With the best opening scene in Brooklyn nine-nine history they've managed to make this episode so average, very sad.

We can all agree that the Cold Open is probably one of the most memorable and iconic of the entire series. However, I saw several comments saying that the episode was not good, which rather surprised me, since I really enjoyed it.

Indeed, I really like when the episodes go outside the ordinary frame of the series, in this case, when the characters are not solving crimes or investigating. So I have to say that taking an interest in Jake's family pleased me a lot, and that it was a brilliant idea, even if other series have already tried the case. The story followed well, I liked the fact that there is a contrast between the two characters, knowing that Kate is rather delinquent, and that Jake is part of the NYPD. This story had a good ration of jokes, and it flowed well.

If we talk about the secondary stories, I would say that the two were not great, but they complemented each other well. On the one hand, the B-plot with Holt, Terry and Charles had a rather interesting story to follow, without a lot of jokes, whereas the C-plot was more joke-oriented, with a story being less memorable.

In short, I would say that this episode is still well done. The main story manages to juggle the jokes and the story well, making it all interesting to watch, while the two side stories, together, manage to entertain the viewer quite well. Without forgetting to mention, once again, that this Cold Open is simply unforgettable and cult!

The episode as a whole isn't the strongest of the season but that's irrelevant as the opening scene before the credits is quite possibly the funniest comedy scene of recent times! Watch it!!

This episodes cold open is one of my favorites of the entire show.

Best cold open of the show, maybe in TV history lol. Rest of the episode was like a 7, but the cold open makes me rate this a 10!

That Cold Open Alone Was 10/10 . Rest of the episode was nice . But Just For That Open And Charles Lifting Terry. This Episode Was Perfect For Me.

I Don't Give High Ratings And Reviews Easily But That Open Was Worth Watching Million Times.

I had to rewatch the episode because I couldn't see it all from laughing too hard

The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way

TELL ME WHY Ain't nothin but a heartache TELL ME WHY Aint nothing but a mistake Now number five I never wanna here you say I want it that waaaayyy.

This episode has my favorite intro of the whole series. Originally gave an 8 but continued to watch and got reminder that I didn't really like the rest of the episode. But again awesome opening sequence.

Nashim who played Jake's sister is just annoying as hell in this episode. Her loud screeching voice got stuck in my head and it gives a cringe. I'm not quite sure whether to blame the script or her acting. She was pretty relatable in Scream Queen although that show also has a super over-the-top story line. I love 99 especially when the story goes nuts, but the main part kinda killed the side stories in this episode. Great opening though.

My fire the one desire believe when i say i want it that way when we are two worlds apart and reach to your heart and you say i want it that way tell me why ain't nothing but a heart ache tell me why ain't nothing but a mistake nOw NuMbEr 5.
