Okay this week is finals week and all this crap is happening right now, so here is a quick little review on my favorite show this year Brooklyn 99.
It's a workplace comedy about cops basically. It's similar to Parks and Recreation and The Office, but they put a different spin on it, so it doesn't feel like you're watching the same show done 3 different ways. The mockumentary- type style things are my favorite type of shows and I really don't know why. These don't use any talking heads or anything like that, instead they show a lot of flashbacks, which is cool and different. It's just different and good.
I didn't think this show would be that good honestly and I really have no idea why. I like the type of show it is, I think Andy Samberg and Joe LaTrujio (I think thats how you spell his name... not sure). I guess the cop thing kind of threw me off and the commercials didn't look that amazingly funny. I happened to catch an episode because I had nothing to do and nothing else was on, and it was incredible. I think I started watching on the third episode and I knew I needed to go back and watch the first two like right away. And I did quite a few times.
And Andy Samberg is funnier than I thought. I always thought he was funny in The Lonely Island and stuff and I happened to like the movie Hot Rod a lot, but I never thought he was that great in SNL sketches. I didn't really think he could act and I feel like he knew that on SNL which is why he did digital shorts mostly, but he is so funny on this show. And a lot of the rest of the cast are pretty unknown like Santiago and Rosa and they are really good. And Gina played by Chelsea Peretti, who is just one of the funniest people on the planet is amazing.
Overall its a really great show. Puts a nice spin on workplace comedies and different than any other cop show on tv. Definitely check it out, I guarantee you will laugh your ass off.
That is it. I am tired and I need to get back to writing about the wire for class, I still have 2 pages left and I make bad life choices...
Byeeeeeeeeeee!
