I first saw a couple episodes of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" shortly after the series debuted. I didn't hate the shows....but I wasn't all that impressed. My daughter, in contrast, loved the show and talked about it for years. So, I decided to try it again...and I am so glad I did!
So what do I like about the show? The writing. Although the show often seem inconsequential and with some annoying characters, these characters are actually very complex. So, for example, although Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) comes off as very immature and annoying in some shows, over the course of the series, you see that there is so much more to him. The same goes for the rest of the cast...initially several come off poorly but over time they grow on you due to the writing.
What I really like about the writing is that although the show is a comedy and sometimes seems inconsequential, several plots during the course of the show had great depth and make you think....such as when Jake got out of prison and was suffering after-effects as well as the racial profiling episode with Terry. Overall, a very good show that deserved, in my case, a second chance.
