Twitter exploded yesterday when Fox cancelled this show and there are endless articles bemoaning the cancellation. A ton of people really love these characters. Basically convinced an entire generation that cops are good, and with 5 seasons it'll play in reruns endlessly.

You can dislike whatever. I think calling Brooklyn 99 propaganda for cops is like calling The Sopranos propaganda for gangsters. Police corruption & discrimination are common themes in the show, there's no way you can walk away from the show thinking that the police are a positive force on society. The protagonists of the show are on a liberal island.

They are the exception in the police system and frequently have that as a point of conflict. The show is definitely not something like Law & Order or NCIS where the police is portrayed as the corrective force of society.
