Everyone here, including "Oz's" Eamonn Walker as the battalion chief, is working from the same medium-grim setting, with medium-grim dialogue, which quickly drags the story and action into the still-smoldering ruins of other fire-and-rescue dramas.
Chicago Fire isn't half bad when the fires and other crises take over as the star of the show. It's after the smoke clears and the stories kick back in that you begin to realize the only way to salvage these sorry stereotypes in uniform is to burn them the only way we know how.
I really like this program. I have only two wishes. 1.please wax the trucks they are oxidized and need compound cleaning.
2. A little less personal life please.
A watchable series, specially after a long day of work when you want mind numbing content to watch. Characters are pretty generic but mildy likable. This is one of those shows you continue to watch simply to find out if anything interesting actually happens to them. (SPOILERS: nothing ever does). This is a very standard series that should only be watched if you have a deficit of other content to emmerse yourself in.
The Stella Kidd character is awful. Now they have goofy Stella Kidd tying down Kelly, making him a boring character. Rest of the show has become boring as there is less action and more romantic "in house" relationships. Just another SOAP OPERA.
They should've never taken Shay off the show, but it's still one of my favorite's. I read they had trouble with who to kill off, but Monica would've been my choice. Most of the time she's just a b**ch. If they had given her time, she could have slept with all the firefighters in the house.
