I don't understand how someone can give this show 2/3 stars, let alone one. If a reviewer says it's that bad, I wish just one of them would have stated what show currently was deserving of 8/9/10 stars....just so I could get an idea of what they find funny. I like the fact that it's sometimes over the top and soooo unlike any of the other shows, ie,...the seriousness of every other cop show out there. EVERY other cop show out there is very serious. They tackle corruption, killings, spousal abuse, drugs, etc...and the detective work involved. The only difference between every other cop show out there is that they are filmed at different locations, with different actors, and had different writers...writing about the same topics.

I think Bklyn 9-9's writing is silly, funny, and over the top. The characters mesh perfectly and I sometimes laugh almost as soon as the characters start with their retort. If you are the serious type and can't relax, do not watch the show. If you are constantly evaluating the cop tactics, how the chain of command functions, the way the uniforms look and cop jargon, do not watch the show. If you don't fall into those groups...watch the show.

It's just good fun. The acting starts off kind of cheesy, but after the first 20 minutes, it's all action after that...and pretty good. For all those out there who studied Freud as an undergrad and like deep, multi- layered, multi-faceted characters, with a lot of character development...stay home and read a good book. If you need to get your mind off your boss who might (or might not) be an _ss, your parents (or your wife) nagging you, then this is the movie for you.

Every movie can't have you in tears, or have you thinking, why were we put here on this planet, in this time, in this universe...or maybe, THIS is the parallel universe (I just blew your mind), blah, blah, blah. Bottom line is this movie will entertain you, give it a chance. It's about a man and his gun(s) getting revenge.

First, let me start by saying I love this show so far. I hate that "actual" lawyers gave it 1 star, which is like me saying that since I'm a Soldier, almost every military movie and 98% of all movies involving guns and explosions are garbage because they are not accurate. I won't even go near how they portray the military, totally screw with how the uniforms look and how they show our tactics. Nowhere near the truth! But I understand the writers are not military and there are too many little things under the hood for them to get everything right, as should lawyers when watching this show.

Watch an actual documentary on lawyers if that's what you're looking for, because this show would not have the high ratings if they showed that dull stuff. This show is light on the legalese....not to the standard of "The Practice" or "L.A. Law," but it has just enough legalese so the uninitiated stays interested, and enough excitement around the courtroom so you will love it.

The characters, the interaction between them and the plots work. Watch the first episode and if you aren't intrigued, then this obviously is not your genre. I'm only 4 shows in. It is a solid 8 so far....
