9-1-1: Lone Star

First, there is no way you would cross scrubby desert when traveling from New York to Austin. You would come by interstate highway thru the DFW metroplex and down I35 for 4 hours of traffic and towns to get to Austin. No desolate roads!

Also, yes we have accents, very different in different parts of the state, but Austin is more Matthew McConaughey sounding than what was portrayed.

Good show, but please get your details right!

I enjoy all the characters they brought together. I don't care that the show has "one of each" as other people have written. It's a tv show and it's entertaining. There's comedy,sadness,some OMG moments,some mystery,and comradery and romance. So maybe the firefighting is not "by the books", but we're not watching it to become firefighters. It might not be as drama filled as the original 911,which I thoroughly enjoy and can't wait to see the new episodes, but it gets my mind off the long work day. Makes me laugh. And don't pick on the dyslexic firefighter. There are more real people in this world that need alternative ways to learn because reading is difficult for them and a written test almost impossible to pass. That doesn't mean they can't learn what they need to know to do a job like firefighting. I myself prefer to see how to do something than just read about it.

Sure, it's soapy, but what show like this isn't to one degree or another. Reviewers compare it to the original very fine 911, which is also soapy and can have some weak and lame dialogue along with plenty of wooden acting. I looked through a lot of reviews and one common theme among many of them are a disdain for "Hollywood morals," political correctness, the "liberal agenda", politics, and it's inclusiveness. I'd like to remind these reviewers that no one is forcing them to watch anything from Hollywood. While I don't have cable or satellite, I know most cable services offer all kinds of fruit loop religious fairy tale channels and plenty of hateful, closed-minded, bigoted nonsense channels out there. All they have to do is point themselves in the direction of Fox and go from there. Otherwise, go into either 911s knowing they're not perfect but an easy way to spend an hour.

The show is good, but they miss soooo many mistakes with costuming and where items were in previous shots. Just plain lazy editing.

The most recent episode, Owen had on a chain that had a pendant, and between multiple shots he loses the pendant and it reappears in other shots.

This isn't the first time this has happened. In other episodes objects move and change locations or disappear. Or characters suddenly have items in their hands that they didn't have in the previous shot. The continuity team needs to be fired.

Outside of that, Rob Lowe does a great job in his role. I'd love to see them do another crossover with the original 9-1-1. I'd also like to see a little less agenda and more actual fire fighting. The show seems to lean to one side and as of late has really been pushing a particular agenda. We get enough of that with the news, let's see some actual fire fighting and such. The storyline where they thought Owen was an arsonist was great, last season. However, I think there has been a shift at the top and has made it more political than it needs to be.

All the reviews made me think this show was horrible but binge watching the first 3 episodes wasn't so bad. I actually like the show and hope that it gets renewed for a 2nd season!!!!!!
