![]() ![]() Or in the case of tonight’s episode, “The Tagger,” very well. It’s too early into Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s run to say whether it’s doing procedural comedy better than other shows, but I don’t think it’s too early to say that it’s doing it well. Just because something’s been done and done well before doesn’t mean it can’t be done well again, or even done better. ![]() Likewise, being unoriginal isn’t always a formula for failure. Plenty of original TV shows (and films, songs, books, paintings, etc.) are terrible. ![]() The episode also shows that we need to stick to what is right even though sometimes it may be detrimental to us.Being original isn’t always a formula for success. We read people and based on them we can choose what to do or how to attack the situation. Though Holt’s style may work usually on people who have strong personalities who tend to fight back, the same may not be said for people who are shy, they may end up doing worse or crying because of the sensitivity attached to shyness. Some people are gentle and some people are really thick and needed to be dug through. This does not work on everyone because some people are motivated by negative reinforcement or punishment but instead prefer rewards or a little talking to instead. Sometimes you need to negatively reinforce or even punish someone to get them to do something properly or achieve results. Sometimes people just need a little push or kick in the right direction. Holt motivated Jake by babysitting him and thus making Jake want to be free so Jake tried extra hard to do his job really well. He understands how to deal with people and can be empathetic (although not really seen from his face and monotonous voice). Although Holt had a stern hand and is very strict, he still takes into account the whole person and not just the job. Even though Jake was threatened directly by the other commander, he still decided to do what is right. Holt undermined and gave Jake such an easy case which was to catch a vandal so he felt underutilized. That feeling of being underutilized did not hinder Jake but instead pushed him harder so that he could get his freedom back so he made a really good report and worked hard. Punishment is good in some circumstances because it makes the one who was punished not want to do the same actions again. After talks with the captain, Jake understood why the captain did that to him and arrested the son despite the bad things that may happen to him. Jake has to decide if he wants to let the kid go because his dad can make life bad for him or arrest him and bring him to court and do the right thing. He captures the criminal who ends up being another captain’s kid who has been doing many crimes but is always bailed out by his dad. Captain Holt gave an easy case to Jake because he didn’t really trust him with anything harder. Holt babysits Jake on his mission and says he cannot do them alone until he shapes up. So under his new captain, Holt, he is reprimanded in front of everyone. Jake has been doing very poorly (getting to work late, bad hygiene in the workplace, sloppy reports) and under his previous commander, received no reprimand. Jake Peralta, an immature but talented NYPD detective in Brooklyn’s 99th Precinct, comes into immediate conflict with his new commanding officer, the serious and stern Captain Ray Holt. Rounding out the precinct is sarcastic civilian administrator Gina Linetti ( Chelsea Peretti), who seems to value everything else in her life over her job. The detectives report to Sergeant Terry Jeffords ( Terry Crews), a devout family man who is initially afraid to go back to active police work following a near-death experience on the streets. Charles Boyle ( Joe Lo Truglio) is a capable but quirky detective who wears his emotions on his sleeve, as opposed to the stoic and mysterious Rosa Diaz ( Stephanie Beatriz). Among the detectives is Jake Peralta ( Andy Samberg), who frequently tops the squad in collars despite his relaxed, carefree attitude, much to the annoyance of his more by-the-book colleague, Amy Santiago ( Melissa Fumero). ![]() Set in the fictional 99th Precinct of the New York City Police Department in Brooklyn, Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows a team of detectives headed by newly appointed Captain Ray Holt ( Andre Braugher). ![]()
