Rescue Special Ops

Lara is very childish, over steps the rules and puts herself and others at risk. She likes Dean in his bu way too much, engaged to Hamish and marries him, but still flirts with others. None of these people act professional. Even the boss having sex on her desk.

'Rescue Special Ops' is an Australian drama series, that centers around a Sydney based Special Operations rescue unit who are trained paramedics, abseil off buildings and consistently find themselves in high risk situations to help save their patients.

The team features a core unit of characters throughout the duration of the series. Dean Gallagher is the unit team leader and his team consists of his brother Chase, love interest Lara and friends Heidi and Jordan. Peter Phelps' character Vince and Libby Tanner's Michelle are in management positions and often assist from the office, however they sometimes also visit the site of the emergencies. Over the course of the series a few other characters also join the group.

Rescue is relatively fast paced with each episode centering on a different location and story often involving secrets that have lead to the accidents. The stunt work is well done and the special effects are relatively believable. However some viewers will find frustration at some situations that seem a little too neat, or resolved 'just in time'. I also found that the characters were a bit undeveloped and inconsistent and throughout the course of the three seasons I felt like I didn't learn that much about who they really were.

Overall, Rescue is an enjoyable and at times edge of your seat watch. It has encouraged me to watch more shows of a similar genre. Throughout the action there are moments of friendship, romance and multiple locations showcasing the beauty of New South Wales. An interesting watch.

I live in USA so I had never seen this series. I am suffering from a. Chronic illness so unfortunately TV is my only vice since I'm pretty much house bound now. Anyway I've watched all USA shows and fell in love with British but have stumbled upon some great Aussie or New Zealand shows that most Americans don't know. This is one of those! Unfortunately I really had to search to even find it season 1 is on Prime but season 2,3 are not on any streaming service when doing a search on Roku I finally kept at it and found season 2,3 available on you tube the quality of picture isn't as good but better than no one else picking up streaming rights. It's a great show another great one is Rush, I found it streaming free on Tubi.

Enjoyed watching the show. All 3 seasons were easy to watch and entertaining. If your someone who picks out unbelievable acts in first responder shows then don't watch but if your someone who respects the shows for what they try to honor and enjoy the character interaction, then this show is for you. Most of the characters are easy to like and though some of the stories are frustrating, the acting is good and overall the series is a good one. If this an example of Australian TV, I will look for more to watch.

This started out such a great show!! Great characters, great situations, love the theme song which absolutely fits the show. Season 1 and Season 2 kept you wanting more. Unfortunately, by the end of the 2nd season, the producers decided to start focusing mainly on the characters, making them too impulsive, reckless, and so caught up in their personal lives they could barely function. Instead of keeping the reality of life front and center, troubled souls got slaps on the wrists, bar invites, and more exciting plots to show their foolish need for another adrenaline rush. The 3rd and last season almost abandoned the whole premise of the show -- Rescue. Almost every episode was predictable and flat. I wish I hadn't wanted it to end, because it started out So Well, but by Episode 22, I was done.
