What kind of watch this is
Brooklyn Nine-Nine trades procedural tension for the chaos of a workplace where everyone is trying to be the smartest person in the room. It runs 152 episodes over 8 seasons, a total of 56 hours of detectives who solve crimes but mostly just annoy each other. The rhythm is fast and the jokes are dry, relying on the friction between a strict captain and a team that treats the law like a suggestion. It is a watch that feels like a long, loud weekend where the only thing that gets solved is the group dynamic.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes gave season one a score of 89% and season two a score of 100%. Metacritic gives the first season a weighted average rating of 70/100, indicating "generally favorable reviews". The consensus praises the writing and the cast, specifically the dynamic between Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher. Alyssa Rosenberg of The Washington Post called it one of the funniest, most important shows on TV. Grace Robertson of Vanity Fair saw it as a well-made exemplar of the workplace sitcom. Aisha Harris of Slate found it a well-crafted fantasy with little connection to real policing attitudes. The show also drew praise for its LGBTQ representation, particularly Captain Holt’s portrayal and Rosa Diaz’s coming out. It ranked No. 24 in Rolling Stone’s 50 Best TV Shows of the 2010s.
How it did with audiences
No box office figures exist for a weekly comedy, so the money conversation stops there. The audience verdict lives in the user score. On TMDB, viewers rate it 8.2 out of 10. That is a high number for a show that relies on a cast of people who are terrible at their jobs. It suggests the audience liked the bad decisions.
