Fire Country

Well this show won't win any Emmys, and as many other reviews note, it's usually an unrealistic melodrama. So... its clearly not for everybody.

But,if you can overlook all that, and if you (like me) hated to see Thieriot leave Seal Team, and wanted him to play that exact, same character somewhere else, then your wish was granted.

I'll hang with it for awhile, cause it can be fun & entertaining. Also, it's predictable enough so it will be easy to catch up with, even if ya miss an episode or so.

I catch up while on my exercise bike. It does help distract me from the grind. Rather watch this than the news!

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!!!

Hollywood writers seem to follow the same path. They begin a good show with lots of interesting action, but always veer off into fluff and silly dram to fill up time. A good story line with an original and little covered subject, wildland firefighting. A huge untapped potential, but ruined by the high school level melodramatic dialogue.

Viewers tune in for the fire action, not the silly high school drama. Stick to the fires. Do that and it'll run 12 seasons easy.

Keep dragging the show down with silly drama and soap opera dialog and one season tops. Writers please stick to the format that began with episode one.

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.
