This was one of the best episodes of any show I've ever seen. It took a difficult, challenging and genuine issue and handled it with finesse and sensitivity, without skipping over the important details. Important opinions were expressed and listened to, and the humour in this episode came from other places and other plot points so as not to make the issue a joke. I'm blown away by the sensitivity and importance of this episode, and how well it was done. Terry Crews' acting was from the heart and honestly moved me to tears. What an outstanding 20 minutes.

The speech of terry he told really got to me. I think it delivered a very strong message. It was not forced, it was done with care and emotion. One of the best episodes

They tackled a very serious topic in a wonderful, sensitive and clear manner. They didn't vilify, they didn't sugar-cote and they didn't make it into a joke. The episode was still amusing but the fun came from other places in the show. Such as The Adventures of Jake & Amy in babysitting.

I applaud the writing and the acting, especially of Terry Crews and Andre Braugher.

This episode is the most serious and dark episode thus far, dealing with Terry being stopped by a cop outside his home when he's in civilian clothes (i.e. stopped for being black).

It has the normal obligatory humor with Amy and Nick having to babysit Terry's kids and explain racism to 7 year old. Which is good, but the real meat of the episode is Terry arguing with Holt on what to do and the repercussions of filing a complaint against the officer who stopped him. It gets very real and practical about picking which battles to fight, when to fight them, and the negative effects of doing the right thing.

It's nice to see this serious real life issue given justice in a comedic show, it didn't devolve into inappropriate/lame humor like most shows do as a cop out. The writer's weren't afraid to let the drama sit with you, it's not undercut by a random joke.

Brooklyn 99 is a comedy series and they don't usually deal with real world problems. Any regular viewer of the series will notice that this episode was a very special one, dealing with issues of racism. The episode's writers somehow managed to pull this tightrope walk off and I praise them for that. To send a meaningful message and still make it a comedy episode in the spirit of the series...
