Chicago Fire

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.

Can this stop being the Stella Kidd show? I used to really like this and they need to go back to fire situations instead of a soap opera. There are too many scenes of personal drama dragging each episode out way too long. It used to be interesting when it was early on except Severide was sleeping with every woman he could find. There are alot of interesting cast members who deserve more attention than Severide and Kidd who aren't that interesting other than being good looking. Who cares? Herman is great. So is Joe. Their wives are great. Trudy is awesome. I loved Otis. It's time for this show to take a different direction.

I have been a fan of Chicago Fire since day one. When it first started, I watched it for the fire and rescue related calls, the action. I find now, it is far less about calls or incidents to which a fire department would respond, and far more about personal relationships and political nonsense. I can get that junk on other shows. Last night I watched what I consider the best episode of Chicago Med produced to date, because it focused on the events of a hospital emergency department the entire episode, not personal relationships.

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!!
