I mean, any long term sitcom is gonna basically be about a group of people growing close and sharing a lot that bonds them, especially if its a show where like characters get married, become god children to each other's kids, come out to one another, and stuff like that. Not even counting the part where they've been in life and death situations and saved each other's lives or freedom in a bunch of cases. It just might seem odd if like you don't like the people you've been working with for 7+ years. That would be a very different tv show.

I dunno I've got some people in my life that I've known for decades, and we don't have bi-weekly emotional declarations of loyalty and I wouldn't risk my entire life for them. Sometimes people just work together.

I've never worked in a place quite that co dependent either. But given what we've seen them go through together it kinda makes sense. Its tv logic but like, mainly because reality doesn't really work the way sitcoms do. Like if you one time saved my life, got me clear of false criminal charges, were the person I trusted to come out to, invited me to stand at your wedding, I helped organize an impromptu wedding for you, and you asked me to care for your kids then I hope I would feel very strongly towards you. Or else stuff is about to get awkward.

Well yeah, but you gotta have things happen in episodes. In a real work place, Charles and Rosa would not have had a happy ending, but they're not gonna portray the situation of having to awkwardly avoid a creeper for multiple seasons, so Charles eventually gets over her and they bond over being good cops who trust each other. As long as you've got a continuous crop of characters, you've only really got the options of having said characters' relationships grow deeper, having some characters never interact, or hitting the reset button between episodes or seasons. They could have done a show where, say, Amy doesn't trust Terry because Terry has dropped the ball one too many times, but that would be a very different show.

I wasn't the biggest Gina fan but she did bring a lot of antagonism to the team and I think it's missing that now. Probably too late to introduce a new team player who clearly isn't one, unless Hitchcock and Scully start to be a)more prominent and b) less goofballs and more grotesque.

Hitchcock is already fairly grotesque. I mean, Scully has the heart condition of gold, whereas Hitchcock has been the creepy, pervy one this whole time. I'm not saying I'd change them, but he's already grotesque enough.

Yeah, the Gang played cop for about 3 seconds before they just embraced corruption and abuse fully. In fact, that's why they did it in the first place.

Based on what's happening right now, are they going to make changes in the next season? I mean, they did a couple very special episodes but the latest news has been pretty widely seen.

I imagine they'll at least touch on it the way they did with that Terry episode about being profiled. They'll talk about other cops abusing power and being violent and say the right things and then go back to normal. Ultimately the show tends to have its heart in the right place but isn't THAT kind of show.

Part of the subtext is that the police outside the 99 are almost entirely loving terrible, including virtually all the upper brass. But yeah it's mostly not a preachy every episode kind of show.

When people say that they grow overly attached and that would never happen at my workplace...layout right. Sitcoms do not and have never accurately represented the workplace. As you need to go on adventures and interact heavily with your comworkers or the plots can’t do anything. Workplace sitcoms are more like loving around with your friends than an actual workplace

Brooklyn 99 is about the police roughly to extent that Hogan's Heroes was about WWII.

I would be totally down with a career shift for the entire dept, someone in another thread suggested they suddenly became firefighters and it would work. Reminds me of when Archer had to drop the whole ISIS thing, and they did a good job of it (albeit it’s not as big a shift, but it was a solid ‘this has to be done, it’ll be fine ‘ move for sure).

Ok, so I've been trying to get my head around this since I first saw it but isn't Terry saying that white people should also help end white supremacy? I'm honestly not trying to be difficult or anything like that, that's just what my impressions were of the tweet. I've seen hundreds of replies complaining about it so I realize I'm most definitely wrong. I definitely don't want to be on the wrong side of this, but I'm trying to see the problem here, and it's difficult for me to do so. Help?

Eliminating White Supremacy does not make Black Supremacy the law of the land. Even wording things like that frames it in what the racists currently think is going to happen.

lovely people love to frame any concept or effort to help black people as taking things away from white people. See affirmative action or things like the Rooney Rule in the NFL even as ineffective as those things have been. Playing into that bullshit narrative doesn't help anything.
