The main leads include Detective Jake Peralta a “child trapped in a man’s body”, alongside Amy Santiago an officer who is all brains, with a robotically determined yet sarcastic Captain Holt. Other significant characters include the gentle giant Sergeant Terry, the hopeless romantic Charles, and the intimidating Rosa all of who make the show a hilarious and heartwarming take on police life and crime-solving.
As a crime comedy show, there is no one story and no major crime. It is more about the characters, however, each episode is an adventure for its audience.
