TV Review: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Episode 2.06, “Jake and Sophia”

This week on Brooklyn Nine-Nine: a celebration of women in power. First and most significant, we have Amy Santiago stepping up to become the precinct’s union rep after enduring some pretty heavy duty cajoling from both Diaz and Holt. Second and more likely to take up screen time, the budding romance between Peralta and Sophia (Eva Longoria)—not simply a love interest for our hero, but also his adversary at trial. The episode title tells you the A-plot right away, and indeed, the courtroom back and forth between Samberg and Longoria does take up the lion’s share of “Jake and Sophia.” – Via Paste Magazine
