Brooklyn Nine-Nine is an American sitcom which revolves around a team of detectives and their newly appointed captain in the fictional 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn. The general setup of the show is a new case each week with a story building up in the background.

There’s Captain Holt and his husband Kevin who are a long-term happily married couple who do nothing if not loving and supporting each other. There’s Amy and Captain Holt who develop a mentorship relationship they are both dedicated to.
