Why Didn't I Watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine Sooner And Why Aren't You Watching It Now?

No, but seriously, what took me so long?

I am one of those people that won't watch a show for a long time if someone recommends it to me. I'll take even longer to watch it if it gets recommended to me more than once. I did that with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and have so many regrets that I didn't hop onto the bandwagon sooner. Here are a few reasons why you should watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine if you're hesitant.

1. It has a diverse cast.

Shoutout to Brooklyn 99 for showing a diverse workplace and giving minorities a chance to star in a show that is important to so many people.

2. It talks a lot about representation.

Captain Holt happens to be black and gay, something he is not ashamed of. In fact, he becomes a big inspiration for a lot of black and lgbtq people who hope to be cops someday, showing representation matters.

3. Peralta and Santiago are one of the best ships ever.

This isn't a spoiler because you can tell their destined to be together from the start, but even their evolving friendship is really sweet and very fun to follow along with.

4. Charles Boyle, enough said.

Boyle is so sweet and loveable and you can tell that from the very first episode. It's fun to watch him go from a character mostly there for comic relief, to a relatable softy. I think he has to be one of my favorite parts of the show.

5. It has a group of really quirky secondary cast members that you'll grow to appreciate.

Hitchcock and Scully are a dream team of comedy and are sure to get you close to peeing their pants with their antics and funny quirks. I also really love Gina and find her annoying and amazing all at the same time.

So, take it from someone who hates being told to watch shows and go watch this show. You won't regret it.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
