Brooklyn Nine-Nine

There's apparently gonna be a #MeToo episode focused on Amy.

I trust them, but I'm nervous all the same.

Same. They did a good job with racial profiling in Moo Moo, so I trust them, but also I’m nervous. Steph Beatriz is directing the episode, which is neat.

The Pontiac Bandit is returning.

A #Me Too! episode?

Didn't this used to be a cop show? I guess this must be a case of the missing virtue signal.

Yes, because cops never investigate sexual assault or rape.

And female cops could never suffer sexual harassment while on the job.

...actually like 3 cases in my sexual harassment law class were specifically cases involving police departments.

I am certain no woman in a former men dominated job environment encouraging a 'us against the rest' mentality added with the general power-intoxication of a position of authority would ever had to deal with those issue.

I'm just worried that this will be ham-fisted and feel super trendy, like a Daily Show skit that went on for too long about a hashtag movement that's already lost steam and credibility.

You know what would I find funny? A show that spends an episode showing how women are constantly sexually harassed in the workplace, featuring Terry Crews, a male victim of sexual harassment.

The show has been rather good about handling these types of issues with a more nuanced attitude. They managed to do both Black Lives Matter and Active Shooter stories with just enough of a twist that it didn't feel like "Comedy Show offers pathetically easy solution to complex problem." The reason was that it was approached from the viewpoint of the characters in the show rather than trying to represent the average person, Terry having to contemplate registering a complaint against a fellow officer and the squad having to wait it out as Diaz is involved with a gunman inside a hotel. They weren't perfect episodes, as it still sort of fell into Very Special Episode territory, but definitely better than average.

This is hilarious. Man, Stephanie Beatriz could really be a cop.

And we have a trailer! This is hilarious and amazing.

This one has an alternate ending which is even funnier.

And Instragram had another alternate ending.

Absolutely beautiful. I love this show.

Dan Goor talks about season 6. Scully & Hitchcock are getting an origin story.

Oh my god that episode was everything I wanted. That was great.

Young Hitchcock and Scully were awesome:

They really were. I especially love Jake and Charles' reactions to learning about how awesome (and surprisingly hot) they were.

Between this and playing Hank Hall on Titans, Alan Ritchson has been having a pretty good year playing one half of a badass duo.

Started to watch this series. On ep 9 of season 1.

Not much to say. I like the sense of humor. Initially I was frustrated at thw sheer lack of professionalism, but quickly came to realize that this ain't no The Wire.

Gina is really getting on my nerves and might be my least favorite character. I used to hate Peralta because of jerkass stuff he does, but he actually gets in trouble, humiliated, and makes up for it. Gina, though? Yeah, Creator's Pet sounds about right.

On the other side of spectrum, there're Terry and Holt. Love those two guys. Sometimes I even grin whenever they are on screen.

Jake took a while to grow on me because I’m used to obnoxious white male protagonists getting to do whatever they want with no consequences because “oh, but they’re brilliant!”

And then I realized they were doing the opposite of that; he gets called out, he apologizes and grows. It’s so nice.

I love, love, love Amy and Rosa so much.

I definitely did not expect to like Jake as much as I do. It helps that his character development actually sticks and he becomes less obnoxious and a more kind and considerate person.

My favorite characters are Rosa and Holt. Captain Holt is comedy gold, and Rosa is so cool.

I cannot WAIT to hear your thoughts on episodes 12, 13, and 16. That was when the show really got me.

Holt is still my favourite! I hope Netflix drops another season, soon.

The newest season is airing on NBC.

Well, I don't exactly get NBC over here...I think I am two or three seasons behind.
