The Nine-Nine is back. And it doesn't look quite the same.

. And it wastes no time in adapting its tone for a post-2020 era.

The series picks up with a glimpse at the 99th precinct in June 2020, when everyone is wearing masks and Jake and Charles have invented a socially distanced high-five. The antics end when Rosa announces she has resigned from the police force. As Jake and Rosa look into the case of a Black woman who was assaulted by police officers for refusing to let them search her shopping bag, Jake's eternal optimism butts up against the harsh reality of the systems that protect officers from consequences. The pair runs up against a stonewalling, racist union rep who won't let them talk to the one witness of the assault.

It was smart of the writers to put Jake and Rosa at the center of the episode. Their relationship is among the most nuanced in the series. Their conflict is not unlike others they've had over other ideological differences. At the end of the half-hour, things are still a bit strained between the friends, but Jake has an understanding he lacked before.
