Sick Day

I always look forward to the action-packed multi-part emergencies that 9-1-1 has become known for each season. The tsunami episodes of Season 3 are an all-time fave and this one is quickly becoming tied for that title. I love a good thriller and this episode kept me edge of my seat for the full hour. Everyone brought their A game - cast, crew, writer, director, etc. Oliver Stark (Buck), Anirudh Pisharody (Ravi), and Kenneth Choi (Chimney) were stand-outs for me, delivering some of their best performances yet. This episode is a prime example of what makes 9-1-1 so compelling - a strong team dynamic, over-the-top action, writing that is heartwarming, thrilling, and funny all at the same time, and so much heart.

Great episode, very intense. A petty bureaucrat and an unethical scientist being the real villains, so true. I'm a bit confused by Athena's insistence on not letting her kids stay with her, especially since Harry is barely 18 at most. But eh, at least they're both back. I liked Ravi's arc in this episode, and that he and Buck returned to their normal dynamics.

""Sick Day" is one of 9-1-1 BEST EPISODES in a long time, it actually reminded me the tsunami arc in S3, the stakes felt so high leaving it every at stand still for our beloved characters, the show needs more thrills like these in order to continue for many more seasons.

Honestly my favorite episode of the season so far, loved it. Action packed and set up things really well for the second part and I can't wait to see what happens.

I think Anirudh is doing an absolutely amazing job as Ravi and he is such a breath of fresh air to the 118's rescue scenes. Giving Buck a chance to really shine and help him is so important to both characters' development, the bar scene was fantastic.

Honestly I didn't feel like anything was missing, and I loved every moment. It's also great to feel like there's real stakes again even if I know it will mostly be okay in the end. Can't wait for what's next!

This episode was honestly amazing. The directing, the writing, the cinematography, the acting, everything about it was so, so good. I was really excited for this episode and boy did it deliver! I cannot wait to see how the story develops, to find out what is going to happen to our beloved 118. This is for me, one of the best episodes of the entire show and the best of the series so far. It allowed all the actors, mains and guests, to shine. I was on the edge of my seat for this entire episode and the cliffhanger made my jaw drop. This was something slightly different for 911 but this is honestly one of the best episodes of any show I've watched in a while. Kudos to all those involved!!!

There may have been a few things that I felt were maybe a smidge rushed. But overall, this was an intense, fast-paced, and powerful episode. The acting for everyone is incredible. It's so good to see moments from characters we haven't seen a lot from, like Ravi. Giving him his moment and continuing to develop his friendship with Buck was excellent to see.

The set up with the guest stars was also excellent. Great actors all around.

The action was great, the acting superb, and Buck and Athena's dynamics are such a joy to see on this show. I do not understand how they will resolve this in the next episode.

Major kudos to the writers Lyndsey Beaulieu & Taylor Wong and director Karla Braun. Welcome to 9-1-1 Karla.
