Whether it is Detective Jake Peralta’s daily clashes with Captain Ray Holt or the intimidating Detective Rosa Diaz’s incredibly dark yet humorous personality, the show ensures each character is developed thoroughly. Other standouts include the gentle giant Sergeant Terry Jeffords, the controlling and overachieving perfectionist Amy Santiago, the cynical and lazy Gina Linetti, and the hungry duo Hitchcock & Scully.
