After the Cancellation Debacle last month, I decided that this show warrants a viewing from me, and boy have I been missing out. Right now on Season 1 Episode 15, and this has been solid so far. Strangely enough, what truly sold me on the show was Episode 10, the Thanksgiving Episode. Sitcoms usually use the holiday themes to be more relaxed and perhaps as a tearjerker, but compared to the first 9 episodes, this one was firing on all cylinders. Terry Crews' obsessive eating, Peralta and Captain Holt going on a bust together with Peralta's hijinks wearing off on him(that domestic violence scene had me in tears), and in general it was such a tightly written scenario. I say that this episode sold me on it more than the previous 9 as while they had their moments, the humor was a tad too stiff for my liking, and coupled with The Office levels of S1 cringe, it did not really gel together well for what it wants to accomplish. Since EP10 though, its been smooth sailing. The antiquety show in the last episode especially was golden, Adam Sandler auction crashing and almost screwing up the bust is a memorable cameo, and is the best use of cameos since Friends, arguably. Can't wait to see the rest, 4 seasons of this is a good amount of comedy that I can enjoy.
