Alas, I made it only through the first episode. It was an interesting concept, but they ruined it in later episodes. You made a good decision to not continue after the first episode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every week we are subjected to some grade school moral lesson (don't do drugs, don't be a racist, don't lie to the police etc etc etc)...it's about as deep-thinking as watching an episode of Barney the Dinosaur goof. Does anyone know how any self-respecting writer could work on a show like this? Next to zero research into actual police procedures, every single cliche known to police procedurals (including the "incompetent boss" cliche and the one that builds up the "hero" of the show to be almost super-human). It's total drama crap. I know that opinions about TV entertainment can be varied, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen any shows lately that we could all save time by not bothering to even click on? Those shows about Doctors and Firefighters look cookie cutter and absolutely pointless. Same with the NCIS series and other Cop shows outside of The Wire and Brooklyn 99. I found some of the Marvel shows to be pretty bad. Wandavision and Loki were ok, but I did not like Falcon and Winter Soldier or Moonknight, didn't finish Hawkeye, and couldn't be bothered to watch the rest of them. The majority of my TV viewing revolves around Star Wars content at the moment. Nothing amazing, just comfort viewing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like it even more than Breaking Bad. I’m especially a huge fan of Lalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta add Southland and The Shield to that list I think...they were both incredibly well written and more true to life than so many others. The NCIS series was good before (not the spin-offs LA and NOLA...they were crap), but it has recently become too sappy and juvenile as well. And I agree with Brooklyn 99, incredibly well-written. Each character's development was so over the top, with the best being Capt. Holt, and of course Det Pimento, he took me back to the right Rev Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd) from Taxi...so bizarre and self un-aware...loved it!

I like Michael Chiklis and have been wanting to watch The Shield for awhile. I was never a big Samberg fan but 99 changed my opinion of him. I never would have thought that Brooklyn 99 was a show I needed in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has so many stars in it besides Chiklis...Walton Goggins, CCH Pounder, Benito Martinez, Catherine Dent and, in a strange twist of fate, Kenny Johnson who now stars in the show that started this whole thread SWAT. Man, it's like he went from the NHL to 3rd division in Northern China...so talented and stuck with writers now on SWAT that would have trouble writing a decent limerick...tragic...thread=full circle. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked it. It is better that way, but there were still some major aspects of the show that ruined it for me. Spoiler Most notably, the detective's ending. It made his whole story-line pointless. And some of the games were unbalanced, which took away from the purpose of the games. #1 rigging the one game by losing intentionally, and the jumping platforms game ensures only the last x will make it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
