Worst of all, season eight of 99 commits the most egregious act a show that professes to be a comedy can commit: it's not funny." Hitchcock & Scully" is the second episode of the sixth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 114th overall episode of the series. The show's entire cast and production staff should be embarrassed they resorted to a narrow, politicized and biased approach to addressing policing issues America. Being chastised by a television show that frames the problems of society in a bizarre one-sided view that dismisses any faults of the parties engaging with the police is incredibly off-putting. In an about face, season 8 starts off with dismissing the entire police system and blaming it as corrupt and the reason for any injustice happening anywhere on the planet. In the early seasons the show cleverly wove comedy and social commentary together in a seam-less blend that encouraged the viewer to think about social issues from perhaps a different perspective. 99 was already on thin-ice because of similar episodes in the past that cast aside any comedic-facade and instead decide to flat out tell the audience if they don't think a certain way they are the problem.
