeting will ruin "the bubble" which refers to the beginning of a romantic relationship. I was never a big fan of the character of Marlene Knope, but this whole storyline is so cringy that you can't help but laugh at a few moments here and there. The B-story, however, is much stronger.

Chris has initiated new changes in the Parks Department and has moved everyone to different positions and even different floors in City Hall. In this storyline, we get the introduction of one of my favorite Parks and Rec minor characters, Ethel Beavers, who works on the fourth floor where Tom and Andy now work. I love seeing Andy remain optimistic and positive even though he works on the fourth floor. It is still much better than his shoe-shining job. My favorite thing about this storyline is seeing Ron adjust to his new desk. A circular desk with no walls right in the center of the office. My favorite scene in the entire episode is when Ron avoids a Pawnee citizen who is trying to get his assistance by maneuvering his chair further and further away from her.

Overall, "The Bubble" isn't one of the strongest episodes in the season, but still funny with a few very entertaining scenes. I like seeing Leslie and Ben finally as a couple, even though they have to hide it from the public. Also there's some more classic Ron Swanson moments. In this season, there seems to be at least one classic Swanson scene or quote in every episode.
