ABOUT BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" follows the exploits of hilarious Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and his stoically ever-professional captain, Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), along with their diverse, lovable colleagues as they police the NYPD's 99th Precinct. In this final season of the series, Jake and the squad must try to balance their personal lives and their professional lives over the course of a very difficult year.

Rounding out the ensemble is Sgt. Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumera), who has a passion for organization and a weakness for dork dancing; Lt. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews), a mountain of a man whose most powerful muscle is his sweetheart; Jake's best friend and human puppy dog, Det. Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio); and the incredibly secretive, tough-as-nails Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz). Also part of the Nine-Nine are veteran officers Det. Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Det. Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker), whose only skill as police officers is their ability to make a passable pot of coffee.

Created by Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" won the 2014 Golden Globe Awards for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical and Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical (Samberg). Emmy winner Braugher earned four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Capt. Holt.

I love how Jake & Holt both grew as characters thanks to each other.

[maha_]

I’m glad Jake solved his puzzle on how to grow up, throughout the seasons we see him become more intelligent and make new friendship! 9️⃣9️⃣

[aayushchandra]

" Jacob Peralta is my best And so began one of the best police sitcoms ever.

[JaimeNyx]

That final scene still makes me tear up. Jake and Holt’s dynamic is one of the best in any sitcom.

[FlashAm]

I love Jakes confident, cocky, but charming personality. I'm really happy how his character development turned out

[Sharks.are.friends]

I LOVE IT when after Jake gets the dentist to confess, holt says "sounds like someone else I know" jake said: "yeah, kevin" that was one of the best line in that episode. It made me die, and I loved seeing holt laugh at it too

[sonictheidontknow]

Jake has one of the best character developments I’ve ever seen, he changed so much but kept his funny/childish way and I love that so much

[alexanderforrester]

From the greatest human/detective to the 2nd best father/detective.

[rrcmk]

The last scene of Holt Jake conversation is sooo wholesome and emotional! #99

[eternaltann]

jake’s character growth is one of the best i’ve seen on television. the fact that the show is a sitcom makes it even better

[Fankeybottle]

Did I just cry at the end when Holt said he would be proud to have a son like Jake?

YES.

[nahinraihan]

Cool to see Jake kept wearing the tie after that first episode with the tie. That shows growth right there for him too

[silentwalker]

Jake arguably had the best development on the entire show. He started off as an immature adult with daddy issues and a talent for solving crimes, to a matured father who has learned from his many mistakes and grown as a result.

[vfc]

Jake's character development is just such a great thing to see. From being someone destined to die alone to a family man who loves his son and wife.

[mortwycker]

I ended up in tears when Holt said "You finally figured it out."
The last season wasn't that good but the throwbacks are why I still love it.

[angrydalek]

Its so rare nowadays to find TV shows with fresh concepts that actually utilize good writing and character growth. This show did that,

[brandonbowers]

I miss this amazing show. I will be watching it for the rest of my life.

[esverker]

My favorite professor once told me she wanted her daughter to grow up to be like me, so yeah I tear up at that last scene every time. It hits like a freight train.

[TheRealCurtisWright]

I still get teary-eyed every time I watch that last scene of Holt saying he’s proud of Jake

[AldrickExGladius]

I never almost cried over 2 men having a heart felt conversation until the final episode of this show. And still now, just seeing clips of it has my feels worked up again.
This was(still is) a GREAT show!
