Chicago Fire

I'm glad they finally promoted Hermann and have finally added engine 51 into the picture as I have always wondered why the members of that engine were never in the show. Now, just get rid of that obnoxious dweeb sneaking up, nit picking, all over firehouse 51.

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.

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!!

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.

A good entertaining show, I like the characters in it, it's not slow and just easy watching. However, why does Dawson get so much airtime? I hate the character, I can't connect to her and she just seems to be in places or meetings for the sake of it, she should just be a side character, give Mouch and Herrman more airtime as they are actually interesting characters that seem realistic and likeable.
