What BollyAI Thinks
Season 6 is the first NBC season and feels slightly adjusted for the new home. The shorter episode count (18 vs 22) is well used, and the show maintains its creative identity. The season does not quite reach the Season 5 peak, but it still stands among the best comedies on television. Rosa’s coming out is handled with the show’s characteristic mix of honesty and wit.

Full review of E4 → - E5A Tale of Two Bandits
S06E05 uses a case to test who gets to be “right” versus who chooses to be decent, and the laughs stay tethered to consequences.

Full review of E7 → - E8He Said, She Said
BollyAI’s read: S6E8 uses procedural mechanics as character pressure, landing laughs that reveal loyalties, even if the middle stretches.

This hour turns procedure into comedy, then uses the case to expose who really wanted control.

“Lumpy Money” uses a petty money plot as an ethics workout, and Holt’s fairness turns sitcom mischief into earned accountability.

A mostly crisp Holt-versus-precinct test where procedure becomes comedy, then accountability, then teamwork.
Full review of E15 → - E16Cinco de Mayo
An ensemble-pressure case where procedure becomes character writing, even when the plot rushes one beat it could have earned.

Season Over Season
Season 6 is a modest step down from Season 5 - still very good, the NBC transition better-handled than feared.
