It may be risky to introduce your friends to Brooklyn Nine-Nine with the significant event this episode centres on – after all, the entire show builds up to it – but it's definitely worth it. The finale of Season 5 follows the main characters on their wedding day as their ceremony is disrupted.

  1. HalloVeen (Season 5, Episode 4, 9.4)

The episode features the 99th precinct during their annual event – the Halloween Heist, from which a new 'Amazing Human Slash Genius' must emerge. It's hilariously entertaining as the characters test their friendships and relationships, clashing over the elaborate treasure hunt.

  1. The Box (Season 5, Episode 14, 9.5)

Arguably one of the more serious episodes, it follows Jake in his efforts to get a suspect to talk while Captain Holt forgoes his opera night to assist his subordinate, leading to a disruptive conflict between the two. The episode showcases Jake's professional and personal growth and offers a fresh perspective on Holt.
