One of the critically acclaimed police procedural comedies that many might love rewatching is Brooklyn 99, known for blending humor with crime-solving. Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the series debuted in 2013 and ran for eight triumphant seasons.
Brooklyn 99 revolves around the fictional 99th precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, where detectives work under Captain Raymond Holt, played by Andre Braugher. He's a no-nonsense leader and believes in strict rules and discipline, which is a stark contrast to another key character Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg).
Unlike Holt, Peralta prefers solving crime in a fun and lighthearted way, adding to the core theme of the sitcom. What sets the TV series apart from typical sitcom is the way how it focuses on multiple characters instead of one titular figure.
Brooklyn 99 ended in 2021 with its finale titled The Last Day split into two parts, through which viewers could explore the fates of each key character like Jake, Roza, Amy, and more. Continue reading to learn how the fan-favorite sitcom concluded.
