The #MeToo social media phenomenon just jumped to an unlikely new medium – TV comedy
After watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s #MeToo episode, We Are Social’s Suzie Shaw realised how far the movement really has come.
The most recent #MeToo episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine (B99) is a brilliant piece of television and demonstrates just how far we’ve come since October 2017, when Harvey Weinstein’s dirty laundry was first aired. It takes a big swing at the whole tawdry topic, and knocks it out of the park.
For non-fans of B99 (shame on you), it’s a sitcom set in a Brooklyn police station. The main characters are cops Jake and Amy, who are partnered in work and now life… following a protracted and hilarious courtship.
In this most recent episode, they’re handed a ‘he said, she said’ (title of the episode) case to investigate, with a finance bro getting his ‘dong broken’ after he’s attacked by a female co-worker who claims that he tried to sexually assault her.
