Summary

Reviewers say 'Chicago Fire' is lauded for its gripping drama, strong character arcs, and realistic firefighting portrayal, though some find inconsistencies and unrealistic elements. The ensemble cast and emotional storylines are appreciated, yet criticisms arise for its focus on personal drama over action, repetitive plots, and unprofessional firefighter portrayals. Crossover episodes and character handling also draw frustration. Despite these concerns, many fans enjoy the interpersonal dynamics and entertainment value.

Downer Drama now

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.

Writers of Chicago Fire

We are SO TIRED of the, squirmy commissioner's rat, story line. PLEASE stop, before you ruin this awesome show! Last season...almost every show used this same, worn out story line! Really...you can do better.

Less personal relationships and more action

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.

Really enjoyed

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!!

Need to Go Back To Where It Started

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.

Trivia
Some scenes which take place in the Firehouse 51 kitchen are filmed in the actual firehouse kitchen, others are filmed on a studio set. If you see a door to the left of the cooking area, that is the studio set; if you see a drinking fountain, that's the actual firehouse.

Goofs
Most departments, Chicago FD included, do not allow firefighters on duty to grow out facial hair on the cheeks or on the lower lip or chin as Lt. Severide often does. It interferes with achieving a tight seal on the SCBA (air) mask as the seal gasket on the rests against those parts of the face. Firefighters with too much facial hair will also fail the mask fit test for the same reason. Mustaches (as often seen on Chief Boden, Mouch, Otis and some others) are not technically an issue, but some departments may have internal regulations that restrict them.
