Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 5
Considering how funny I’ve found Vanessa Bayer as Debbie in her other appearances this season on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you would think “Debbie,” in which Debbie becomes a coked-up antagonist to Jake and Rosa, would have been right up my alley, but somehow the episode slightly misses the mark. There’s plenty of laughs and even a solid emotional moment poignantly delivered by Stephanie Beatriz, but overall the episode never really gets going. Perhaps it’s because Debbie’s meek delivery was such a part of her oddness and it was completely erased once she did a couple of toots, but I suspect it’s because the writers forgot how they had success with the character in the past.
