Rec. #621: Representation Matters on Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Brooklyn Nine-Nine Week continues ...


 
 

What: Brooklyn Nine-Nine stars two (2!) black men (who don't rap) and two (2!) Latinas (who aren't "sassy"). Also, pretty much every episode passes the Bechdel test easily.

The creators have been quoted as saying that they wanted the cast to accurately reflect NYC demographics. We'd hope that this wouldn't be such a big deal by now, but it really is.

How to get it: Stream the show on Hulu and maybe try to make a drinking game out of how many times someone who isn't a white dude gets to talk! You will get very drunk.
