Detective JAKE PERALTA (Samberg) is a good enough cop that he’s never had to work that hard or follow the rules too closely. Perhaps because he has the best arrest record among his colleagues, he’s been enabled – if not indulged – throughout his entire career. That is, until the precinct gets a new commanding officer, Captain RAY HOLT (Braugher), who reminds this hotshot cop to respect the badge.

Jake may have collared more criminals, but Detective AMY SANTIAGO (Melissa Fumero, “One Life to Live,” “Gossip Girl”) is close behind, and she’s keenly aware of how many arrests she needs to close the gap. Amy grew up with seven brothers who were all cops. She’s the first girl in the family to put on a police uniform, and suffice it to say: she’s extremely competitive… about everything.

Also working cases in Brooklyn’s 99th precinct is Sergeant TERRY JEFFORDS (Terry Crews, “Bridesmaids,” “Everybody Hates Chris”), a linebacker of a man who’s lost his nerve, not because he’s a wimp, but because a year ago, his wife had twin baby girls – Cagney and Lacey – and he can’t imagine not seeing them grow up. Detective CHARLES BOYLE (Joe Lo Truglio, “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Superbad”), who idolizes Jake, is the precinct’s workhorse; he’s not that brilliant, he’s not physically gifted, but he tries harder than anyone else. He is in love with Detective ROSA DIAZ (Stephanie Beatriz, “Modern Family,” “The Closer”), with whom he stands no chance at all. Rosa is simultaneously tough and sexy and scary as hell. She’s vocally opinionated about everything. Cleaning up everyone’s mess is GINA LINETTI (Chelsea Peretti, “Parks and Recreation,” “Kroll Show”), the eccentric, civilian office manager who somehow gets involved in everyone’s business.

Together, these tightly knit – or is it tightly wound? – cops interrogate suspects, arrest perps and solve murders. But, ultimately, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE is a workplace comedy that’s not really about the job. It’s about the men and women behind the badge – singing karaoke, eating gourmet ham and hitting on each other – all while protecting the fine people of Brooklyn.

@jcm Agreed! I think this is my favorite comedy on TV. It's consistently good every week and the premiere was fantastic. I bet this is going to be another great season.

I totally agree this is also my favorite TV comedy. It captures the heart and comedic consistency of Parks and Recreation.

Yep, I did.



I was wondering if they were going to address how coach from new girl is a cop arrested for fraud in Brooklyn nine nine.

Nevertheless, still love this show.
Brooklyn Nine Nine quietly became the best comedy on television. It is just fantastic. The acting, writing, direction are all top drawer. This is the best TV comedy in a long time.
There are people who "act" funny (like Jim Carrey) and people who just "are" funny (like Bill Murray) - and Andy Samburg is in the latter catagory. He is the real deal. His comic timing is impeccable. And the supporting cast is perfect. Terry Crews should play this character forever!
 
Twitter outrage is at an all-time high and #RenewB99 is the #1 trending topic. Even celebrities are losing it...









HULU and TBS are very interested right now, so here's hoping one of them picks up the Nine-Nine! :yawn:
