'Brooklyn Nine-Nine': Jake Peralta's 'toit' character development is a wholesome, exemplary journey to witness

From a man whose only reaction to emotional discourse was 'noice' and 'smort,' Andy Samberg's Jake Peralta grew to be an exceptional fiance and a comforting confidant

I have said it once, and I'll say it again in case it wasn't entirely clear the first time: Detective Jake Peralta invented character development and must be protected at all costs. Now, some might question this passionate advocating for a fictional character from TV, but then again, Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) from NBC's hit comedy 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' isn't just any other fictional character we see from mainstream Hollywood.

True, he is a white, straight, male lead of a comedy based in Brooklyn, New York, but what he also happens to be is a part of one of the most diverse and progressive shows of all times which has given their characters this incredible ability and scope to climb the ladder of development, character-wise, and it's nothing short of remarkable how he did that.
