Golden Globe winner Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a situational comedy show about the detectives of Brooklyn's 99th Precinct when a rule-following, outwardly unemotional, and highly decorated NYPD Captain Raymond Holt takes charge. Under new leadership, the offbeat albeit talented detectives must get their act together–some more happily than others.
Like most sitcoms, each Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode presents a self-contained story contributing to character development and relationship dynamics. Consequently, what makes Brooklyn Nine-Nine so unique isn't the part where they bust the bad guys but rather about the people doing the busting! And set against a grim backdrop of a police precinct where things don't usually go as planned, Brooklyn Nine-Nine reminds us that with the right people by our side and a sense of humor, we can handle anything!

To identify Brooklyn Nine-Nine's most iconic duo, I analyzed each episode’s official and unofficial descriptions to pinpoint which characters have been grouped together. Some of the more obvious ones are Jake and Captain Holt or Jake and Amy, but there have been top-rated episodes with Charles and Amy paired together or even Terry and Rosa! The question is, how many episodes are these characters paired together in, and how popular was the episode?
