About This Quiz

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" showed up in 2013 as a fun twist on the police procedurals that are all over the TV landscape. It featured a squad of detectives solving cases but also being hilarious and had a diverse cast of performers.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" quickly became a standout with memorable cold opens and a history of recurring gags and distinct characters. And then the unthinkable happened. It was canceled. But just when it seemed like all hope was lost, NBC resurrected it, and now it's going strong again on a brand new network with the same great humor.

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is one of those shows where you feel like you could be a part of the action. Everyone is fun and likable, and who wouldn't want to be a part of the squad? But you need to find a place where you'd fit in. And that's what we're here to do.

Do you have the curiosity and tenacity of a detective like Jake Peralta? Can you keep the team motivated and on-track like Amy. Do you know where everything goes and what everyone does like Gina? Or are you at the top of the heap overseeing all like Captain Holt? Take the quiz and find out!
