Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

14. Michael Hitchcock

Though for some it may be considered sacrilege to split up Hitchcock and Scully, there can be no denying that Hitchcock is the pair's weakest character. Though, yes, they work very well together, Hitchcock doesn't have the general innocence and likability of his best friend and partner.

The problem with Hitchcock, despite his occasionally funny moments and genuinely hilarious backstory, is that on a show that prides itself on progressive representation, Hitchcock sticks out like a sore thumb.

Throughout the show, he's been portrayed as sleazy, casually sexist and creepy, spending time in the woman's bathroom, happily stripping in the office and asking inappropriate questions at the most inopportune moments.

Sure, with Scully he's a goofy mess, but away from his longtime partner he's a bit of an unnecessary contrast to the show's themes, and it can get really distracting.
