Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a hilarious ensemble workplace comedy set in a New York City police precinct. Eight seasons of laugh-out-loud cases, legendary Halloween Heists, and one of TV's most lovable casts make it essential viewing for comedy fans.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows the detectives of the 99th precinct in Brooklyn, led by the perpetually immature but brilliant Detective Jake Peralta. Created by Michael Schur and Dan Goor, the show combines sharp character comedy with surprisingly well-crafted mysteries. It was cancelled by Fox and revived by NBC, running for eight seasons without ever losing its charm. The watch order is simple: start at the beginning and don't stop.

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch in release order, Season 1 through Season 8. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of those rare shows that is consistently excellent throughout its entire run—no bad seasons, no dramatic quality drops. Season 1 sets up the relationships and ongoing jokes that pay off over many subsequent seasons, so don't jump in anywhere but the beginning.
