Our Review
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013) is a comedy and action series from Peacock. It has built a run of 153 episodes at roughly 30 minutes each. It premiered on September 17, 2013. Viewers rate it 8.1 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 8 seasons.
What Brooklyn Nine-Nine Is About
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an ensemble comedy about a talented-but-carefree detective, a by-the-book police captain and their precinct colleagues. While based in the workplace, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is not really about the job – it’s about the men and women behind the badge.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 153 episodes, spread across 8 seasons and it leans into its comedy/action roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher and Joe Lo Truglio to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Joe Lo Truglio, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews and Melissa Fumero lead the cast.
Key roles include Andy Samberg as Jake Peralta; Andre Braugher as Raymond Holt; Joe Lo Truglio as Charles Boyle; Stephanie Beatriz as Rosa Diaz; Terry Crews as Terry Jeffords.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, action and crime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Peacock’s other originals, a 8.1/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2013 and carried by Peacock with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and action viewers.
How Brooklyn Nine-Nine Compares
If Brooklyn Nine-Nine lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/action lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream

On the whole Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/action roots, It has held up since 2013 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and action lane, at 153 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 8.1/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 8.1/10. Watch it if you want comedy/action you can settle into.
