The detectives of Brooklyn's 99th Precinct -- hotshot Jake Peralta, overachiever Amy Santiago, tough-as-nails Rosa Diaz, sweetheart Charles Boyle, devoted family man Sgt. Terry Jeffords and clueless best friends Scully and Hitchcock -- make up a loveable and offbeat squad that must get its act together when the office gets a new captain, the no-nonsense, unflappable Raymond Holt. Along with civilian office manager and social butterfly Gina Linetti, nothing will stop the crew from doing does what it does best -- bust the bad guys.

Critics Consensus

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's final year with Fox pops with such joyous affection that it could have been a satisfying closer for the series, but the ensemble's unflappable chemistry continues to gel so well that viewers will be glad that these cops will live to fight crime again.

Braugher plays Raymond Holt like his face should be carved into Mount Rushmore... He is magnificent.

Samberg's goofy energy has always been a perfect foil for Braugher's grounded gravitas, but they find themselves a worthy scene partner in [Sterling K.] Brown, who barely blinks when thrown into their chaotic midst.

The kinds of comedies people attach to at this level are often a lot more offbeat and niche-y than this... "Brooklyn" is not like that; it's a very silly, very big-hearted ensemble workplace show. It's just very good at it.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine goes out of its way to speak directly to its audience and say, 'we see you.'

Would have been a satisfying enough ending to the series, [but] the season 5 finale does a better job of demonstrating why the show deserved to be saved from cancelation.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which in its fifth season not only delivered a remarkably consistent set of episodes, but several of its most inventive, entertaining, and yes, important installments so far.

22 funny Fox Television episodes. Rated TV-14 for Intensely Suggestive Dialogue (D) and Strong Coarse Language (L).

While the final season is a stinker (what were they thinking?) this is an excellent show, with brilliant performances (eg Andre Braugher, Joe Lo Truglio) and great chemistry within the cast. I happily rewatch this any time, assuming it's somewhere between Season 1 and 7! Hats off to Andy Samberg.

This season presents a lot of new challenges but helps viewers get to know certain characters and relationships on new, and important, levels.

While the police stakes may be a little down, the personal stakes are up as the characters navigate new waters. A show staying this solid this long is a mark of endurance.
