Unfinished.
This was one of the more lackluster 9-1-1 finales: a generally lame emergency and very few good character moments. What happens with the 20 unfinished storylines now? The resolution with Chris and Eddie's relationship? The new captain? The pacing of the second half of season 8 felt both rushed and dragging already, full of off-putting characterizations, so I suppose this finale was fitting in some ways. I thought for a moment season 8 had found its groove, but I was sadly wrong. This will probably be my last season as a dedicated watcher, as I would rather remember the show for how well-developed and interesting it used to be. Unfortunately I see 9-1-1 going the way of Dexter and Glee, lasting one or two seasons past its natural end and leaving a sour taste in past fans' mouths.
