Reasons I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine
I recently caught up with this show and it has been put on the list of my favorite tv shows (which is just X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer lol) and I thought I would tell y'all some of the reasons I love it so much:
1. POC characters that are not “stereotypes” of what race or ethnicity they are, and if they are it’s not seen as a negative thing. 2. Gay characters whose sexuality is not a punchline to any jokes. It’s treated as normal, as it should be. 3. Characters who are actually happy to be in a relationship and the relationship is not unhealthy in anyway. 4. Deals with issues that actually matter without making a joke out of it. (Mainly discrimination of race/sexuality) 5. Funny as hell.
The only offensive/rude characters are the ones who are made to be that way. The main characters (besides Scully and Hitchcock, they’re just…) are nice people with good intentions. I’m so over TV shows that are “cringe comedy” and can get away with making offensive jokes and such because “it’s supposed to be like that.” No. B99 is a good example of a show that can be hilarious without being offensive AND can still talk about serious issues.
