Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an American police procedural comedy television series created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The series revolves around Jake Peralta, a talented but immature NYPD detective in Brooklyn's fictional 99th Precinct, who often comes into conflict with his commanding officer, the serious and stern Captain Raymond Holt.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) It is unique and has an eccentric, lovable cast of characters that are anything but stereotypical. Some specific ones include Jake, Charles, Rosa, and Terry.
 * 2) The relationships are always put first in every situation.
 * 3) Their LGBTQ+ characters, especially Rosa and Captain Holt, are fleshed out beyond stereotypes then other shows.
 * 4) It stands out from other shows because it has a notably diverse cast, with minorities having major roles.
 * 5) Its style of humor does not offend or discriminate, as its jokes are very respectful, goofy, and always hilarious.
 * 6) The way it uses its typical comedy to tackle important issues in Seasons 4-7 is very honest, very original, and impacted viewers positively. Some examples include the Season 5 episode "He Said, She Said" (about sexual harassment), the Season 4 episode "Moo-Moo" (about racism).
 * 7) Like Family Guy, it returned from cancellation because of fans.
 * 8) The characters' adventures range from realistic situations to not-so-possible circumstances, and they never fail to be unique and hilarious.
 * 9) The romantic relationships are always very well-written and fleshed out. Jake and Amy’s in particular is strong.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Some of the show's recurring jokes can start to feel over-used in the later seasons.
 * 2) The final season, Season 8, is easily the show's weakest. Many episodes in the first half of the season ended up being hastily rewritten because of the COVID-19 pandemic and various other real-life issues, resulting in them being very poorly received. Fortunately, things improved a lot in the second half of the season, and it ended with a strong finale.

Trivia

 * 1) There is a French-Canadian adaptation called Escouade 99, released in 2020.
 * 2) Season 8, which premiered in 2021, is the final one.
