Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Final Season Starts Off Strong With “The Good Ones” and “The Lake House”
“The Good Ones and The Lake House” Spoilers Ahead Brooklyn Nine-Nine has always been the show to take stands because it mattered, and never because it was performative. This show didn’t choose diversity to check off boxes and get brownie points, but because celebrating humanity in a way that was authentic was always its priority. And thereby, Brooklyn Nine-Nine couldn’t ignore the atrocities against Black men and women in 2020 (along with the systemic racism long before that). It couldn’t ignore the fact that as police officers, they are part of the problem and needed to make their understanding clear.

Scene Breakdown: Amy Santiago Takes the Halloween Heist Crown in ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’
Brooklyn Nine-Nine always gets the Halloween Heist specials right, but in its third season, it’s when it really becomes something that’s cemented into the show’s spirit perfectly. And that’s the case because this is a series that not only takes their women seriously, but it lets them shine. Amy Santiago is such a strong, layered character that the hope is to never lose those parts of her when she finds love. (Because you know, TV shows seldom know how to write women.) And on any other show, that could have been the case after the two leads get together—the female

Scene Breakdown: Jake Peralta’s Toast in Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s “Thanksgiving”
Jake Peralta‘s toast surely wasn’t on the Boyle bingo card. In Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Pilot episode, Jake understands the importance of wearing a tie in order to be a part of Holt’s work family at the precinct, but in the first season’s “Thanksgiving” episode, he’s still hesitant and extremely whiny about having to celebrate. And it makes sense because Rome wasn’t built a day, and character development, along with conquering one’s own demons takes time. “I’m happy to be here with my family. My super weird family with two Black dads, and two Latina daughters, and two white sons, and Gina,

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Will Wrap After Season 8 and We’re Not Ready
I’ve written and deleted this too many times because it never felts right. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set to end after its eighth season and I have way too many feelings about this. This show is more than just a procedural comedy—it’s a celebration of humanity and inclusivity. For eight years, it has constantly gotten better. (Don’t even at me because we all know the last season is going to be downright perfect, too. Especially since writers have scrapped the material they previously had written in order to bring to light the police brutality against Black lives today.) This show has
