2 Things I’ve Learned From Brooklyn 99
I would have to say that sometimes read or watch the news-article can inspire you to learn something great. Back in 2008, during middle school, I do still remember when the first time I found a man’s name called Barrack Obama in TV news I watched. At that time I felt like I am being hypnotized by the story of Obama who became the first Colored-Man that officially running for President of The United States.
However, following the news-article these days just kinda makes my blood boil. From Economic to Political crisis is kinda the main theme that can be found recently. Luckily now, we do have Netflix. In this article, I would like to spin a yarn on how apparently a TV Series on Netflix can be an alternative, besides the news-article, for those who still want to look for a valuable lesson.
This time I wanna share one of my favorite series of all time namely Brookly 99 (B99). B99 is basically a comedy show about a cop-precinct based in Brooklyn New York USA. Despite the fact that B99 is 90% comedy and you just absolutely no need to think-hard during the show, trust me at some point you gonna realize that you can actually learn a lot. Here are some of the things that I think can be learned from this series.
1. Never Trade Your Integrity. Although Detective Jake Peralta, the main cast of Brooklyn 99, has several bad characters such as cocky and immature, one thing that for sure is not his thing: Corruption. I can recall that one of the episodes in season three reunite Det. Jake Peralta with his old friend from other precinct. In that episode, turned out that his old friend planting the drugs in an attempt to arrest the dealer. After Jake found out, he just effective-immediately caught his old friend without any doubt.
2. “Pretty Sure” Is Not Enough. “ Do you arrest someone if you’re pretty sure they’re guilty? No, Amy, you wait till you get all the facts! “ — Detective Norm Scully. For those who haven’t followed Brooklyn 99, let me give you a little bit of fact. Firstly, Det. Scully is basically the dumbest detective in the show. Secondly, the line that I quoted is actually when he was reprimanded by his colleague since he brought so many snacks during the duty just because he is not so sure about the fact that there would be enough food in the field. Even if the lesson came out from the dumbest person on the show, we can’t argue that he has actually made his point.
Well, actually there are still so many lessons that I could tell from Brooklyn 99. But since I don’t have that many times to work on it, for now, I’m just keeping it that way. However, if these articles could get some readers (well at least a hundred..) I promise to publish the others later, until then I gotta head out!
