Just a quick preamble:
If you're an adult who uses words or phrases like 'woke,' 'liberal,' 'virtual signaling,' 'cancel culture,' or 'agenda' when angrily describing something that has forced you to recognize perspectives other than your own, you should probably grow up, and also recognize your review will be saying way more about the nature of you as a person than it will be about the content you're complaining about.
That being said, if you also claim that films and tv should just 'stick to entertainment,' you're clearly (most likely intentionally) ignoring the important Hollywood as a platform means during these turbulent times. The best art, even a silly sitcom about cops, has always echoed our political and social consciousness. It would be impossible for a show like Brooklyn Nine-Nine to continue operating in it's fantasy world of goofy, well-meaning, ultra moral police officers when we see in real life it's very much not the case. The new outlook on police scrutiny cannot be ignored. I recognize that it's been occasionally heavy-handed, and easily telegraphed, but you HAVE to expect it is going to be, at least for a while while we as a nation addresses the very real issues with policing that exist. Personally, I think it's been handled about as delicately as it can.
I actually thought the show would cancel this last season, but they didn't, and here we are. I'm not going to tell you that it's hit the highs of earlier seasons so far, but do not let anyone tell you that the show is drastically different now. The show is (obviously, necessarily) attempting to include the National conversation in their plot lines, and, while they may not be as irreverently funny as storylines past, it would irresponsible to do otherwise. If you actually enjoy the show, and you're not just someone waiting on the next conservative outrage talking point, you'll probably still enjoy it.
