Sometimes I let TV shamelessly pull on all my heart strings. I know what I am watching is a distortion, but I don't care. I know none of these actors are giving the performance of their careers, but I don't care. There's a lot of other content on TV right now to satisfy my need for tier one well written and compelling drama. This show satisfies a different craving in my viewing habits. I don't know anything about EMT first responders work, and I don't expect this (or any show) to be a crash course or remotely accurate. The stories push buttons of humanity and compassion; sympathy and empathy in heavy doses. And I like it all Sometimes I need a bit of this stuff in my TV diet to counter the tsunami of content exploring the darker sides of better written and more interesting characters. I'm fully aware I'm escaping into characters whose one dimensional goodness isn't what a lot of people expect. I'm good with that.
