Emergency Call

Why does this show have me in tears and filled with anxiety? 😬 This is very intense knowing that these are actual calls. It takes special people to be a 911 operator. It has me on the edge of my seat. I just wish we could know the outcome on some of the emergencies. Thumbs up for me.

Y'all. As a child of a 911 dispatcher....it's all real. Ya goobers. ALSO as someone who has had to explain countless times to teachers, friends, parents, etc, what exactly a 911 dispatcher is, it's apparent no one truly understands what their role is and the capacity in which they do it. This show is AMAZING. It showcases the unseen day to day heroes that answer desperate calls for help, handle intense crimes in progress, or answer the dumbest questions you've ever heard. The show itself is well paced, there aren't any corny re-enactment scenes, it's well balanced with humor and intensity, and my boi Luke Wilson is a tad bit dramatic but THAT'S WHAT WE WANT IN A CRIME SHOW PEOPLE. YES, some of the incoming calls are re-recorded for IDK people's PRIVACY. Sorry that needs to be explained to some of you who weren't born with common sense. But not all of them are, and you are definitely seeing the dispatchers answer the calls in real time. They kind of have to remain calm and level headed at all times, so no, it's not acting, it's the JOB. Besides, half the fun is trying to figure out the real emotion from re-recorded actor emotion. 10/10 would recommend Netflix to pick this up bc I want it to stick around. And god knows no one (with common sense) watches live TV anymore.

First off I want to say to the folks saying that this is all acting and not real that it doesn't mean that it isn't intense or clearly based on real situations. Also, I personally would not want cameras to be in any real 911 call center!! I want those folks to be 100% focused on their calls!! This way you get to experience something from a distance but you get to see how these folks really help people out. There's nothing wrong with finding this interesting. I can't imagine doing these folks jobs, they are heroes!

I find this show exciting and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to those in these situations, and the people who take the calls have my utmost respect. To stay calm and professional and be able to help in these situations is truly admirable. The fact that some of the calls are reenacted doesn't take anything away from the stories that are told.

I absolutely loved the shows hope they will be coming out with more shows soon
