It's nice sometimes to come home from teaching my students or a shift at the fire department to watch something a little cheesy and 100x more dramatic than real life, rather than something hard hitting and cinematic like I watch on Netflix or HBO. The characters are engaging and the storylines are absolutely ridiculous and I love it. As a queer woman who is an emt for a rural fire department, this was a breath of fresh air to see some idealized representation in a field where that's not always the case. Each medical case is wild, and they give really bizarre medical care that would definitely get the medics fired every episode. But after having a dozen old ladies with abdominal pain at work, I don't mind coming home to some ridiculousness. Overall, it's what you might expect from a first responder network tv show, and I think it really delivers in its genre. I'm fully engaged and often get choked up. It's a solid 8/10 for me!
