The Golden Globe-winning comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns for a third season of hilarity and crime. After an impressive first season that chronicled one of the best new ensembles solving problems and forming unexpected relationships, the series is back to tackle bigger things. Will it be as great as the first season? Stay tuned every Wednesday for the recap on that week's episode to find out through interesting tidbits including the best jokes and what the crew is up to that week.
Crime of the Week: There's a man who murders people and sets up the crime scene wit doll furniture and accessories.
Peralta Problem: When Wunch (Kyra Sedgwick) puts Holt (Andre Braugher) under scrutiny, Peralta (Andy Samberg) must solve the case without revealing Holt's involvement.
Subplot of the Week: Santiago (Melissa Fumero) and Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) must plan a birthday party for The Vulture (Dean Winters) that will ultimately humiliate him.
Best Joke: As Peralta consults Holt about the case, his disguise as a waiter fails and ultimately keeps throwing off his cool entrance as a customer keeps yelling at him for various issues.
Culprit: The Oolong Slayer is revealed to be hiding in a mannequin warehouse, where he waits until his next crime of murdering people from various Alcoholics Anonymous groups.
Resolution: Peralta gets credit for the entire case so that Holt can be transferred back to the precinct. Santiago and Diaz succeed in throwing a party that inevitably has The Vulture causing his own problems. Jeffords (Terry Crews) suffers from stress eating due to the promise of another child. Everything works out and the precinct is back to the way that it formerly was, including the departure of The Vulture, supposedly for good.
Verdict: If I can be honest, I was a little bothered by the cutesy language that was used towards the start of this episode. While the joke about demeanor, wieners was a little bit fun, the continuing use of abbreviating and changing around words was a little obnoxious. However, it's still a pretty good episode through and through and shows how the show is capable of working together. It's great to see Santiago and Diaz together once again planning things. You don't appreciate how different they are until they have to sabotage someone's plans. I'm glad that The Vulture is gone, especially because I worried that it would impact the show after awhile. Still, it's the relationship between Peralta and Holt that makes this a worthwhile episode, solely because of Holt's selflessness in order to benefit Peralta and the precinct. It's a strong moment that reflects why this show continues to shine.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
