I'm just into the 5th season, but I couldn't wait any longer to make this thread. This is an incredible show.
The Halloween episodes, Jimmy Figgis storyline, Lt. Hawkins storyline, and Jake and Amy's relationship are some of the best TV I've ever seen. Every actor is phenomenal and perfect for their role, even Scully and Hitchcock lol.
It' legit funny, but it's not for me.

They even have positive relationships with most of the shows antagonists. It helps that although it's a comedy about Cops the focus isn't in comedy around police work. Everything is focused on relationships with characters.
The I want it that way cold opening is hilarious, whoever wrote it is a genius. Boyle's reaction to Jake and Amy's first kiss is equally great.
Every Doug Judy episode is really good. Great recurring character.
Moo Moo and Game Night were great and showcased issues that shouldn't exist at all.
I also love The Bet, USPIS (feat. Andy Bernard), Stakeout, New Captain (Bill Hader could've gotten more episodes), Hostage Situation, Cop-Con, Chasing Amy, and Two Turkeys.
Jake and Amy's wedding was great. Amy's vows are phenomenal.
"Life is unpredictable. Not everything's in our control. But as long as you're with the right people, you can handle anything. And you, Jake Peralta, are the right person for me."
Now onto Season 6.
Honeymoon was great and a solid case for Captain Holt as the best character.
Four Movements was pretty easily my least favorite episode so far though not bad at all. Is Gina really gone?
Leave it to Doug Judy to get the show back on track.
I popped at the new intro with Scully and Hitchcock.
The Therapist is another great episode. Jake's therapy session as Garrett was hilarious.
Cinco de Mayo was the best heist episode yet. How do these keep getting better?
More great episodes I didn't mention: Hitchcock & Scully, The Crime Scene, The Honeypot, and Ticking Clocks.
Return of the King was my second least favorite episode of the series. It seems like they have no clue what to do with Gina. She gets hit by a bus and comes back the next episode. She has a child with one of Boyle's cousins who literally never appeared before, and nothing else happened. She quits the 99 while being a complete jerk to Amy. Then she's an internet star who continues to ignore her friends and literally gets stabbed in the shoulder. None of this is necessarily bad (nothing on the show is even close to bad), but it's very random. I hate how she was so willing to quit.
Regardless 2 subpar episodes out of 128 is a fantastic show.
