No one can be painted with broad strokes, and to anyone accusing the show of trying to be woke, 9-1-1: Lone Star is enthusiastically nodding and smiling that yes, that is exactly what's happening. Read full review

The ensemble cast has great chemistry and falls into a rhythm quickly in the first two episodes. Read full review

Is it great TV? Maybe not, but it’s sure easy to watch, a quick hour to distract you from your problems mostly through sheer adrenaline. It’s hard to believe anyone who likes the original iteration won’t take to this one. Lowe and Tyler are more than charming enough and the supporting cast is strong too, but they’re really just cogs in the grand machine of escapist television. Read full review

9-1-1: Lone Star isn’t misbegotten: Its bones, coming as they do from its forerunner series “9-1-1,” are solid, and aspects of its conceit are sweet, if at times so utopian as to defy belief. Read full review

“Lone Star,” starring Rob Lowe, has more modest ambitions and delivers far less exciting results [than “9-1-1.”] Read full review

Sticks close to the original in tone, but, oooof, it suffers from a clunky introduction. ... The exposition is heavy-handed, the justifications for some plot twists are dubious and the dialogue often laughable. It’s just so on the nose. Read full review

The presence of Lowe and Tyler helps offset the silliness that goes on around them. Read full review

I loved how they made sure to showcase characters from all different backgrounds so, that no matter who was watching there could be a character they could relate to. The writing was stupendous, I loved how they made sure to write characters from all different backgrounds and characters with all different types of struggles and traumas and I loved how raw and emotional the writing was. The acting was outstanding especially from Liv Tyler, Sierra McClain, Ronen Rubinstein, Jim Parrack, Lyndsy Fonseca, Rob Lowe, Natacha Karam, Brett Rice, Natalie Zea, Brian Michael Smith, and Billy Burke also Barry Corbin's guest role was great. I loved this first season and it was a for sure A+ and I can not wait for next season.… Expand

This show is far superior to the original in every way because of its inclusiveness. It's hilarious that people are complaining about the show being woke as if that's a bad thing.

A good show so far! I, as a Texan, have few issues with it, because I have enough common sense to know that people that are not white, cisgendered, hetero, christians exist -- and exist in Texas!

I love the original 911 show , so i was surprised I was so disappointed with how slow this show drags along and lack of quality... First do we really need to have another cancer show right on episode one.??

Liv Tyler had some good roles in her movies like Armageddon, but for this show , she is not a good fit and they need to find a way to exit her character ASAP. Rob Lowe, who I usually love , for some reason isnt up to his usual standards either...find some characters who are enthusiastic about their roles and better written plots so we can all stay awake during the show please, I would hate to see a show with good potential become history.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, the sex scenes are way too much for this early in the evening. Don’t care if it’s homo, bi, hetero, or what. It’s too much for a show broadcast during family hours. Stop throwing highly sexualized scenes in our faces. We don’t need it to advance any subplot.

The captain’s obsession with his hair and the look was funny for a while until it wasn’t. Are we doing embedded ads for hair and skin care?

This might turn into a decent show if the writers and producers respect Texas and their traditions rather than make fun of them. The scene with the supposed old lady bigot was the worst in reverse racism.

As with 911, this show is best when the teams are out doing rescues. The garbage behind the scenes personal stories are tedious, predictable, and boring.… Expand

Look, be woke if that's what you want but maybe at least try to be subtle about it. My fiance found it laughable how heavy handed this show was with this woke mentality. Look a show virtue signaling is nothing new. But story and plot first guys. Virtue signal between the lines, at least pretend you have competent writers.
Not that it is relevant we're a mixed race couple I am definitely more conservative than my fiancee, so it's obvious I found this virtue signalling hilarious. But my fiancee is much more left than me and even she found it absolutely over the top laughable in your face virtue checklist.… Expand

This show seems obsessed with checking as many inclusivity boxes as possible. Storylines are then built around this and the characters are really just stereotypical caricatures. I really wanted to like this show but it's pushing a politically correct agenda at the expense of good stories.This show seems obsessed with checking as many inclusivity boxes as possible.
