'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' set to mine #MeToo movement for an episode

As the topic trends more each day, the writers of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' are trying to get the plotlines right in order to present the sensitive issue in a proper way.

After the resurrection of 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' by NBC following its cancellation by Fox in May, executive producer Dan Goor at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour on Wednesday indicated that Season 6 will have "more topical, issue-oriented episodes" and might also include an episode based on the #MeToo movement. Explainig that issue-based episodes are hard to carry off, Goor said, "We want them to feel funny but also give weight to the issue and explore it in a fair way.”

The series exploring a topic as sensitive as #MeToo may be considered a follow up to Terry Crews' allegation against VME talent agent Adam Venit, who apparently groped Terry at a party.
