We’ve seen plenty of crime thrillers and detective dramas that are award winning master strokes. Then there’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It’s a complete and total humorous take on the cops of New York City in Brooklyn at the 99th Precinct. Well into its second season, this is definitely binge worthy. The main character, Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg), is an immature yet very talented NYPD detective. The hilarious contrast is Captain Ray Holt (Andre Braugher), who runs the precinct in stern fashion. There isn’t a single episode that will leave you unsatisfied, as the crazy antics of the supporting cast take funny to a new level.
There are no dramatic sequences or tear-jerking scenes. It’s a pure, laugh out loud comedy. With the addition of Terry Crews (playing Sergeant Terry Jeffords), Stephanie Beatriz, Melissa Fumero, and Joe Lo Truglio there’s no worry of dead weight or bland performances. And the snarky assistant Gina Linetti, portrayed by Chelsea Peretti, adds the right amount of spice in a clever comedic recipe. As the second season comes to a close in about three episodes, stick around a couple of weeks before you binge on both seasons.
