Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Season One Recap and Reaction

This is certainly one of the best new comedies on the air this season.
Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is the goofy cop, but he is actually good at his job. Still, rules aren't really his thing and he hates that the new boss, Holt (Andre Braugher), makes him wear a tie. Though Holt and Peralta don't always get along, Holt will still stick his neck out for Jake.
The show's supporting cast is also brilliant. Terry Jeffords (Terry Crews) recently went on a diet because his wife felt fat after giving birth to their twin daughters. As a result of the births of his daughters, Cagney and Lacey, he is worried about dying on the job and thus has issues with being on active duty. Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) is cold, cold, cold. She is rough and tough and rarely shows her soft side, though one does exist. Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) is a foody and for the majority of the season has a huge crush on Rosa though once he meets food critic, Vivian (Marilu Henner), that basically goes away. He and Vivian become engaged because when Boyle is in to a woman, he dives head first. However, because Vivian wants to move to Canada for a better job, the relationship fizzles out, though the actual reason for their break-up is truly unknown. He takes the break-up extremely hard, eating food only for nourishment, not because it tastes good. Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) wants to be Holt's favorite and will do almost anything to please him. And then there is Gina (Chelsea Peretti). She is horrible at her job, which is a secretarial position, because she is so lazy. She likes dancing and carries a hair dryer in her purse because she's not an animal.
In addition to Boyle's crush on Rosa, Jake and Amy have a bet which Jake wins, meaning, he must take her out on a date. She doesn't hate it as much as she expected though it was pretty horrible as he makes her wear an ugly prom dress. However, soon she starts dating someone else, but in the finale, Jake tells her that he wished something could have happened between them.
In the finale, Holt tells Jake to get fired and so Jake causes an epic scene because his instincts were right about a guy he suspected of skimming money for his own uses. And in order to get close, he needs to be fired and then go under cover to investigate.
But what interests me more is that Boyle, with his egg bag and matrix costume, wakes up next to Gina. I was fully expecting Rosa so I was shocked. But this could certainly be interesting.
This show boosts one of the best, well-rounded casts on television, not to mention the most diverse, with each actor fitting in to their roles as though they were written specifically for them. The writing is also sharp and the funny moments come when you least expect them. I'm very glad that this show was renewed for a second season. Finale: A, Season: A-
