Advance review: Of the upcoming single camera comedies this season, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the one with the most potential to develop into a legitimately funny series, and secure its place in your regularly scheduled appointment television.
The premise is pretty straightforward: a gifted but childish detective (Andy Samberg) and his wacky group of colleagues/cohorts get a new captain (Andre Braugher) who wants to whip them into a respectable team. Simple enough, but rather than acting as a detractor, the clarity of the conceit works in the show’s favor.
The pilot does a solid job of establishing the tone, characters, relationships, and basic set-up of the series. We are given to understand that no crime, not even murder, will be taken entirely seriously. It’s a good thing, too, because it’s going to take many viewers a moment - or several - to get on-board with Samberg as ace detective Jake Peralta. It’s hard not to think of gift wrapped family jewels when Samberg springs to mind. The actor does a wonderful job of capturing the essence of the “too smart for his own good” class clown here, though, rather than falling back on his more over-the-top caricatures from his SNL days.
