Story & Production Details
Reviews & Thoughts
Atrocious acting. Forced jokes. The punch line marked with canned laughs. The whole art of forgotten crap comedy shows of the 1980s.
Not sure what the "canned laughter" means in the previous (and only) review. This show has no live audience, and no taped laughter whatsoever. Maybe they're confused about the show. But, if you like any of Michael Schur's other shows (The Office, Parks and Rec, The Good Place), you'll enjoy Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Consistently funny. A weak last season, but solid up until then.
