Chicago Fire

When this show first aired, I was not interested on watching a fire fighting drama. Besides, I've been watching another Wolf Production since 1999 and that was good enough for me. However, when Chicago PD was introduced, I decided to watch it because it came on directly after my favorite show and I love TV drama series. I feel in love with Chicago PD because of the zest and criminal kick-ass and I was hooked.

When Chicago Fire crossed over with Chicago PD recently, I was forced to watch Chicago Fire. Hummm, Chicago Fire very interesting and exciting I thought. I went to HBO On Demand and watched Season 2 of Chicago Fire. Let me tell you, I didn't cook, I didn't answer my phone, I ordered food delivery service and didn't move off of my sofa(only for bbreak) until I watched every episode. I then went to a local retail store and bought Season 1 and the disconnect from the world started all over again. By now you know where my review is going.

Watching Chicago Fire help me to understand Detective Voight, Dawson etc.. and how Chicago PD was piloted. I was upset with me for not watching Chicago Fire initially. Readers, to understand Chicago PD, you have to watch Chicago Fire. I love the intertwining of the shows. It is so damn interesting.

Chicago Fire is a potpourri of diversity, family, loyalty, emotions and laughter. A show that promotes life/death,the response and the danger firefighters face everyday, gives me a deeper respect for my local firefighter and EMT services.

I commend Mr. Wolf for having such great writers and actors/actress, I am humbled. I am aware it's only entertainment. However it's entertainment in a true and realistic form.

One of the Best Shows on TV.

This show started out great. Great action, firehouse banter & pranks, with drama mixed in. By season 4 the writers have taken the drama too far. It's a downer crisis every single episode. Nobody is happy at thus point, about anything. All the personal drama and crossovers and negativity I'm surprised these actors make it through the day. Sad use of great characters. Get the writers away from TV reality news and get this show back to the mix of banter & firefighting.

Wasn't perfect but no pilot is. Really enjoyed the show, we found it exciting, fast paced, without too much exposition or clumsy explaining. Liked what felt like some fairly realistic situations, hope they give the chance.

Loved seeing Eamonn Walker. he was a favorite actor I hope they give him a good chance to shine.

My only concern with an ensemble cast is not getting enough character development and interest to keep the show going at the beginning before it gets to sink in and develop a stable audience.

And really enjoyed seeing something set in somewhere other than New York or Los Angeles!!

Chicago Fire use to be a great show, up to season 4 or 5. In my opinion the writing has gotten to a point that it's turning into a soap opera. What happened to Severides character? He no longer has his own identity a.k.a Kidd's boyfriend. Please give him something to do, make Taylor act because he is excellent playing Severide when the writers actually do their job for him. Lazy writing, look at the drama with Casey and Brett lame high school foolishness. Do the writer think we are stuck in our teen years? Hahaha. Who is writing this stuff, 14 year old kids. Never mind they diminished all the important pillars to the show, like Cruz, Herrmann, McHolland and focused ALL the attention on the newbies. Way too many personal feeling stories, what happened to the action on this show? Remember when Dawson, Shay and Peter Mills were on this show, it was so much better, the acting and writing combined Please take the focus off of Kidd, Gallo and Ritter's stories which are not really interesting and write better stories for the essential characters, the true foundation of what once made this show great.

Binge watching. Halfway through season 4. Must Severide sleep with every new female on the show? How about they try something new...have him decline an advance once in a while. It's getting old and annoying.
