Psych and Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Alright. Psych is my absolute favourite series for many, many reasons. It was there in my good days, in my bad days. Comfort food absolute.
I recently and finally started Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I absolutely love it as well. But I think part of it is how much of Shawn Spencer I see in Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg).
Anyone else see it? It's really striking to me. If you like either of these series I really highly recommend checking out the other one.
I think Amy and Jake together makeup Spencer, splitting the goofiness and brains into two characters works really well in 99. I didn't watch Psych when it aired so don't have the associated nostalgia, but I kind of found Spencer a bit too perfect and it got a bit tiresome to watch, eventually dropped it when the Spencer-O'Hara flirting gets serious.
I'm not quite seeing it in Amy. Amy is more Juliet to me. And I'm only in s1 so far but there's clearly some romantic tension between the two already.
I get what you mean about Spencer being too perfect. I really appreciate that in Nine-Nine they actually often let the characters make mistakes, and things don't always turn out well.
I was just thinking about how similar they are the other day. Also highly recommend both to anybody interested in either.
Psych was fantastic, I really hope they keep doing the movies
There's one more movie being filmed right now but personally I hope they stop before it gets bad. I would be heartbroken if psych overstays its welcome.
