Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021)
4/10
Season 1 so-so and Season 2 has dropped two notches
17 October 2014
I'm at the the point of season 2 where I might just give this show maybe two or three more episodes to pull out of its doldrums.

The one bright spot, always, is Terry Crews. He steals every scene he is in. He always does that.

In judging this show, consider the time/change for 2014-15. It has been lumped in amongst the cartoons. Which at first I thought was weird but it basically IS a cartoon. Even at that, they might have just kept the show at about the same level of humor as last year but they didn't. Melissa Fumero was a perfect straight foil to Samberg's character, but now she is just a shadow of her former self, mostly lapping at the captain's boots. So far, anyway. And Peretti's character was a high point of the show last year, borderline psychotic, but funny as heck. She is not the same character at all ... like she found her meds or something. I mean, it's okay, but it's definitely lost a good bit of its appeal. If you like poo-poo and pee-pee jokes, that's fine with me. But I'd be surprised if it makes it the entire year.
