This week on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, things get painfully real.
In the #MeToo era, it was only a matter of time before the writers decided to tackle the difficult subject — and they did so beautifully. As a woman, this episode was all too real and presented some hard truths to swallow. The episode title — "He Said, She Said" — might give you a little insight. There's some really deep moments that make you forget that this is a comedy and you'll feel all the feelings for some of the characters involved. It's certainly a hard watch, but definitely worth it.
But do not worry — the show keeps its top notch comedy throughout the episode!
The side plot involves Captain Holt and a certain old arch nemesis (and I'm not exaggerating when I say old). The news of his death does not fool Captain Holt for a second. As Terry and Charles help him look through the evidence, Holt comes to terms with the fact that his glory days might be over.
DIALOGUE TEASES
- “There's a finance guy with a broken dong?”
- “Thanks, Sergeant, that's a nice thought — for an idiot to have.”
- “The system's as broken as Seth's dong.”
- “I just don't think that men understand how different everything is for us.”
- “This is how people get tempted by the Devil. I see what you're up to, platter of tiny quiches!”
