Featured review
These types of storylines are going to continue, so deal with it, or stop watching
The writers of Brooklyn Nine-Nine were totally handcuffed (pun intended) with which direction they could go in writing and completing this season. Honestly, I didn't think the show would continue, because, particularly in urban areas, the relationship between the police and the communities they serve is very tumultuous. Many members of cast members and producers donated to protestors and the National Bail Fund Network. I'm sure just about no one was comfortable with the show continuing what some would consider copaganda, presenting a world in which city police officers are hapless, harmless heroes which grand moral compasses. Yes, there are good cops, but that sort of rebuttal offers nothing to the National conversation. That being said, confronting police violence is something everyone behind the show feels strongly about. So, there are going to be episodes like this where the message is overly pervasive or heavy-handed, and yeah, it's obviously a detriment (to some extent) to the quality. If this is going to bother you so much that you feel compelled to leave 1-star reviews because you don't appreciate having to be made aware of a very real problem with no foreseeable end in sight, then you should probably just stop watching. If you're someone who's been on the fence about watching this season because of the number of exaggeratedly low reviews, just know that the spirit of the show is more or less the same. For about 60% of the episodes, the hijinks ensue, the characters still walk and talk like they did before. If the show was a 9 before all of this stuff went down, it may have dropped to about a 7.5, but it hasn't taken a nose dive or anything.
