Brooklyn 99 is a police comedy. A team of carefree, quirky detectives in the 99th precinct solve crimes and keep Brooklyn safe in a whimsical, lighthearted way.
There are Detectives:
- Jake Peralta, the hard-working, insecure, Die Hard-loving clown
- Amy Santiago, the type-A uber-organized do-good
- Rosa Diaz, silent and deadly
- Charles Boyle, Jake's obsessed and clingy best friend
- Scully & Hitchcock, two obese do-nothings who have been on the force forever
Plus:
- Raymond Holt, stone-faced and stern captain
- Terry Jeffords, Muscle-bound Sergeant trying to keep the detectives in line
- Gina Linetti, the self-absorbed and poorly-performing administrative assistant
My wife and I just finished all five seasons available on Netflix (the show is currently on season 7). It took a few episodes to grow on us, but it's great. The personalities, each with their idiosyncrasies, play off each other in amusing ways. The seasons have progressed with no noticeable change in quality; it's a lighthearted show that's always entertaining and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.
Rating: A
