To those who have no idea what this show is, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is Fox's newest gig when it comes to creating a comedy show. This series features a band of detectives and their newly appointed super uptight captain who happens to be gay and the result is one hell of a fast-paced, comedy joyride. Recently, the series were nominated and won both Best Actor in a Comedy Series (Andy Samberg) and Best Television Series for Comedy in the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. And if you are still not convinced to watch it by the statement I just said above, here are 3 good reasons to really start watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
3. The Men Behind the Force
For those of you who are not in the know, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is actually powered by two very talented creators which have been very successful in their chosen field, Dan Goor and Michael Schur. Schur is also the creator of another comedy series Parks and Recreation and he is also responsible for writer over 100 episodes of the hit comedy skit Saturday Night Live. Goor created some punchlines for a number of famous names like Carson Daly, Jon Stewart and Conan O'Brien. Together they make what probably is the funniest cop show on earth today in the name of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
2. It's A Cop Series
Quick, what is the most common type of television series in the US that have logged in multiple seasons? Answer - cop series. Law & Order, NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds, Bones, The Mentalist, Castle, Dexter are just examples of the few. Why? Because cop series have a plethora of plots and twists to choose from (judging from the number of criminals that are inside prison right now) and they can just add some cool details to make it fit the series. And since BNN is a cop series, they can just add some cool cop stories to their already successful office antics and field adventures.
1. The Cast
Brooklyn Nine-Nine's cast, as per Jake Peralta's (Andy Samberg) description of his precinct "family" during their Thanksgiving episode, includes 2 black dads (Andy Braugher as Captain Ray Holt & Terry Crews as Sgt. Terry Jeffords), 2 Latina sisters (Melissa Fumero as Detective Amy Santiago & Stephanie Beatriz), 2 white brothers (Joe Lo Truglio as Detective Charles Boyle & Dirk Blocker as Detective Hitchcock), Gina (Chelsea Peretti) and the giant baby (Joel McKinnon Miller as Scully). Together they run the most hilarious police precinct in Brooklyn ever.
