“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” walks one of the toughest beats on television: It’s a blue-collar comedy infused with Ivy League irony. It’s set in a precinct where low-income housing and artisanal pickle shops collide. And it’s a cop show where no one’s gotten shot.
“I’m hoping that eventually someone fires a gun,” Andy Samberg, who plays the show’s Det. Jake Peralta, told TheWrap. “I think it would be cool to actually get into serious action. But I think that’s something we have to earn. It’s a fine line because you don’t want to get too serious.”
