    It was pretty good

    I don't have much to say about this episode other than just...yeah it was pretty good. I mean some of it was kind of confusing and honestly, a bit messy but overall it was a perfectly fine episode. Nothing really wrong with it, nothing really that good about it. Although with that being said, there was a scene at the end which was really good and I thought made up for the rest of the episode. So yeah...not much to say. The only reason i'm reviewing this episode is cause there's only one other review. The episode just came out today and that other review is not being very kind to it.

    The Set Up

    This episode was good, but not the best of the season so far. It still had its Nine-Nine charm, but it had a more serious feel to it, just like the first episode. I didn't mind the more serious tone of both the episodes, but I prefer the classic, fun Brooklyn Nine-Nine. This episode had its funny parts, especially with nine drink Amy, and drunk Rosa switching places talking to O'Sullivan, and he didn't even notice. Then when they went to go talk to Jake, drunk while riding bikes. I busted out laughing every second invoking Amy and Rosa this episode, O'Sullivan is also hilarious, and I hope to see more of him. The ending of the episode sort of got on my nerves, I don't know what it was, I just didn't like the ending.

    This was a good episode, it just wasn't the best Can't wait for next week!

    They used to tell stories that fit in a message. Now they have a message and try to fit in a story.

    I know police in America need massive reform, I don't need a half hour comedy beating me in the head with that message.

    Handled really well and funny

    I genuinely think anyone rating this terribly cannot accept the police make wrong decisions and as an institution is flawed. Great episode, really funny too!

    So Predictable

    I think we can all agree police should be held accountable for their actions. I agree 100% with that statement. But, the way they're writing this season is like those old after school specials. It is so preachy that it comes off as annoying. It didn't surprise me that they had Jake mess up and be shown an example of this season. I love this show, but this season has been so disappointing. Even the couple of episodes that aren't overly political, are not written as well as the other seasons.

    • Goofs
      Upon coming up with the plan to switch places with Rosa, Amy declares that 9-drink Amy is a genius, implying that she has had nine alcoholic beverages. A Tale of Two Bandits (2019) established that 9-drink Amy only speaks French, which she did not do here.
