Spoilers forBrooklyn Nine-Nineseason six below.
Whena canceled TV show is raised from the dead, it brings up a mixture of two specific emotions.
First, theres joy and a sense of reprieve.It was a near miss!
What if its run out of things to say?
Even better, the new season ofBrooklyn Nine-Nineseems to be doing exactly what any show in its sixth seasonshoulddo.
Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) will still love Captain Holt, his wife Amy Santiago, andDie Hard.
He wants to go directly to the mayor and talk about how vigilante police practices are harmful and unjust.
He wants to make noise about the things he thinks are unfair.
Even within that new frame,Brooklyn Nine-Nineis still unmistakably itself.
There are mild internecine feuds inside the squad room, the bread and butter of any workplace comedy.
(The Durrells in Corfu!
Is my mother secretly on theBrooklyn Nine-Ninewriting staff?!)
Its easy to forget becauseBrooklyn Nine-Ninedoes its job so well, but this is a fundamentally an escapist show.
That balancing act is no mean feat.
I love that aspect ofBrooklyn Nine-Nine.
I love the gags and the goofiness and theenormous mumpsand thepranks.
