Jake & Amy (Set of 2 Mugs)

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the cop workplace comedy we never knew we needed but now can’t imagine our lives without it. Many great romances and friendships have come out of this show, but hands down the best relationship to root for is between Jake and Amy.

Jake and Amy’s relationship is a prime example of the old saying, that – opposites attract. How do these opposites make their relationship work? They communicate at every stage.

One of the clearest examples is in our favourite episode, “He said, she said.” In this episode, Jake and Amy are working together on a sexual assault case. Amy explains to actively listening to Jake the constant sexual harassment and discrimination that she experiences. These experiences are a result of her gender. Jake admits he never noticed, even as her husband, but he is sympathetic. As the two continue to work the case Jake notices that Amy is particularly passionate about this case, and that is when Amy tells Jake that she has been a victim of sexual assault in the past. He listens and offers her comfort. He doesn’t victim blame her or overwhelm her.
