Things really get going once the two manage to apprehend the vandal, who turns out to be the son of the Deputy Police Commissioner, leaving Peralta to decide between putting his career in danger and letting a criminal go. However, Holt lays out a clear challenge for Peralta: if every single part of his job is done perfectly, he will once again be unsupervised in the field. Although Samberg and Braugher have excellent chemistry, the constant lectures about Peralta taking his job seriously start to weigh down the episode. Peralta shows up late, of course, undercover as “Harvey Norgenbloom, recently divorced father of two with a dark sexual secret,” in a outfit complete with khaki shorts and “man sandals”.
Meanwhile, everyone’s new favorite Odd Couple is staking out the vandal in Sargent Jeffords’ (Terry Crews) minivan. Much of the humor comes from Boyle’s manic quest to prove the psychic wrong, but not even Lo Truglio, who was a standout in the pilot, can’t keep our attention from straying back to Peralta and Holt. The drug-related B-plot gets its proper dose of wackiness courtesy of Gina (Chelsea Peretti), who brings in her “psychic”/shoe saleswoman friend to offer some assistance. Samberg's SNL roots also lend themselves to comedic cameos from the likes of Fred Armisen and other improvers, which sounds like a recipe for good times.The episode centers around two crimes: Holt and Peralta will take on the titular tagger, who is spray painting wieners on squad cars, and Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero), Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) and Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) are on the hunt for missing drugs. And since the tone is intentionally lighthearted, the sex, drugs, and violence that are so central to serious crime shows take a backseat to jokes about office shenanigans (including a fire extinguisher roller-chair derby) and interoffice dating. And it's an offbeat series, indeed, that would name a pair of newborn twins Cagney and Lacey and make the "straight man" an openly gay officer (played perfectly on point by Braugher, the breakout star of the Emmy-winning cop drama Homicide: Life on the Street).ĭo these crime-fighters make good role models? Surprisingly, yes. Another is about a couple trying desperately to conceive and details aren’t spared.įantastic show but I think 14-15+ is a good time to introduce it.įor anyone who's up to their eyeballs in dark, gritty crime dramas, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is bound to feel like a breath of fresh air, adding laughs to the largely predictable plots of police procedurals, much like Scrubs injected much-needed levity into the disease-ridden world of hospital drama. One episode revolves around a character trying to retrieve his frozen sperm from his ex wife. I dont think there's a single episode without multiple sex references. Instead of "thats what she said" from the office, "title of your sex tape" is the running joke in B99. They are ubiquitous in the show and they don't pull punches sometimes. The biggest issue for younger teens here is sex references.
A few episodes involves characters getting drunk. Language is mild, son of a bitch, damn, hell and the occasional bitch is about as far as it goes.
#BROOKLYN 99 FULL EPISODES THE TAGGER HOW TO#
In one episode a character snorts cocaine off a knife very blatantly to show the other cops how to fake doing it but he doesn't succeed and the results are shown pretty obviously. Usually none of this is explicitly shown but it's frequently mentioned. Murder and drug crimes are common and one episode revolves around a sexual assault case. It's a mostly upbeat and light hearted cop comedy but mature subject matter is common. A character comes out as bisexual in one episode and I don't think I've seen the topic handled as well in a show before. It's full of admirable characters and goes out of its way to discuss things like homosexuality and racism in a positive manner. Written by the same writers of the office, the humour is similar but a bit quicker and with a modern flair. Brooklyn nine nine is in a league of its own.
