Hi guys !

I know it has been quite a while since I wrote anything on here but I truly intent on catching up on all of what I had planned and more.

Today the show I want to talk about is none other than the fantastic Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I admit that I was kinda late to the party since I started watching the show as they were broadcasting the fifth season but better late than never uh ?!

Let’s start as usual with a synopsis: As we go into the show, we follow around seven New York City Police Department (NYPD) detectives and their precinct who are adjusting to working under their new commanding officer, the serious and stern Captain Raymond Holt. 

And a little technical presentation:

- Created by : Dan Goor and Michael Schur

- Music composed by : Dan Marocco / Music supervisor : Kerri Drootin

- Main cast : Andre Braugher, Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti, Dirk Blocker, and Joel McKinnon Miller.

As mentioned above, the show was created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, who are also behind Parks and Recreation and The Good Place, so they were familiar with the sitcom format and allowed themselves to break the codes of the genre.

It originally aired on FOX from September 2013 to May 2018. They cancelled it after 5 years of good fun, but it was rescued the very next day by NBC, who offered us a final run from January 2019 to September 2021. So it ran for a total of 8 seasons and 153 episodes of about 21 minutes each.

Many people I know are not fans of sitcoms because the laughs, the format and usually the stories are very specific to the genre. In Brooklyn Nine-Nine, they have chosen not to use the traditional laughs that can be heard in sitcoms taped in front of a live audience, and for many viewers this changes the appeal of the show. I have to admit that this was a very important point for me personally when I first started watching, as I always felt that the laughs were used to force the audience to react, but were usually unbalanced, as they were often either too late and fell flat, or were right on the joke but covered the sound of the comedian's voice, making the joke inaudible.

But what I want to focus on more with this show is the issues it tackles. In fact, over the course of eight seasons, they've had several opportunities to talk about social issues, and that's what I think makes it stand out from all the other sitcoms I've had the pleasure of watching.

I don't want to go into too much detail about the themes, as I don't want to spoil it for those of you who want to give it a try, so I'll just mention the themes and briefly explain how, as a viewer, I felt immersed in the storytelling and the inclusion of the themes in the characters' plots.

Behind the cases they have to solve, the characters have real conversations that deepen the themes evoked in many episodes. The confrontations between them throughout the series help to develop all the characters and it's interesting to watch as a viewer because it can sometimes bring up an aspect of a subject you hadn't considered, or give you arguments to back up your opinions in real-life conversations.

The first theme, which in itself is the premise of the show, is the justice system and its flaws. Since the main characters of the show are police officers and administrators, it was a topic they had to address from day one. They also address issues that are more specific to police forces, such as the impunity enjoyed by some politicians or high-ranked members of society.

Then, as they have a very diverse cast and awesome writers, they also tackled the inclusion of people of color (with the presence of two black men and two Latina women in the main cast), women (with three women in the main cast) and LGBTQ+ people in police forces and the discrepancies in treatment they receive, whether it be from their hierarchy or from the public. I think their work on these issues is very important to break down prejudices that people may have about police officers, and sometimes even to raise awareness about issues that people may not have too much information about (LGBTQ+ struggles, sexual harassment, etc.).

Since the creators are also behind Parks and Recreation and The Good Place, they have also chosen to call on actors from those shows to appear on Brooklyn Nine Nine whether it be as guests, regulars or even main characters ! I'll drop just a few names in case you know them and are curious :

Chelsea Peretti (main B99 cast and appeared on Parks and Recreation)

Marc Evan Jackson (regular and appeared on The Good Place and Parks and Recreation)

Jason Mantzoukas (regular and also appeared on The Good Place and Parks and Recreation)

Nick Offerman (special guest and also appeared on The Good Place and Parks and Recreation)

Some other actors came from other shows, like the amazing Craig Robinson who also appeared in Arrested Development and The Office and who landed in Brooklyn Nine Nine a specific recurring role that quickly became a fan favorite.

Finally, I'll leave you with the entire soundtrack of the show, it's not the most important part of the show for me, but the use of classic pieces at some key moments is well done and highlights the different moods the characters can go through.

I hope I've at least made you want to give the show a try and I'm open to you letting me know if you do, whether you agree with my views or not, I'm always open to discussion.

Have a great day,

Eli

Popular opinion: wander over yonder is better than glee AND Brooklyn nine nine and you all know it to be true.

[studiotriggerfan397]

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been one of the most consistent comedies on TV for years and one of the best.

In my opinion, the world is a much better place with this show in it. I love these characters and the good, healing energy this comedy series brings. It gives us characters that feel organic, beautiful, strong, dignified, yet with flaws and vulnerabilities. It perfectly balances comedy and drama.

The show very much feels like a television adaptation of Phil Lord and Chris Miller's 21 Jump Street (one of my favorite comedy films). I promise to continue watching it if it ever returns in any way, shape or form.

fact: killing it deserves way more fans

Brooklyn Nine-Nine S08E10 ‘The Last Day Pt 2′  

[sullenaquarian]

Thinking about the posts I've seen where people are frustrated that the creative team behind Ted Lasso dropped hints repeatedly about a Ted/Rebecca pairing and then didn't follow through, only to further make fun of those fans for believing those hints. I wavered on whether I wanted to see them together, but it made sense from what we were shown.

It makes me glad for shows like Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. In particular, a lot of fans pair up Rosa and Gina in fic. When Rosa came out as bi on the show, she and Gina had a cute moment where they agree they'd be a great couple in another universe. I thought that was a great way to tell your fans that even if their ship isn't canon, it's not a misinterpretation.

Honestly i should have known to expect disappointment from the Ted Lasso finale because it has been shown that the only men i should trust to deliver a satisfying end of series are Dan Goor and Mike Schur.

yeah dan and mike are the only men i trust
