Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a 2013 comedy series created by Daniel J. Goor and Michael Schur. It stars Andy Samberg, Melissa Fumero and Terry Crews.
The detectives of Brooklyn's 99th precinct close real cases and cause an unreal amount of chaos doing it.

Around them sits a sharp ensemble of oddball colleagues, each with their own rivalries, schemes, and slow-building friendships. Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, this single-camera sitcom paired workplace warmth with rapid-fire jokes across eight seasons on Fox and then NBC.

A few thoughts on Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Gintama runs on the same engine of a ragtag crew, deadpan authority figures, and jokes stacked three deep, just with samurai and aliens in place of a squad room. For the show's mix of silliness and genuine heart, Undertale delivers comedy and emotion in equal measure, letting you laugh your way toward something that actually lands.
Workplace ensemble sitcoms with heart
Brooklyn Nine-Nine turns the 99th precinct into a found family, pairing rapid jokes with real warmth between coworkers. These workplace sitcoms share that formula, mining an office, store or courtroom for both chaos and affection. If the squad's slow-building friendships are why you rewatch, these clock in at the same job.
Fast-joke ensemble comedies about oddball friends
Created by Mike Schur, Brooklyn Nine-Nine fires off jokes at a single-camera clip while its oddball ensemble bounces off each other. These comedies keep that pace, building whole episodes on the friction between mismatched friends and colleagues. Reach for them when you want quick wit and a cast you would happily hang around.
Detective capers and whodunits to keep guessing
Underneath the jokes, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a police procedural, closing a case most weeks. These detective stories, from cop-show spoofs to classic sleuth novels, keep that investigative pull alive. Line them up when you like following clues to a culprit, whether the tone is playful or dead serious.
Classic and British sitcom favorites
Brooklyn Nine-Nine descends from a long line of workplace and ensemble comedies, and these are some of the ancestors. Vintage American hits and dry British staples build the same jokes-plus-camaraderie mix that the 99 perfected decades later. Comfort watching for anyone who wants to trace the sitcom bloodline back.
