Brooklyn Nine-Nine triple bill

shallownessI caught up on the first two episodes for various reasons and watched the third live.
4.13 The Audit
Good one to come back with after a break. I’d…forgotten that Gina had got hit by a bus. But I loved the structure of this, how it kept ramping up to the high point at the station of the coked-up rats making Cat!Boyle fall on to the machine. And the graphics of the machine!
Having Jake/Amy deal with Teddy – I thought he might not be over her – was an equally strong strand, with the questions raised by the fake fight being valid but nicely resolved. I think I’ve seen the actress playing Teddy’s Girlfriend, who seemed far too sane for this show, play A Sitcom Girlfriend before (on The Big Band Theory which I dip into more than watch because it is always on E4?)
Many laughs, good return.
4.14 Serve & Protect
Very meta, and it’s always good to see Nathan Fillion. More smiles from me than laughs (until Jake’s response to getting hated on on the show within the show). Which is not to say I didn’t appreciate all the absurdity. I liked that although it seemed as if Rosa was right about her prime suspect and being a good cop, she’d got it wrong – although Jake handled the search even more wrongly.
Bugs Bunny would probably dress up and make Grayson’s life miserable for a bit, Boyle.
Watching Gina be a terrifying interrogator, backed up by Amy, until they broke Terry’s self-satisfied memory of events, was also fun.
And it would be Rosa, the one who claims not to have feelings, to be most upset about her precinct being closed down and the threat to her connection to her colleagues/friends.
(I still prefer Community’s take-off of Law & Order, though.)
4.15 The Last Ride
This was funnier than the last episode, perhaps the melancholy of the threat to the precinct helped. Everything was ending, so everything mattered, and Jake and Charles’s nonsense/Boyle’s inappropriateness was funny, Hitchcock having the highest number of arrests brilliantly mind-boggling and Rosa’s sweetness to Terry touching, and I <3 that the mentoring and Santiago’s celebrations were the closer. And that Gina’s pranks – or lying and pretending she’d put cement in everyone’s drinks appearing to be a running gag, but being what saved the precinct tied it all together.
