Fire Country

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.

The overall plots are not bad. A little corny at times. However, there is way too much dialogue during active fire scenes. No putting out fires, just discussing the current events of that episode. There is also no sense of urgency when they are on a fire. Let's leave the story substance for the "down times" when there is not a fire. The overall theme and concept the show is good. Hashing out the daily drama during an emergency situation is not even close to realistic. I would hate to see this show end because they can't get this part right. Character development is good and the acting is good.

I love this show! The other reviewers who talk about it not being "realistic" I guess never watch anything except documentaries and the news. I can't speak for how realistic it is, but I don't care. It's entertaining and that's why I watch t.v. I don't watch television because it's realistic. It has drama, eye candy and keeps my attention. That is ultimately what makes good television. Sure, it has its slow parts, but what doesn't? At the end of the day, I look forward to watching every week and it is a refreshing change from the many superhero shows out there. I recommend giving it a watch!!!

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.

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.
