While the subject matter is heavy, Rescue Me is seldom heavy-going. It still makes times to revel in the boisterous camaraderie of its firefighters, and it still takes great advantage of one of the sexiest, funniest casts on television.
By Robert Bianco FULL REVIEW
80
The comic relief we have come to rely on in the macho camaraderie has more of a tinge of gallows humor this season, which isn't to say that Rescue Me feels like a show on its last legs, more like it's nearing its natural (or, given the frequency of Tommy's post-traumatic hallucinations, unnatural) end.
By Matt Roush FULL REVIEW

What Rescue Me has shined and polished to a high gloss, though, is those scenes of aggressive camaraderie between men. They're smart, funny and utterly realistic in terms of the ways that men relate to each other.
By Heather Havrilesky FULL REVIEW

There are no actual fires involved, and several key scenes are played in near-silence. The emotional intensity, though, rips right through the screen.
By David Hinckley FULL REVIEW

Can Rescue Me wrap all this up in the short time left? I hope so, but this episode feels like so much temporizing.
By Verne Gay FULL REVIEW

Rescue Me needs rescusing from itself and deliverance will soon come. Until then, fans of the series can enjoy the ride--even if it sometimes feels like a rerun.
By Rob Owen FULL REVIEW

After watching the first four episodes of the sixth season back-to-back--an endurance test I don’t recommend--it’s apparent Rescue Me is recycling plots.
