Saved

I saw the premier of this show last week and it started off slow but it gradually pulled me into focus. I have never watched Rescue Me because I thought that it was a little too macho hero worship for me. This shows a pretty decent character been developed with flaws as with every human in the living condition. In first viewing this show you feel as if you are being introduced to a "family" which each brings their problems and characteristic to the table, and we are slowly being involved with all the weirdness of each character and the job which binds, separate and cause the conflicts we will get to see week after week. So far it is very believable and I expect to see a couple more episodes and continue liking SAVED.

Love the drama and the real way things emerge and feel...I have a friend who is a trauma nurse, formerly he and his wife were both medics, and they were the ones who got me addicted...

The interaction between Wyatt and Alice is pretty real...it doesn't feel contrived...the frustration between Wyatt and his new boss are startlingly real, too. Wyatt's career decision and how it influences his relationship with his partner is powerful...

I'm not a TV person, so getting hooked is a surprise...

This series further cements the irrelevance of regular broadcast TV.

Where the hell is it filmed, tho?

This person who left the comment before me is an idiot. Obviously you don't have any experience as an E.M.T. or any Emergency Services! Sometimes you have break the rules to save a life asshole...this show is great and does a good job of portraying the stress that the Paramedics have to deal with both on and off duty. The acting is great and each episode makes you want to watch it again. ...still not as good as FX's Rescue Me but is still a great show. There are few rescue shows that can be taken seriously, but this is surely one that can be. There are a number of police shows on the air and now there is Rescue Me for firefighters. It is about time someone created one of us Ambulance workers! Ignore the guy who posted before me...he doesn't know what hes talking about...

I have seen many doctor/ER type shows on TV and none of them compare. Most shows take reality and tweak it a bit in order to satisfy the target audience. "Saved" is a work of genius. As a mobile EMT myself, I can relate to MANY things I see in nearly every episode. There is very little artistic license taken. Each of the characters in the series develops his or her own unique personality which can be easily picked up on. The series also contains a web of relationships which is built upon from episode to episode. This alone shows the time and thought that went into writing such a series. The series also properly portrays the stress inherit in the work of an EMT and Paramedic. All in all, "Saved" is a terrific must see series.

This TV is excellent. Viewers make think this is similar to "Rescue Me" but it's not. "Rescue Me" has vulgar language and is not appropriate for all viewers. Granted there are going to be a few people who say this show is just a Rescue Me RIPOFF. It is similar considering they both deal with emergency situations, but the situations are totally different, one situation deals with fires and the other deals with medical emergencies. Although there is blood and other medical problems that may not be suited for those with extremely weak stomachs, although blood is almost normal for most television shows now. If you are looking for an excellent television show that is mostly clean and hardly no vulgar language, this is the show for you. This show and House, MD.
