While the first episode of the night, “PB&J”, felt like the weakest showing of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s final season, S8E6 “The Set Up” finds the show roaring back in full force with one of its strongest episodes yet—and, as we’ll see, one of the most uncomfortably real ones from the show’s entire run.
