10 Best Brooklyn Nine-Nine Episodes

10. Johnny And Dora

Brooklyn Nine-Nine - like many other sitcoms - involves an awkward love angle between two of its leads. This is something that has been seen in virtually every other comedy series, so it's rare for it to feel fresh. However, the dynamic between Amy and Jake is very well pulled off, as the awkward dancing around their romance mostly remains confined to one episode - that being Johnny and Dora.

In this outing, we see Jake confess his romantic interest to Amy Santiago in the opening moments, but they both remain hesitant about admitting any feelings. As the episode progresses, they work a case together and end up pretending to be a couple to keep their cover safe. Unfortunately for them, this forces all of the awkward tension to the forefront of their investigation.

Melissa Fumero and Andy Samberg have solid chemistry, and that comes across particularly well in this episode. The climactic moments feel incredibly satisfying and carry the chapter toward being one of the best.

In addition to the love dynamic, there are two exciting side stories centred on the other members of the precinct, with the final reveal of Holt's departure from the Nine-Nine being a pivotal moment for the show.
