TV Review: Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2×18) “Captain Peralta”
This week’s episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Captain Peralta” is another example of why I wish this show could add maybe five minutes to its overall running time. It was a good episode–an exceptional one for Jake’s characterization–but as it ended,…
