Enjoyed the vibe of the crew working at night, etc. But other than lines from Holt there weren’t too many laughs. 7/10

Brooklyn Nine-Nine 4.3
Ends the ongoing storyline, and brings everyone back together. Best part of the episode: anything related to Gina. 8/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 4.2
Jim O'Heir. While it is great to see the full cast back, the best parts here were still the Jake/Holt storyline scenes. 8/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 4.1
A great episode bringing the show back to what it is, at it’s core: Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher. Watching this, particularly the mid section where the two characters fought, I was reminded of the excitement I felt when the show was first announced. I was captivated by the these two actors sharing screentime. I could only imagine how awesome that would be. Then the show arrived, and surpassed my expectations. And here were are, three years later, and it is better than ever. This was very, very funny. Especially when Jake showed up at Holt’s workplace and took the job. The next scenes were wonderful. Highlight of the episode. And I love the way that, despite the comedy, we can see how much these two really care for one another. 10/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.23
The b-story wasn’t funny, and there wasn’t quite as much story arc resolution as one would have hoped for (like a return for Pimento). Instead we get a cliffhanger, which seems a tad unnecessary. 8/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.22
Dennis Haysbert. Great episode. Very funny (I loved the lint discussion scene) and there’s a terrific twist at the very end. I hope they do more serious story arcs after this one. 10/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.21
Prison.
- Cool story-of-the-week and a predictable, but nonetheless successful, Amy/Jake b-story.
- Stephanie Beatriz is a really, really good dramatic actress. Something that becomes more and more evident whenever they give her serious emotion to play.
- Love this serious story arc. Very ‘cop show’ of them.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.20
Bachelor and bachelorette parties. A perfect episode. It feels like every line in Gabe Liedman‘s script is hilarious and the pacing is rapidfire, which adds to the comedy. The show is really using Pimento/Jason Mantzoukas well. So funny. 10/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.19
The Terry/Jake a-story was light, and reminiscent of plots the show has done before. Gina had all the best scenes. 8/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.18
Great script by Jessica Polonsky, with funny stories for everyone all taking place as part of the a-story. Nice bit for Holt at end, too. 10/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.17
Jason Mantzoukas, Kate Flannery.
- Funny, but dark. Probably the darkest episode they’ve done so far. Not just the subject matter, but the amount of blood in those flashbacks.
- 8th episode written by Luke Del Tredici.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.16
Nice to see Scully and Hitchcock with more screentime, but the biggest laughs came from Holt and the musician(s). 9/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.15
Great to see Damon Wayans Jr. on the show, but that Stevie storyline went to the same well too many times for laughs. The B-story was stronger, more inventive and funnier. 8/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.14
Katey Sagal, Bradley Whitford. Absolutely wonderful across the board. Let me count the things I loved:
- Melissa Fumero as Amy. Many huge laughs came from her this week.
- The Jake storyline really had heart.
- Holt paired with Gina!
- In fact, I wish the Holt/Gina story (with Scully and Hitchcock) had gotten more screentime. It was pure comedy gold. Every time we came back to them I was in stitches.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.13
Craig Robinson, Niecy Nash. Very funny episode. 3 strong storylines. Loved the ending to the Captain Holt storyline. Great ‘Aw…’ moment. 10/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.12
Pairing Jake and Holt in quarantine should yield more laughs than this. Episode did get funnier as it went on, but neither the Terry story nor the Charles story caught fire in any meaningful way. 8/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.11
Kathryn Hahn and Chelsea Peretti are terrific, but the script lacks laughs. Everything feels forced. 7/10
Brooklyn Nine-Nine 3.9
Anders Holm, Riki Lindhome. Not a huge amount of laughs here, except for Boyle (who is hilarious). Nice Jake/Rosa storyline. 8/10
