911 Crisis Center

The call handlers on this show would not be employed anywhere outside of the US. They are rude, pass remarkable and VERY unprofessional in their attitude to callers. Everything that does not DIRECTLY impact the police is treated with disdain. On one show a caller reports noise directly over his house, something hovering and " growling ". Now, ridiculous as that may sound to us, any call to a 911 centre, to idiot people who are not on the scene and have, as yet, no clue to what is going on SHOULD be at the very least be treated with respect. This could be a caller with mental health issues. Like the numerous callers reporting " strange lights in the sky, who are similarly rudely commented on by the imbecilic call handlers. NONE of these people would be employed in such a job in the UK or Europe. Want to know what is intrinsically wrong with America? Watch these self centred idiots.

This series has me on the edge of my seat at times and at others it has me laughing my ass off. I know 911 calls are scary and obviously difficult and I can't imagine how much anxiety each of these dispatchers have when they're picking up the phone to these situations but they still manage to remain light-hearted and talk to each other. It is so nice to see this little family of dispatchers, their snarky comments and quick wits to each other reminds me of my family. To be honest these people are so good at what they do I'd feel safe if I knew when I call 911, that I was calling one of them. They do such a hard job, and yet they manage to stay human, it's wonderful to see. The way they focus on different people in each episode helps the audience get to know the dispatchers at work more and it's nice to see how different people work with different people. I think this is one of my favourite shows ever, cause I love watching things like Station 19 and The Resident but I'm not great with seeing blood so this is like perfect, I am glad I chose to watch this series, I can't wait for more to come out!

I don't understand, is this show trying to mock legit 911 operators? LOL, I had to turn it off half way through the pilot.

So glad I don't live in that area of Ohio.

This series shows how dispatchers work to help others daily through calls while also highlighting how the workers depend on eachother to get through tough calls, as they are also humans and some of the situations they have to deal with are traumatic. This shows a real life experience in the dispatch center, how workers help others and eachother. Love it! If you ever worked dispatch or triage you will instantly connect on this show, the need for the silliness inbetween calls to keep eachother on point is so true!

This new series approaches crime and emergencies from the viewpoint of the people working in a 911 crisis center. In the first episode we meet several of the dispatchers and see them dealing with difficult situations. It's easy to like these people, and we do find ourselves getting involved in the problems they are dealing with as they take calls. This different approach to storytelling is refreshing. I look forward to seeing more series episodes.
