Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been cancelled. The internet reacts.
The internet has spoken. And people are not happy that Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been cancelled after five seasons. These were some of the best reactions from the internet.
[Update: Since the time of publishing, NBC has picked the show up – just hours after Fox announced they were not renewing it. Apparently the network had been eyeing it for some time. So we haven’t seen the last of Jake Peralta and co!]
This fan was in for the long term.
