How do I like this series *-* I like that the characters are developed, their lives are shown outside of work and they show that even the bravest rescuers have their fears. I like that all the challenges are interesting, and it really scares me that such situations occur in real life.
The only thing is, don't bring Abby and Evan (Buck) together, please. I don't see them together at all, they have an age difference of about 25 years, she's old enough to be his mother, imho.
@amyponds: I wrote about the difference of 25 years, because akris is 50 years old, and the actor is 26. I haven't heard about 42, to be honest, but okay, let Abby be 42, but Evan is clearly no more than 25. That is, the age difference is about 17 years somewhere. In any case, it is, firstly, a lot, and secondly, they do not look together (all the last sentence is huge imho, taste and color with:)
@Luizot: she's so cool that I'd want to be friends with her right away, too. Besides, she saw that she was really trying to help, and not like the last one - she was late and sitting in the phone.
Buck and Abi have a maximum difference of 14-15 years. She is 43 years old, she talks about it at the beginning of the first series. He is about 30, most likely 28 years old. I don't think he's younger. I'm looking at his complexion, training and service. So with age, it's not so scary. The scary thing is that Abi really doesn't suit him. But then how will the screenwriters decide. Next, the situation with the policeman and her daughter, I also absolutely agree that this is not the way to end the series.
What difference does it make how old the actors are. Everyone is talking about the characters here. And they won't bring them together. It's already clear that they talk on the phone and will communicate. And they will meet in person. About the daughter in general tin...
the series has already started perfectly.. The fakboy on the ride asks the chubby guy to hold out his hand.. How was he going to hold him for her? a heavy guy for a wet palm, probably from fear? cops, medics and firefighters are having lunch at the fire station.. all in one form. ....in short, here you can continue to describe everything that bombs as you watch, but this is too much) and here everything seems to be clear already. It's like Vanhelsing.. you seem to understand what the hell is going on, but!Inexplicably! you keep watching))))) and if there you can justify yourself by wanting to know what the matter is going to end, then here ...)))
@oliverwilde: they don't have the same shape. The firefighters have blue, and the cops have black. The icons are different and the cut is also slightly different. The main place of action is the fire station, and the cop went there only once just out of friendship. There are technically no doctors there at all: That bald girl is from the fire brigade, the ambulance—type car is also theirs. Because those whom we usually call firefighters are actually more correctly called rescuers — they help in a variety of situations and, of course, they should be able to provide first aid and have the appropriate equipment for this.
@oliverwilde: He kind of asked the fat man to reach out and put his hand in the insurance that was hanging out there. And when the fat man refused, Buck tried to persuade him to just give him a hand - maybe he thought it would be psychologically easier to reach for someone else's hand, and then Buck would throw on this insurance himself. Well, the Tank was strapped in, if anything.
@oliverwilde: I actually thought that the Tank on the insurance would come down and tie the fat man. It's kind of stupid to ask a person to hold out his hand when he's holding onto a piece of iron with these very hands.
The firefighter extinguishes the fire, but then suddenly his phone rings, he turns off the water, takes off his helmet and answers the call... And he's not wearing gloves. But at least in a protective uniform, and not in a short-sleeved shirt. P - Progress.
When I remember that I was outraged, as in the TV series "Smoke", the sliding ladder was not installed by four people, as it should be, and in the Chicago Fire Department no one checks the pressure in the cylinders of those who enter a burning building, it all seems so small to me. Here they work without cylinders at all. And without masks. And without gloves.
It was not shown that there was a direct fire there, they could have already worked out the call and were going to leave to check the equipment, etc...
Here's a situation where a lifeguard asked a guy to hold out his hand, it's absurd. It's very difficult. You hold on to your only chance to survive with all your hands, even if they tell you, "here, stretch out, we'll put on a belt so you can hold on." Nonsense. It would be more correct to fix it hanging there, help it hold on, and not unhook it. I was cheerful somehow at a relatively high altitude, after your hands become numb and sweaty, and there is no one to help, a very clear thought creeps into your brain that it is easier to let go, that the chance of survival is not so small and you will definitely get it.
This series is somehow better. The characters were revealed. I hope the others are not "furniture". Because so far the whole focus is literally on 3 people: Abby, Buck, Athena. They told us a little bit about the captain, but it was also very general. The Abbey-Buck pair is an interesting find.
The psychiator is not very "successful" - I remember three series with her and they all ended on the same season: The Last Resort, The Whispers, Salvation. The Arrangement was extended with her. It's still confusing that there are only 4 firefighters - well, according to Chicago Firefighters, we know that there are more people in one truck, plus rescuers, paramedics, a tank...
@ZohanDvir: Well, "Chicago Firefighters" should not be taken as a standard of truthfulness. They also have enough mistakes, although they shoot side by side with real firefighters. Angel was shown, but his team was not shown. Perhaps they want to focus only on a couple of heroes, since there are several services here. And there is unlikely to be a squad, because they have only three cars in the garage - an engin, a truck and an ambulance.
Advantages of the series. 1. At the beginning of the episode, I wanted to go back to watching Chicago Firefighters 2. By the end of the series, I realized that it was better to review the "Third Shift". Now about what was bad. And suddenly almost everything was bad, except that it was so bad that it was funny. Actually, the beginning, an experienced commander sends an inexperienced firefighter (not a rescuer, who are taken from already experienced firefighters) in a difficult case and he of course fails. Naturally, this firefighter goes to the funeral of the victim, and not to a psychologist. Meanwhile, a policeman who has worked for a lot of years in the police does not even ask the person in the house if this is his house. Oh wait, the firefighter didn't even know there were psychologists until the commander gave him a business card. Then I wanted to stick the Brazzers logo on the whole stage, at least it would be funny. And then they didn't show how they save the window cleaner, they're right, they're doing a series about people, not about rescuers. And of course the Negro is a thief who cannot jump over the fence. But this is not the main thing in the series, the main thing is a gay drama (and even if it were not gay, but ordinary, the second series to trash this topic, and the characters are almost unfamiliar). And also half of the series we look at the drama of the character Kony Briton, who did not even get to work. In general, that's it. There is no point in looking further.
@katiuska2h: you can't imagine how nice it is to read your reviews, guys)) in general, it is surprising that there is so little criticism, but some kind of blind adoration.
@Denton: here's about the desire to return to watching "Firefighters..." they took it off the tongue and this despite the fact that I quit after the second season. I was hoping for this series as an alternative in terms of the working moments of such services, but something is still somehow not impressive, and the concentration is more on interpersonal. Except that Abby's work is still catching on.
It's a cliche when something happens to someone close to the main characters. Yes, it adds some realism, they say they are also people and they also have problems, but it is so predictable.
Gods, what a horror. As they say over the hill - it is from dishasting. The word is very precise. In my review of the pilot, I predicted that in the second series they would continue to defame and insult the professions of firefighters, rescuers and police officers. It's so disgusting that it splashes over the edge. The scene with the psychiatrist caused bouts of nausea: how can such an allegedly experienced psychiatrist get involved in news reports, add a certain firefighter to friends (this is already unprofessionalism!), and then also not hold back at the session?! What the fuck was that??!! She said herself that she often works with people of the same profession, so does she have everyone? A nymphomaniac doctor?! If it's not offensive, it's at least disgusting. The rescues are shown very badly again. Buck's experiences were exaggerated and poorly played, and the situation was resolved in an incredibly short time, even if we imagine that we were shown 2-3 shifts. The boss admits an unstable novice to difficult tasks. (A small plus in all this is a really cool rescue of a jumper with a cheating wife)
They came up with a pretty strong drama for a patrolwoman, it's really tough with her daughter, but her line of duty is a nightmare. A cop who did not check the name of the owner of the house, documents, dog collars (there are data and address), did not check the dog chips (and almost everyone is chipped in America), left a person alone in the house - such nonsense cannot even be imagined. All possible protocols and rules have been violated!!! Only one plot line remains interesting - the story of Abby, the 911 operator, although it somewhat spoils the connection with the Tank. Not really, though. The story of how they helped each other by talking on the phone. and they supported me - this is a good moment, but no more. I watched the filmography of Connie Britton - a very pleasant woman, it's a pity, there are catastrophically few decent roles. Result. I still insist that this series was not worthy of an extension for a second season, especially for the first two episodes. The characters arouse contempt and bewilderment by their behavior. Even some good actors don't save the situation.
The creators, apparently, expected that their "creation" would cause some kind of resonance. I'm disappointed. I don't see the development of the characters, I see the degradation and humiliation of the dignity of people wearing uniforms.
@Oliverell22: Yeah, all firefighters, police officers, paramedics, doctors are robots, act according to instructions, don't have any feelings, don't make mistakes, and so on.
@kotonog: I came in just because of that. At first I thought that the "jumper" was playing his madama according to the plot, so clearly the insurance was sticking out.
at the beginning of the episode, when that dude was falling, they showed the rails behind him, and the next second he was already lying on the ground. How did he magically fly through them? the distance between the rails themselves is not so big that a guy of such a build could get in there.
@ZukoZero: well, tell me, how can you talk about character templates after watching only 2 episodes and not knowing how their stories will be told to us further?
nonsense on nonsense. the situation with the dogs, the situation with the therapist. How did the window cleaner's rescue end? Or did I miss it? It took a relatively long time to show two lawyer girls, but for what? sending a beginner up to the attraction is also a so-so solution , well, in short, I don't know
@helggaolgga: That's the point of the series. we don't always know how 9-1-1 calls end. The window cleaner situation shows us that Buck still hasn't recovered from the incident with the dead guy.
>>sending a beginner up to the attraction is also a so-so solution and how will a beginner learn if you leave him on the ground all the time? Moreover, Buck is the youngest and most agile of the rescuers. and if you did watch the episode, you should have found out that the guy was depressed and he made his choice.
This series is much worse than the previous one. Firstly, why do they never put a life-saving trampoline (xs, as it is called) under a person hanging at a height. That fat man could have been saved for sure. Secondly, there are some vile pretentious images: both this policeman's husband and this 50-year-old's boyfriend from 25.
@ZerooBatS: That fat one fell between the rails of the roller coaster. It is not possible to deploy a rescue trampoline everywhere. And more often than not, there's just no time for it. The lifeguard will get up faster and lower the person with the insurance.
And that's what catches me, that we see only part of the whole story, but only this challenge. As Abby said in the first episode, the worst part is that at some point they hit "hang up" and you still don't know how the story ended.
It doesn't matter how old Abby and Buck are. The 21st century is in the yard) It's okay, age doesn't matter when both are adults. If the age difference was in the opposite direction and the woman would be younger by such a period, nothing would bother anyone)
@Ragnalstan: Abby is still going through a tough breakup. She's also very insecure. I have to take care of sick matter, and the work is also very nervous. She only noticed Buck because he was the first person to thank her for her work. And in general, he told me how it all ended there. And Baku just needs a friend right now. And this is a pretty good decision on his part. He has already realized his problem and will try to solve it. He asked about the age without having anything like that. Buck is quite naive and straightforward.
Initially, in the presence of all these procedural series, it is not worth believing in what is happening there. After all, most often investigations or other actions, rescue and so on, are not important here. And even the synopsis talks about personal problems. Otherwise, the drama is normal and so far it's not worth cutting anything out.
Athena is simply gorgeous. The scene with the capture of the burglar is the cherry on the cake of this series. Oh yes, Carla is just a sweetheart <3 I love her very much.
it would be cool if they showed that the windows in the office building were mirrored from the outside, and the cleaner could not see the girls, and when he took pictures, he took selfies in the mirrored surface. and at first I actually thought that he had this injury, because of which his face is stretched in a smile all the time. if you look closely, in the first seconds of his appearance, you can see that this is not the case, you just wanted something unexpected and unusual)
I like that the characters are developed, their lives are shown outside of work and they show that even the bravest rescuers have their fears.

the series is amazing, it's a pity so few episodes have been announced
Somehow they quickly turned into girlfriends.
cops, medics and firefighters are having lunch at the fire station.. all in one form.

I love her very much.
It's a very interesting move with Buck and Abby. It's intriguing. I wonder what will happen next
And Athena's family situation is not easy, the creators take on difficult issues, it's great. The question is how they will develop them further.
