Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) has retired to Brazil and dials in via video call, while his good friend Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) is as ailed and easy to please as ever. Meanwhile, Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) has grown so disenfranchised with the police that she becomes a private investigator in between seasons, electing to pursue justice outside the bounds of a corrupt system. There isn’t as much of a focus on Terry (Terry Crews) this year – it would have been nice to have his family feature one last time, or indeed for us to know them better as individuals – although there is a whole episode devoted to Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) and his extended family in ‘Game of Boyles’, a Knives Out pastiche that introduces another significant revelation. For his part, Jake is coming to terms with the possibility that he might be part of the problem with the police in exacerbating injustice such a realisation shows just how far the character has come from immature detective to responsible and socially conscious parent.

In its eighth and final season, Brooklyn Nine-Nine deliberately grounds itself in a specific time period (present-day 2021) in a way that previous seasons never did so overtly, tackling head-on ideas around police reform that have come to light publicly in the wake of Black Lives Matter protests, and also referencing the COVID-19 pandemic.
