Brooklyn Nine-Nine

2013–2021 · TV — Season 1-8 · Comedy, Crime

Across all eight seasons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is one of the most sustained examples of relational masculinity in mainstream American television. All four main male characters, even supporting duo Hitchcock and Scully in their comic way, consistently model emotional expression, caregiving, collaboration, and friendship as central to their identities. The series also engages more directly with the costs of dominant masculinity than almost any other network comedy.
