Brooklyn Nine Nine Pilot review

 Jake Peralta, the best detective of Brooklyn's 99th Precinct, was used with their previous captain was so lax that he lets him do whatever he wants. All of that change when their new commanding officer Ray Holt is assigned to the precinct. Compared to the previous captain, Holt is more serious about his job. It was difficult for Holt to rise to from the ranks since he is gay. Now that he was given his first command, he refuses to lose it. This causes problems for Jake Peralta who refuses to follow to simple orders like wearing a tie while working. The two clashes immediately.



Peralta was assigned with Diaz and Boyle to investigate a murder involving a $6000 ham. Peralta and Boyle was able to locate the missing ham but failed to inform Holt about the lead. They tried capturing the suspect but he was able to escape. Holt furious about Peralta's behavior and refusal to follow order assigns him to the record room.  Eventually they found a lead and pointed them to a storage unit where they eventually caught the suspect. Peralta was more open to the changes and had a moment to bond with Holt. 



I didn't watch the show when it first aired in Septemeber 2013. I read some negative reviews about it that I thought it wasn't a show to watch. But after Brooklyn nine nine won the best comedy show in the Golden globe and I decided to give it a try. 

The show stars Terry Crews as Sergeant Terrence "Terry" Jeffords, the precinct squad leader. We are used to seeing Crews playing character who is physically intimidating but really a softie. It isn't really something new but nevertheless still very fun to watch. Peralta reminds me of J.D. in scrubs. He is corny at times and finds himself always trying to get on the good side of his superior. 

After watching the pilot episode, I decided to give this newbie show a try. What are your thoughts?
