Why I love (and sadly relate to) the “Game Night” episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Game Night has to be one of my favourite episodes of the entire show. Season 5 as a whole was great, but this is one of the absolute highlights.
I have been openly bisexual for over a year, and honestly, I had a similar enough experience to Rosa Diaz. Especially when coming out to my parents.
The “it’s just a phase” argument her parents gave was a bit of a gut punch to me. When I came out to them, mine hit me with “you’re too young to make these kinds of decisions”. And then when I came back with my full confidence, they needed a moment.
Eventually my mom came around, but my dad wasn’t as openly supportive as her. It’s understandable from the parent’s perspective as well, some are very traditional or all of this is new to them.
I love this episode because it highlights so well how people who truly love you will support you for who you are. And the final words from Holt in this episode nearly brought me to tears because I got so much comfort from it.
It’s such a beautiful episode and makes me feel very well-represented.
