'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' season 6 episode 8 review: Stephanie Beatriz shines as director while the show tackles the #MeToo Movement
Spoiler alert for 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' season 6 episode 8: 'He Said, She Said'
This week 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' came armed and laden with copious amounts of woke-ness to offer on the topic of burning social issues, and boy, was it a treat to witness! After tackling instances of discrimination based on gender and race, and even revolving a whole episode on police brutality, in a show about cops, the latest and eighth episode of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' indulges in portraying one of the most popular movements of our time — the #MeToo Movement. Considering cast member Terry Crews was one of the many celebrities who very publicly came out about their harrowing experience with sexual abuse, the show addressing the disgraceful issue seemed inevitable, frankly.
But what we weren't expecting was the nuanced depiction of the topic through the angle of not only the victim's trauma but also what the repercussions coming out about the allegations publicly does to the victim's future. All of that in just a 22-minute episode!
