Easily one of fall's better new comedies, but don't expect to be blown away yet. The pilot offers just a taste of what's to come, which is plenty good enough.
Goodness knows cop shows are ripe for a bit of well-crafted parody, but if we're lucky, these folks will find even more rewarding material in the weirder corners of this precinct.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, with its solid supporting cast aiding and abetting Samberg, has a so far/so good first outing that rises above the majority of this season's new fall comedies.
Even if Brooklyn Nine-Nine doesn't revolutionize the cop show format, it shakes up the formula enough with its cast of characters to offer something worth watching.
