10 Things You Learn Re-Watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine

We first meet Jake Peralta as a complete man-child with no concept of how to function in adult life.

As much as there's a focus on his childishness, the show puts equal emphasis on his development. Given the previous item on this list, odds are you either noticed one or the other, but the way the writers handle Jake as a character is incredibly clever.

Basically, the more he grows, the more he stays the same.

If you were caught up in watching his development, you might have missed just how silly he continues to be. So many storylines revolve around Jake growing as a person, but they're still mixed with the same childish sense of humour and wonder. Maybe he has confronted his issues with his father, and maybe he has managed to build a strong and incredibly sweet relationship with Santiago, but he's still the Jake we fell in love with when he first hit our screens.

He'll always be the human equivalent of an excited puppy, albeit one that quotes Die Hard and catches an awful lot of bad guys.
