What is Community about?
Follow the lives of a group of students at what is possibly the world’s worst community college in the fictional locale of Greendale, Colorado.
Community (2009)
At a truly terrible college, a group of students navigate life with campy, absurdist humor.
Satirical, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
