The fan-favorite show has made a few mistakes over the years.
Although Brooklyn Nine-Nine is rightfully considered one of the best comedies of the last decade, the show about a police squad full of weirdos still had some unfortunate missteps during its eight-season run, and some of the episodes are generally disliked by the fandom.
Here are the five worst Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes.
5. He Said, She Said (Season 6 Episode 8)
While it was great that the show's writers decided to tackle the issues of workplace harassment and #MeToo, fans felt that the serious tone in 'He Said, She Said' didn't live up to the high standards of previous seasons, resulting in a dull and boring episode. The idea was certainly respectable, but the end result just wasn't exciting to watch.
4. Debbie (Season 7 Episode 5)
Most viewers hated Vanessa Bayer's Debbie from the moment she was introduced as an episodic character, finding her wild antics too forced and annoying to care about. So when the writers decided to make her the main character of an entire episode, fans didn't welcome the idea and called 'Debbie' one of the worst chapters in the series' history.
3. The Set Up (Season 8 Episode 6)
Given that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a comedy show, viewers were a bit conflicted when its main character, Jake Peralta, was painted as the villain of the story. Surprisingly, the writers decided to touch on police brutality using Andy Samberg's character as the poster child for everything that is wrong with the US police forces.
2. Return of the King (Season 6 Episode 15)
Chelsea Peretti's Gina Linetti was one of the most disliked characters, so when she left the force at the beginning of Season 6, fans were pretty happy. So it's only natural that the writers' decision to make her return in the biggest storyline of one of the final episodes offended viewers quite a bit.
1. The Good Ones (Season 8 Episode 1)
The first episode of the sitcom's final season gave us a good dose of reality with a strong focus on COVID and police brutality as the story's main themes. Most people disliked the serious tone of this opening episode and wrote negative reviews all over the Internet.
