Under Fire

I started watching this series as at the moment not a lot else to watch. I am only on episode 4 and I'm waiting to see if I can give it more stars along the way. I do find one thing really disturbing. This show is about firemen, I have the greatest respect for these people, but Orlando who seems to think he always knows best, drives himself and his 5 yearold(?) son around without seat belts!!!!!! I'm sure this is something someone in this job, in real life, would not do. Maybe the producers should think about what a terrible example they are showing.

Loved the interventions, the actors and the shots. Nicely filmed and great atmosphere. For a Flemish series absolutely something innovative and worth the watch!

I am a Big Fan of 911/911 Lone Star,so i use them as Measurement, but i think this Show holds his Ground.

It is relateable,the Stories inside are interesting,the Emergencies are maybe not sooo dramatic but not unrealistic and way better than other 911-Clone Shows.

The Stories are not stretched over 39 episodes,hihihi.

I like the Cast,they look ordinary which fits to the more-real-feel.

Its true this Show probably doesn´t had Big-Budget,but isn´t low-budget,either. There is no big CGI-Effects,or special filters for the Camera,still it looks good,sounds goods,more real.

I did enjoy it and recommend it.

What is wrong with the team producing this serie? Empty hose running inside a house while the other shot shows them inside with water. Securing a basket from a hot air balloon with a climbing rope is sufficient? Women is getting a baby in a car sitting upright, the baby has no umbilical cord, and the same cars a stalking the seen over and over driving past (don't mention the shots are far from lining up with the cars). No overlapping duty's? The old luitenant says he was early so he wouldn't see other people?! And the go home every evening like a office job? Welding under a fire truck because repairs a needed in a active duty?(don't mention the metal he welded stays red/orange glowing for a long time in the shot)

And the "5 George K" radio chatter in Belgium! And repeating every shot?

I'm not finished with the serie.

Can't wait for the rest of the quirks. Maybe watch it twice to see what i missed.

No idea why the other reviews are so negative, because I liked it. The acting was generally good, the characters have interesting storylines going for them, though in my opinion they did put in a bit too much at once at times.

I was invested enough in the storyline, acting and characters to blaze right through it. I will say that the characters do go too far in forgiving some of each other's wrongdoings, like being part of the crew means all your sins will be forgiven, no matter how grave.
