It’s been far too long since we got to hang out with the wacky cops of Brooklyn’s 99th precinct on NBC’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine. So long, in fact, that the basic idea of cops—wacky or otherwise—has become significantly less appealing to the American public. Back in February, NBC announced that the series would be coming to an end after its upcoming eighth season, and though nobody came right out with a statement how cops are bad and the show is ending because of that, Terry Crews, Andy Samberg, and Andre Braugher all acknowledged that the show had found itself in a difficult position after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
