911 Crisis Center

I don't understand, is this show trying to mock legit 911 operators? LOL, I had to turn it off half way through the pilot.

So glad I don't live in that area of Ohio.

This series shows how dispatchers work to help others daily through calls while also highlighting how the workers depend on eachother to get through tough calls, as they are also humans and some of the situations they have to deal with are traumatic. This shows a real life experience in the dispatch center, how workers help others and eachother. Love it! If you ever worked dispatch or triage you will instantly connect on this show, the need for the silliness inbetween calls to keep eachother on point is so true!

Not a fan of this series. I watched several episodes of the first season. But began changing the channel whether it was on. The operators seem to put on a phony presence of added drama for the camera's. They do not appear completely genuine. Their side chatter and reactions they have about some callers is often unprofessional & better to be left behind closed doors rather than out in the public eye. They should be ashamed to let the public see and hear how they make fun of callers. I enjoy watching the Oxygen channel but become very disappointed when I see it on the schedule and change the channel immediately.

The call handlers on this show would not be employed anywhere outside of the US. They are rude, pass remarkable and VERY unprofessional in their attitude to callers. Everything that does not DIRECTLY impact the police is treated with disdain. On one show a caller reports noise directly over his house, something hovering and " growling ". Now, ridiculous as that may sound to us, any call to a 911 centre, to idiot people who are not on the scene and have, as yet, no clue to what is going on SHOULD be at the very least be treated with respect. This could be a caller with mental health issues. Like the numerous callers reporting " strange lights in the sky, who are similarly rudely commented on by the imbecilic call handlers. NONE of these people would be employed in such a job in the UK or Europe. Want to know what is intrinsically wrong with America? Watch these self centred idiots.

I was excited for this show be Asmus I really like Emergency Call on abc but somehow it's a lot less interesting to me. I don't know if it's the calls or the dispatchers but it's just not as good and seems forced.
