Vortex is me. Want to like the show; can't stand the lead.
Man, just ascend already.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
He won me over.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It was rocky at the beginning of the show, but I think they figured out how to use him better and how Jake fit into everything.

For those of us who have found ourselves now fond of Jake Peralta, what was your moment where you realized, hey! I don't hate him!

Cereal: he really did go from "I'm watching despite him" to "I'm watching in part for him" over the years.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I couldn't cite the turning point but I know I was hesitant to watch with him as the lead.
Then I remembered I liked his low key presence in I Love You, Man. And as I watched I really loved the way they wrote his character.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

There are times when I still cringe at Peralta but I like the rest of the cast. S I've rewatched some and The character has gotten less cringey

I feel like it was a gradual transformation of the Jake Peralta character, and looking back at it now, it was a beautiful thing. Even if Sandburg stayed annoying, I swear Andre Braugher is worth the pain.
