Unfortunately it gets distracted by everything else except the fire. The sick kid, the ex wife, the nagging grandparent, the work... Just stick to one thing and move on... Also, the shaky camera is out of control. In film school we were taught on to pan on telephoto... this is nothing but panning on telephoto... it detracts from the scene and and does not convey what the director wants...

Although this show plays to several tropes that could be better served.

The trope of a tired broken down soldier is beyond old... Do something different. The other trope is the one of the hopeless little girl who need saving, this is monumentally irritating as it sets up somebody who's going to sacrifice himself for the monumentally inept person.

Otherwise I do enjoy all the scenes. I just wish they wouldn't use some of the old tropes.
