9-1-1: Lone Star

First, there is no way you would cross scrubby desert when traveling from New York to Austin. You would come by interstate highway thru the DFW metroplex and down I35 for 4 hours of traffic and towns to get to Austin. No desolate roads!

Also, yes we have accents, very different in different parts of the state, but Austin is more Matthew McConaughey sounding than what was portrayed.

Good show, but please get your details right!

The show is good, but they miss soooo many mistakes with costuming and where items were in previous shots. Just plain lazy editing.

The most recent episode, Owen had on a chain that had a pendant, and between multiple shots he loses the pendant and it reappears in other shots.

This isn't the first time this has happened. In other episodes objects move and change locations or disappear. Or characters suddenly have items in their hands that they didn't have in the previous shot. The continuity team needs to be fired.

Outside of that, Rob Lowe does a great job in his role. I'd love to see them do another crossover with the original 9-1-1. I'd also like to see a little less agenda and more actual fire fighting. The show seems to lean to one side and as of late has really been pushing a particular agenda. We get enough of that with the news, let's see some actual fire fighting and such. The storyline where they thought Owen was an arsonist was great, last season. However, I think there has been a shift at the top and has made it more political than it needs to be.

I enjoy all the characters they brought together. I don't care that the show has "one of each" as other people have written. It's a tv show and it's entertaining. There's comedy,sadness,some OMG moments,some mystery,and comradery and romance. So maybe the firefighting is not "by the books", but we're not watching it to become firefighters. It might not be as drama filled as the original 911,which I thoroughly enjoy and can't wait to see the new episodes, but it gets my mind off the long work day. Makes me laugh. And don't pick on the dyslexic firefighter. There are more real people in this world that need alternative ways to learn because reading is difficult for them and a written test almost impossible to pass. That doesn't mean they can't learn what they need to know to do a job like firefighting. I myself prefer to see how to do something than just read about it.

I never watched this show until the episode that followed the Daytona 500. I found the show enjoyable and entertaining. I feel sorry for the neurotic conservative commenters who overthink every issue in a lame attempt to turn it into a divisive political issue.

I don't understand why the IMDb rating is so average to low for this fantastic show. The entire cast is superb including the guest stars and seldom seen characters. The stories are well written and they are exciting and touching, too. I like this show as well as the original 911 but I prefer this one slightly because of the fantastic chemistry between the characters. If you like Chicago Fire or 911, give this show a chance. I think you will be very pleasantly surprised!
