Ever since Brooklyn Nine-Nine aired on E4 here in England I've been stuck to the screen waiting for the next episode to come out. The show started off amazingly hilarious and seems to be just getting better. Each week you think that it's peak has been reached yet the following Thursday you're caught off guard by a new round of laughs and action brought to the table.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set around the 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn, a department which coincidently is home to a range of kooky and unique characters.
Taking the lead is Andy Samberg who is famed for his role in Saturday Night Live as well as his comedy YouTube sensation band The Lonely Island. Obviously comedy is his speciality and in this starring role he does not disappoint. Playing Detective Jake Peralta, a laid back cop who somehow always gets the job done spectacularly, Samberg is able to portray his character through a range of slapstick comedy, puns and offensive jokes.
He is backed up by the precincts new Chief Of Department, Ray Holt, played expertly by Andre Braugher. This role is needed to be approached completely seriously and Braugher is perfect for this, with his constant straight face and his inability to laugh the chief plays the perfect counterpart to the relaxed Peralta.
Backing up these two are a variety of outstanding performances, including Charles Boyle, the clumsy, bumbling detective, the anger fueled Rosa Diaz and the stereotypical good two shoes that is Amy Santiago. Together this cast creates endless possibilities and directions for the show to go in, leaving the potential for plenty more seasons, all of which I will be more than happy to watch over and over.
All in all this show is a must see for any fans of similar comedies, for instance How I Met Your Mother and Scrubs and will be competing for me personally to become my most anticipated show each week.
