Brooklyn Nine-Nine

TV show · 2013

This report covers the full series run (Seasons 1–8, 2013–2021). Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a workplace comedy set in an NYPD precinct, full of slapstick and warm ensemble relationships, but its TV-14 rating reflects a steady current of adult sexual humor, mild profanity, on-screen guns, and crime-related themes that sit well above what most young children are ready for.

Best enjoyed by teens 13 and up, or confident tweens around 12 with a parent nearby to field questions.
