Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Final Season Starts Off Strong With “The Good Ones” and “The Lake House”

“The Good Ones and The Lake House” Spoilers Ahead Brooklyn Nine-Nine has always been the show to take stands because it mattered, and never because it was performative.

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Will Wrap After Season 8 and We’re Not Ready

I’ve written and deleted this too many times because it never felts right. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is set to end after its eighth season and I have way too many feelings about this.  This show is more than just a procedural comedy—it’s a celebration of humanity and inclusivity.
