Why you should binge-watch 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' 

Spearheaded by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, Brooklyn Nine-Nine hit the small screen practically five years ago. Fox canceled the series after five seasons. But because of the resurfacing of a huge number of avid fans, NBC picked up the series for a sixth season with eighteen episodes. 

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is currently on top of our list of the funniest and most popular shows on TV.  It has a trademark brand of humor that's pivoting from slapstick goofery to witty barbs and smart character-based gags that are delivered effortlessly. 

The sitcom showcases a consistent and appealing plot which attributes its current success. It also features a strong collection of cop characters  who are very convincing and “relatable”.

Now, you might have read it somewhere over and over again, but you might still be wondering why everyone is raving about this cop series - which is basically surreal from the cops we all know around the corner. Because the ensemble is so pure and cool that even you could consider as 'perfect', you'll definitely want to be part of this dysfunctional crew of Nine-Nine! 

When the show started, Jake Peralta was introduced to us as the main protagonist - Jake is a very competent and intelligent detective. However, as the story unfolds, we discover how "too cool" Jake is and that he's more focused on humor than he is on work.

After a few seasons, it seems that his charm overshadowed his immaturity. It can be argued that he sort of grew up. He became more sensitive about the people around him. And even though he has trouble expressing his feelings by preferring to crack jokes, he learns to reveal his feelings in the coolest way possible. ;)

Jake remains to be the cool detective you want to be - if you were a detective, your boss is Hoult, you're allowed to run a heist inside your office, and if you can deliver witty barbs. We all have that feeling of wanting to be awesome and cool at all times, thinking about humor in a dragging or risky situation. However, as life progresses, we'll realize that it's difficult to go against the current. But Andy Samberg, A.K.A. Jake “the genius” Peralta, makes us realize that the good and bad side of being awesome is always there. He made us believe that we can be mature and immature at the same time. No judgments!

Rosa is always one of the most favorite characters, not only in this series, but in the industry because she represents everyone's "grumpy inner-self" from memes to real-life quotes. A huge portion of the show is devoted to portraying Rosa as the outspoken detective who is never afraid to show her true colors (which is technically bloody red). She is smart, attractive, and very brutal. 

It is her timid smile and “Fear is a powerful aphrodisiac” motto that fuels our desire to shut off the world sometimes, too. While this is presented in a very humorous fashion in the show, there is a dark familiarity to this.

We have all been made inferior to other people, whether it was intentional or not. Basically, this was experienced by Rosa in her dark past and we see how she feels about it. Still, she gives us a strong feeling of empowerment. She shows us that it's okay to be strong and firm as long as you're not hurting anyone. 

Well, Rosa might have physically hurt some of her colleagues and friends and burned office supplies but she'll never betray the precinct and she keeps blocking the negativity to protect their relationships and friendships while in Nine-nine.

Plus the fact that she came out bisexual in the previous season - it's easy to see why this character is very lovable!

Scully and Hitchcock go off on their own disgusting and outlandish adventures on a daily basis, from talking about their ailments to going to their secret hideout. 

One of the most impressive things about this show is its attitude towards its female characters. The creators Goor and Schur created a place that is essentially gender-blind in the best way possible. There is never a moment when a female character must strive to prove herself in a ‘boys club’ environment; everything is on pretty equal footing from the start. 

Sure, every character fights to prove themselves to the captain and to each other in a competitive environment, but there is never any doubt over the ability of women in the role of a police detective.
