Another incredibly funny and entertaining episode from the 99 that had me laughing from the first second on. The Cold-open was perfectly silly and has me hoping for more Cold-Opens like this one: funny and mostly unrelated to the episode. Both the main story-line (the introduction of Amy's brother, Jake and Amy solving a case with him) and the secondary story-line (Charles and the Squad trying to get a suspect to confess) both worked very well, infact the B-plot is the best B-plot of this season so far. Lin-Manuel Miranda worked great as a guest star and I would love to see him back on the show. Overall "The Golden Child" is an episode that showed the 99 at ist best and it truely did not deserve the low ratings.
One last thought: Andy Samberg should DEFINITELY Play King George III in Hamilton. He obviously worked well with Lin-Manuel Miranda in this episode and I am sure that he would rock it.
