Undercover

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is back on a new Sunday night slot, and it doesn’t take long for the series to settle back into its groove. The season premiere, entitled “Undercover,” recaptures the magic of season one, opening with Detective Peralta (Andy Samberg) ending an undercover sting operation after infiltrating the local mafia. Upon his return to the precinct, he’s quickly brought up to speed on the events of the past few months while away (the best gag comes when Boyle and Santiago arrive to the office wearing the same outfit). This is followed by Captain Holt’s generosity by allowing Jake 12 seconds to fill us in on his own highlights while covert: “I fixed a boxing match, smoked a whole cigar, found myself in a room with 12 guys all named Sal, and missed you all so very much.” And just like that, Brooklyn Nine-Nine proves once again why it is the funniest show on television.
