This is one of the best US sitcoms to come out in a long time.
The writing, style and pacing are a symphony of near perfection. It's almost like watching a live-action cartoon with its direction and cutaways.
Andre Braugher and Andy Samberg really make this show, and they are backed-up by a group of entertaining characters that get into their own scrapes along the way. Surprisingly, none of the characters are annoying. Even Gina, the most annoying, is entertaining in her own right.
It's fun to watch the initial tension provided by Andre Braugher (as Captain Holt) slowly turn into affection and loose comedy across the entire shows run.
The only downside is portions of the final season. It was written during covid and during the well known George Floyd case. This had an impact on the writing. I'm all for satire and current cultural references but it's pasted on pretty thick in places and reminds you that you're in the real world watching a TV show, instead of leaving it behind for 30 minutes of your life.
But still, a grest watch that I fully recommend.
