9-1-1 : Lone Star

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.

Sure, it's soapy, but what show like this isn't to one degree or another. Reviewers compare it to the original very fine 911, which is also soapy and can have some weak and lame dialogue along with plenty of wooden acting. I looked through a lot of reviews and one common theme among many of them are a disdain for "Hollywood morals," political correctness, the "liberal agenda", politics, and it's inclusiveness. I'd like to remind these reviewers that no one is forcing them to watch anything from Hollywood. While I don't have cable or satellite, I know most cable services offer all kinds of fruit loop religious fairy tale channels and plenty of hateful, closed-minded, bigoted nonsense channels out there. All they have to do is point themselves in the direction of Fox and go from there. Otherwise, go into either 911s knowing they're not perfect but an easy way to spend an hour.

The writers acted like Austin was some small hick town with a diversity issue. Yes, those places exist in Texas. But, speaking from someone who has lived in Houston their whole life, Austin isn't that town, and I doubt you have to reach to places to like Chicago or L.A. to find a trans man or Muslim woman, they very much exist in a thriving, diverse, and blue for that matter, city like Austin. Not saying discrimination can't happen in Austin, terrible people are everywhere, but please for the love of god can t.v. and movie writers please actually go to Texas for once in their damn lives. The desert is in West Texas my dudes, Austin is liberal, I've never heard the spaghetti western accent they think we have, and Houston is considered one of the most diverse cities in the county.

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.

Love this show, yeah it's not believable and it's kind of a joke. But it has a storyline. It's not a comparison to the other one, but normally the OG is the best anyway. I love the cast. It's TV people don't be so critical and sit back and enjoy. You voted for Trump and you think this is a joke. Haha. I'm glad I'm Canadian.
