Not only is its casting diverse, but all of them are genuinely nice people in real life as well. This is a list of just some of the reasons why Brooklyn nine nine is the best sitcom out there.
It is not common in American sitcoms to see people of colour in position of high power. Brooklyn nine nine doesn’t only have a black man as a captain of the precinct but he is a gay as well.

It also has a black man as the Sergeant who is kind, a loving father and husband. No matter what we believe, media influences the way we perceive the world, and good representation is a great way of portraying healthy relationships.
