Fire Country

The actors are good but the way they fight fires is NOT accurate and you don't need to be a firefighter to notice that.

They talk while the fire gets everywhere, they are so slow. The way the rescue people doesn't make sense. You can literally see how they can release someone traped but they do some weird rescue that doesn't make sense at all. The ambulances are coming so late.

Also going to a house in fire without any mask and long hair out, we've seen in many fire fighters show that this is not how it works.

Besides that, someone with kidney disease drinks beer is the weirdest scene for me.

Casting error : Manny looks too young to be Gabriela's father. He's 48, she's 34 in real life! It's not plausible for me.

So I like the actors because they are good but the screenwriting should be really improved and collaborate with real fire fighters to write more accurate stories. Also about the other stories, the guy leaves when his sister is dead but he's in prison for 4y for trying to rob someone and he changes his name while there. The stories accuracy is like a soap, real telenovela but the actors are good so they make the inaccurate more credible with their good acting. They deserve better.

Hollywood writers seem to follow the same path. They begin a good show with lots of interesting action, but always veer off into fluff and silly dram to fill up time. A good story line with an original and little covered subject, wildland firefighting. A huge untapped potential, but ruined by the high school level melodramatic dialogue.

Viewers tune in for the fire action, not the silly high school drama. Stick to the fires. Do that and it'll run 12 seasons easy.

Keep dragging the show down with silly drama and soap opera dialog and one season tops. Writers please stick to the format that began with episode one.

Well this show won't win any Emmys, and as many other reviews note, it's usually an unrealistic melodrama. So... its clearly not for everybody.

But,if you can overlook all that, and if you (like me) hated to see Thieriot leave Seal Team, and wanted him to play that exact, same character somewhere else, then your wish was granted.

I'll hang with it for awhile, cause it can be fun & entertaining. Also, it's predictable enough so it will be easy to catch up with, even if ya miss an episode or so.

I catch up while on my exercise bike. It does help distract me from the grind. Rather watch this than the news!

Occasional subplots are ok but this show has degraded into who sleeps with who being the whole focus! If I wanted to watch that on TV, I would watch a stupid reality show or DVR a soap opera. It's a shame because the potential for a really good show about fires is out there...but not in this mess.

A couple of the actors hold their own...others aren't given the chance to move on from exhausting romances. I'm sure it's possible to come up with storylines other than who is in or out of love?

I was watching faithfully because I enjoyed Theirot's work in the past...but the plots have dug into a mired pit of emotion.

Had watched Seal Team so then watched this to see Max Theriot in something else so had pretty high hopes, it was entertaining enough, but the story was so poorly written and predictable.

The show had its moments and has good characters. It had entertaining fire fighting and rescue scenes in each episode but these were sometimes overshadowed my the consistent melodrama.

It had a lot of potential but was let down by poor writing and actors stopping in the middle of a fire to have a deep conversation got a bit tiring. Not sure if there is a season 2? If so I'd watch it but wouldn't rush. If your coming from Seal Team you'll be a bit let down.
