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: When Holt (Andre Braugher) decides to go out of town, Peralta (Andy Samberg) loses his dog Cheddar.
Peralta Problem: Upon losing Holt's dog, Peralta seeks the help of the precinct to track him down.
Subplot of the Week: While Peralta looks for the dog, Gina (Chelsea Peretti) much distract Holt for as long as possible.
Best Joke: When Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) needs Pimento (Jason Mantzoukas) to sign a paper, they perform a paper signing that is a little bit seductive and weird looking.
Culprit: While the dog ran away on his own, he ran to the park as a sign of missing Holt's husband.
Resolution: Holt gets Cheddar back after Peralta admits that he lost him. Pimento admits to Diaz that he loves her, possibly too much. Holt confesses that he and his husband are having problems and decides to go to Paris in hopes that this will work out. Meanwhile Boyle, who had eye surgery and was temporarily blind, gets his eyesight back. Meanwhile, Gina's distractions involved ruining Peralta's car, which now makes loud noises whenever anything happens.
Verdict: It's a pretty straightforward episode with not a lot to offer beyond the main plot. While it was nice to see Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) being blind, there's still the idea that maybe this episode has way too much chaos going on and thus maybe is a little much. However, I do enjoy that Diaz and Pimento are apparently a love interest that will hopefully continue to develop as time goes on. Still, a solid episode, but not one that is exceptional. The ending's confessional of Holt having a problem with his husband was a nice touch, but the rest is very silly and lacks a diverse pallet that makes for a great episode.
Rating: 3 out of 5
