Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz): she is tough but scary.Gina Linetti (Chelsea Peretti): the spacey-but-sharp office administrator.Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews): the archetypal gentle giant, with two new baby daughters and therefore a terror of getting hurt in the field.Also also, this is a pretty diverse cast, in a cheerful, no-nonsense way. Also, it’s kind of awesome that you have a gay character where the gayness isn’t his entire deal. And I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy the interplay between the great Andre Braugher’s resolute deadpan and Andy Samberg’s manic energy. The scenes where Jake Learns His Lesson are a bit wince-inducing, but also charming in their earnestness. Ensuring that his team works as a team is important, and Jake’s showboating maverick tendencies undermine that. Holt, you see, is an openly gay police officer, and after a lifetime of discrimination despite a stellar record, has been given command of his own precinct. Jake keeps trying to clown at, along or through the rules – until he figures out why it’s so important to Holt that the precinct be perfect. It drives Jake crazy that he isn’t allowed to do whatever he wants so long as he’s putting away bad guys – at which, to be fair, he seems to be really good. The two butt heads immediately over whether Jake wears a tie, and Holt puts him in his place quietly but firmly. Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) is a deep-voiced, deadpan straight arrow who has no time for Jake’s seat-of-the-pants oafishness. He’s used to having a drunk and apathetic boss, but there’s a new sheriff in town. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is a talented man-child, a detective at Brooklyn’s Ninety-ninth Precinct. It lays out its main themes and conflicts briskly, and then gets on with the job of making you laugh. The show is confident and breezy right out of the gate, trusting in its crackerjack ensemble and unashamed sincerity right from the off.

It’s a delight, but be warned that there are a few kinks to iron out along the way.

Its ensemble is fantastic and every single member of its cast has chemistry with every single other member. Next time: CRIMINAL PETE DAVIDSON Best Joke: That's the butt.Brooklyn Nine Nine is a sweet, beautifully-observed workplace comedy. This should be the base level of quality for all B99 episodes, and I'm happy to say that it only gets better from here. Solid jokes, a pretty basic plot, and an overall better, more colorful vibe than the pilot. I'm not the biggest fan of Charles x Rosa storyline in the early half of this season, and I can't wait until the storyline comes to a close. However, her positives are greatly outweighed, I believe, by Charles' overwhelming cowardliness and Gina's.well, straight up bullying. I'm glad Rosa wasn't as one-dimensional as she was previously, at least. Charles and Gina are very unlikable in this episode, keeping their obnoxious traits from the pilot. Where this episode faults is in the B-Plot. Additionally, the plain and simple assignments mixed which hide a more sinister plot (in this case, the cop rivalry between Jake and commissioner Podolski) are a recurring theme in B99, so I think that having the second episode be one of those is a good choice. Like Community (one of my favourite sitcoms), it takes its time to get gradually more ridiculous. I think if this show came out of the pilot guns blazing, it would have been much worse recieved. The plot of this episode is nothing special, but it's for the best. The writers know how overconfident he is, and make sure that his coworkers (especially Holt) let him know. I still think Jake is quite unlikeable in this episode, but it doesn't hinder the episode's quality. I think that the best thing this show has going for it is the growing and evolving relationship between Holt and Peralta, and this episode is the first of many of their semi-team-up episodes. This episode, while not as strong as the pilot, in my opinion, definitely does a better job planting this shows' roots as a memorable sitcom.
