Estação 19

Station 19 is without doubt one of the best TV shows I've ever seen. The characters, their stories, their cases as firefighters and paramedics are so entertaining that it had me hooked after a few episodes. All the characters had won my heart, especially Maya and Carina (hurts me so much because they deserve to be happy, please writers, let them be happy and not suffer) and I can't wait too see what's coming in the second part of S6. And to those who say that this TV show is not like the real life, then go watch a documental because a TV show is for entertaining, not showing how exactly is in real life, period.

Station 19 is a Grey's Anatomy spinoff that focuses on the lives and stories of BIPOC & LGBTQ characters. The representation of diverse races, genders, sexual orientations, and lived experiences is evident in its cast and crew which is rare and desperately needed on TV today. Further, the show expertly tackles multiple social and political issues through award-winning writing that leaves lasting impacts on their viewing audience. The cast is talented and immensely entertaining. This one is for those who look for action, drama, romance, friendships and family. If you loved Grey's Anatomy, this is even better.

Despite being a spinoff, Station 19 has proved with both viewers and ratings that it has what it takes to hold its own. This show is not "just another firefighter show", nor is it another drama like Grey's. This show has a cast that is diverse in ways of race, ethnicity, culture, sexuality, etc. It showcases storylines that pushes boundaries of what society has typically deemed unacceptable to discuss on prime-time television- abortion, racial profiling, police brutality. It has representation of the most organic sapphic relationship of any television or movie I have ever seen. The chemistry between the two actors that play the characters of Maya and Carina are phenomenal at portraying the love between the two. The ups and downs, and everything in between, they are purely magic. This show is truly incredible. It should be continued on, and can definitely be watched independently of Grey's Anatomy so don't worry!

The care and love that are put into the stories and into the characters is great. I've never seen a show where the actors care so much about their characters and the chemistry between Danielle and Stefania is just wow. ALL of the cast is amazing. Absolutely LOVE this show. I actually look forward to Thursdays just so I can watch. It is the ONLY scripted television I watch at this point. The lives that this show has touched and the lives that have been changed due the actors that portray these characters so beautifully is like none I've ever seen. I will forever be grateful for everything this show has given me.

OK so it's not a 'great' series like The Wire or The Sopranos, but it's perfectly watchable. If you like Greys Anatomy then you'll probably like this as well - don't understand all the negative reviews at all.

The stories may not be realistic, (but neither are Greys Anatomy!) but if you want realism then watch a documentary, it's escapism, it's ENTERTAINMENT.

The comments about the acting seem unfair as well, again it's totally fine

So, in summary, if you don't like it then don't watch, but, for me, I'm enjoying it and will definitely continue to watch - taking it for what it is, a TV show where the actors just happen to be pretending to be fire fighters.
