    mixed feelings ...

    Holt was the funniest.

    Boyle was so off. It did not even make me feel bad for him. And why is Peralta still having this awful hairstyle and he is not that funny this season.

    Amy screams a lot this season which is annoying.

    Will the rest of the season be that way?

    They did it again.. Episode 3 isn't as bad as episode 1 but still.. A cop show that bashes against cops.. It is unsubtle, it is not funny and it is, again, misplaced politics.. At this point I'm not sure I'm gonna watch the rest of the season..

    They did it again...

    I undestand why B99 finds the need to talk about police problems, but this is not the way to do it.

    Having a police comedy bashing on real police is just sad.

    They could use the show to show that there is good guys in both sides, but they dont.

    That is the problem about this episode.

    Is not bad as the first one, but is not even close to what B99 used to be.

    They could have use this episode to show that the Police is also suffering with this situation.

    When politics becames the main thing in a show that is not about politics... is always bad.

    Great episode

    This was a great episode, filled with Jake and Charles moments that have been lacking in the first 2 episodes. Can't wait to see how it all ends.

    It seems as though people are hating on the show now because its "too political" and its feeling "forced." The reality is that this show has always dealt with difficult issues. Stop hating on the show because you think it's popular, enjoy the show for what it is. A brilliant comedy that tackles real-world issues.

    Bottom 4 episode

    The defund the police agenda making it's way to b99.

      When he has a health scare, Charles says he has to tell his son he'll be an orphan again. Nikolaj was not an orphan. His mother gave him up and his biological father, Gintars, was featured in season 6's Gintars (2019).
    • Quotes

      Raymond Holt: I'm saying the Nine-Nine just became a case study for how a police force can work better with fewer police.

      Frank O'Sullivan: Are you actually talking about laying off cops?

      Raymond Holt: If these numbers persist, I may have no choice.

      Frank O'Sullivan: Then I'll just end the Blue Flu.

      Raymond Holt: Great. That's what I want.

      Frank O'Sullivan: Then I won't end the Blue Flu.

      Raymond Holt: Great. Fewer cops. That's what I want.

      Frank O'Sullivan: You just said that--

      [beat]

      Frank O'Sullivan: This is a very frustrating conversation.
