The detectives of Brooklyn's 99th Precinct -- hotshot Jake Peralta, overachiever Amy Santiago, tough-as-nails Rosa Diaz, sweetheart Charles Boyle, devoted family man Sgt. Terry Jeffords and clueless best friends Scully and Hitchcock -- make up a loveable and offbeat squad that must get its act together when the office gets a new captain, the no-nonsense, unflappable Raymond Holt. Along with civilian office manager and social butterfly Gina Linetti, nothing will stop the crew from doing does what it does best -- bust the bad guys.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) s.e. smith Bitch Media The final season was a chance for the show to engage in some systemic critique; its attempts to do so, however, largely fell flat... A soft-pedaled version of policing and the people who do it. Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe It was a warm-hearted, densely crafted comedy that was one of the networks' last decent originals. Fortunately, the two-part finale did the series justice, and you should check it out if you were ever a fan. Oct 20, 2021 Full Review Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Vikram Murthi AV Club "The Last Day" is far from Brooklyn Nine-Nine's finest hour, but it deserves credit for checking off every series finale box while telling a fun story without going overboard on saccharine material. Rated: B+ Oct 12, 2021 Full Review Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Valerie Ettenhofer Film School Rejects So far, its final season is very funny, and its certainly rewarding for longtime fans. Most importantly, its also growing, changing, and asking tough questions about its own premise up until the very last moment. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Matt Roush TV Insider With one last caper, the wacky precinct that stole our hearts and tickled our funny bones signed off after eight seasons on two networks. As Jake would say: Noice. Jan 3, 2022 Full Review Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 8 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Alex Hudson Exclaim! This final season is an awkward combination of tones, as it aims to be both insightful and funny and ends up being neither. Rated: 5/10 Nov 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Caleb v I wish the entertainment industry would stick to creating quality content instead of diving into politics. The first seven seasons were fantastic—I thoroughly enjoyed them—but the eighth season was a disappointment. Mixing politics with comedy like this just doesn’t work. The show prioritized pushing a message over delivering genuine humor, relying instead on repetitive jokes and absurd storylines. If they had maintained the same approach as the earlier seasons, the finale would have been so much better. It deserved a stronger and more fitting conclusion. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/24 Full Review Conrad C You can tell from the first episode that this final season will not be the same, or as good, as what came before. The show switches focus, with comedy taking the backseat to more serious material. Earlier seasons had occasionally tackled harder topics without losing the tone, so the whiplash this season imposes on its viewers feels all the more unnecessary. This season makes you happy to say good-bye to Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Platos P I adored Season 1-7, but Season 8 was such a confusingly drastic change of tone and narrative that it was immediately unwatchable—it literally produced physical pain in my chest. So much felt entirely disconnected from the previous seasons, and it went from "thoughtfully hilarious" de-stressing comedy to politics-lead preaching at the expense of art and story. The decision to start the series off with such a depressing first episode felt like getting struck in the face with a hammer after coming in for a warm hug. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Niccoló S The first 7 seasons were pretty good and sometimes even great with really important topics touched every now and then…and them the 8th season came and it was a train wreck… Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Waniya S This wasn't the best season to end Brooklyn nie-nine. In fact I would say they ruined Rosa Diaz's character. I didn't enjoy season 8 like every other season. But this show as a whole is definitely my comfort show. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Kevin C Absolute trash. Love this show,and I've watched this season 3 times over, zero redemption, Rosa becomes a shitbag Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
