This is the first of a few incredible episodes that cover serious issues. This show is one of the best I’ve ever seen at dealing with serious things. Still manages to get the jokes in and doesn’t sound preachy
Jake and Amy awkwardly trying to answer Cagney’s and Lacey’s questions about what happened to Terry was so well done. The show has to balance a serious (and important) conversation of race and police within a sitcom, a genre in which its comedic, short-lived issues are it’s bread and butter. I think they did a great job doing that, especially given with later episodes on the same topics toward the series’ end.
Honestly might be one of the best sit com or even tv show episodes ever. The tone balance and writing in general is so good. I can’t help but come back to it every now and again
@@Jpew2007 you can tell that Terry Crews was drawing from his own trauma in his acting in this scene. When he was talking about his daughters, and his fears for them experiencing something like that, you can tell the actor was pulling from something deep. Probably some of the best acting Terry Crews has ever done, in my opinion.
You don’t expect sitcoms like these to tackle serious real world issues. But since the show is about cops I feel like they tastefully represented what this experience is like without coming across as unrealistic. It also shows the perspective from the police’s side which we rarely ever see.
This episode came out in 2017 so yeah it was before 2020 when bad policing really became THE topic. But of course it's been a problem and national discussion topic for years and years. They do this a few more times going forward with other tough subjects. Each one to me has the perfect balance of seriousness and comedy. Terry Crews is so good in this. And I love how even Holt has to evaluate his actions and change his response. So good. Glad y'all got back to B99. I was getting a little worried you had quit. I guess there's just been too much other stuff lately to react to and talk about.
This was a nice episode to me because it was a mix of real life issues and still had comedy to it. I think it was well done and people who say otherwise are either undercover racist or……. Yeah I can’t think of any other reasons
this is prob one of the saddest episode in the show because terry is such a good guy and what happends is just terrible and its scary to think that its like that in real life
This is the first episode (that I remember at least) where the writters showed that they wouldn't shy away from real life issues. It is not the last time they do that, specially with later events the US had to deal with (won't say specifics for spoiler reasons). It was a great episode. Nine-Nine!!
For the record cops are not like that all over the world but it is really interesting seeing this episode from an outside perspective. It really seems like they captured the issues and the weight well in a very well rounded way. I like that Terry and Holt were on two opposite ends of the spectrum and both helped and influenced each other, and I especially love the part at the end where Terry was questioning if what he did was right, because a lot of the time with lots of different topics we try our best but even sometimes that might not work out, and your having to choose between one good and another or stoping one evil versus another. I just love the way they tackled it from so many angles it felt very real in the commentary they made about it. That is from my understanding though.
Until I saw this episode no other network comedy show I have ever seen (with cops as the main cast) ever had the balls to really dive deep into racist cops like this show did. Now even though I’m half Hispanic I’m also pasty white so I never had to deal with shit like this from cops, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to take that cops baton and bash every single one of his teeth in. Thank you Brooklyn 99 for talking about issues like this.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I've had to have the cop talk with all of my kids, it can be rough, but I need my kids to be aware. I've been harassed by police before and they gotta know what could happen when you encounter them
Not just these kinds of episodes but I feel like b99 manages to be funny while lightheartedly talking about some topics viewers maybe gloss over in the shows usual banter
Yess finaly the reel rejects are back with another awesome B99 reaction and i Iove this episode of brooklyn 99👮🏻♂️👮🏻♂️👮♀️👮🏻♀️👮🏼♀️👮🏿👮🏿❤😊❤ it's an Amazing episode🎬🎥👌 and it was probaly one the most sort of serious episodes of season 4 from brooklyn 99 and reel rejects i hope your having a great day and enjoy the rest of week🤘😎☀️🤙love from the netherlands❤🇳🇱❤
When I got awkward questions from my kid I simply said it was part of adult life. Not that sex topics are automatically best avoided, but when that is the case, that's a fair response I think. 🙂
Is there a hatred towards last season for b99 in the community? Like GoT? Because in my opinion, the last season was awesome. Not the best, but sitcoms have a history of having really shitty last seasons.
@@tamberlame27I feel like the politics kind of had to be addressed considering it’s a show about cops and the climate of the time. It was definitely heavy handed and some of the bits of dialogue were just off putting but I feel like it was a lose-lose situation for them
The comment on if this came on the heels of a police related tragedy.... I'm thinking... when is the last time we didn't have a police related tragedy? We didn't always have cameras, but unlike the rare exposure of Rodney King, now that everyone has pocket cameras now they just all get caught.
Nothing like training cops to hesitate in life/death situations or moments where they could have prevented a crime by asking questions because they should instead stop and consider if what they’re doing is racist or not.
It’s a comedy sandwich. Shove a truth between two slices of laughter. I love this episode. Unfortunately, evangelical Christianity does the same thing except with BS.
As a man of color, I didn't appreciate the episode. Everything about it was awkward and forced. Please don't cancel/bully me if you don't agree with me.
Imo I don't really like these episodes, not because they aren't done well it's just that B99 isn't a show that takes itself very seriously. making jokes about child murder really takes the wind out of the sails when having a serious episode about racism
