Hi! First of all, this is going to be the longest review I’ve ever posted and very descriptive so if you’re looking for an honest review from a 16 year old girl, then here. To me, this is a 10/5 star show (if that was possible.) I first found B99 back in April of 2022 on netflix and I’d heard of it but never tried to watch it. Since then, I’ve watched it 3 times and I’m considering a 4th time. Hands down, THE BEST SHOW made for several reasons. I gotta admit, it takes a few episodes to understand the characters and “layout” of how each episode goes but you will. Okay so number one, every single character has something relatable about them, and I mean every character!! You’re prone to like someone in the show which I think is great. They showcase a wide variety of personalities (especially Gina Linetti) and that’s what makes it so interesting. Number 2, the creators did an incredible job with representation and diversity with their casting. Stephanie and Melissa who play Rosa and Amy are both lovely and talented Latina women and Andre and Terry are African-American! It’s so great to see. Number 3 is the show tackles several issues and problems people face today and they do it really well. Racism, sexual-assault, facing homophobia, infertility, abuse and more. Some comedic shows are NEVER serious and it’s always just laughs and jokes but it’s good to see this in a show like B99. People are seen and recognized and that’s really good. I specifically appreciate Rosa Diaz’s storyline in season 5 as she came out as bisexual. As someone in the LGBTQ+ community, having a bisexual character and a bi actor (Stephanie Beatriz) means so much. Raymond Holt is gay too so there’s even more representation! B99 doesn’t just brush past these aspects either, they spread it out across the show. Anyways, another thing I REALLY love is how each episode is so entertaining. I can’t think of one episode I don’t like, each has something funny about it. There tends to be three different things happening in one episode as I’ve noticed and the creators did a good job with making sure it’s not hard to follow along with. There’s so many different stories followed through out the show and it’s so exciting as viewers to see them progress. This is getting excessive but I also wanted to mention how SEVERAL people complained about season 8 in this review section, and tbh, I’m not sure why?? I found season 8 really good and I think it’s important for them to speak up about George Floyd and the issues faced in 2020. People find stuff to complain about but I’m being 100% honest, the season is amazing. I could go on and on but if someone actually read this / found it helpful please lmk! WATCH B99, I beg of you!!
