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!
I honestly don't remember. It just kind of happened.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Thrive to spite them
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.

In looking at the episode titles/descriptions, I think I actually started liking Jake early in S2. Definitely by the trip the squad takes to the beach house.

Oh my god, Andre Braugher is a GOLDEN GIFT.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm trying to remember. I know going in I was thinking, "eh, Samberg, I don't know" (I didn't hate him, but he was not my cup of tea) but initially it was enough of an ensemble show that I didn't mind him too much and at this point I'm kinda vaguely fond of Samberg because of Peralta.
But, you know, Holt and Rosa would probably be enough for me if everyone else was garbage.

People were worried about his ability to do comedy. Hard to believe now.

I also couldn't stand Gina in S1, and now she is MY QUEEN.

Same.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Honestly, I think I started to warm up to Samberg when I learned that he married Joanna Newsom - she seemed way too cool to have settled with just anybody.
I also remember being really annoyed at hints at Jake/Amy early season 1, and now I think they are one of the cutest couples on TV.

His relationship (including the actual pre-relationship friendship) with Amy really showed Jake's growth as a character.
"eh, Samberg, I don't know" (I didn't hate him, but he was not my cup of tea)
Yeah, this was me too.
