Coming to this series after the fact, beginning my viewing in 2026, I’d say it isn’t something for those seeking substantial complexity; however, it does manage to deliver on its humorous moments.

I wanted to share my thoughts because there aren’t many positive takes out there. This series is fantastic. It manages to be humorous, moving, and engaging all at once. I became invested in the characters and how they interacted, and it consistently held my attention. The performers have a remarkable connection with each other, and there are countless lines that stick with you. Brooklyn 99 really is something special…

I’m puzzled by a comment in another review mentioning canned laughter; this program doesn't have a studio audience or any pre-recorded laughs. Perhaps the person who wrote it was mistaken about what they were watching. However, if you appreciate Michael Schur’s other series—like The Office, Parks and Recreation, or The Good Place—you will likely find Brooklyn Nine-Nine entertaining. It is reliably humorous throughout…

The performances were terrible. The humor felt unnatural and contrived. Every joke was telegraphed by those obvious, pre-recorded laugh tracks. It’s like a throwback to really bad comedies from the eighties.
