I really wanted to like the show- but Daniels and Cottrell are terrible actors. They couldn't even hold a gaze for effect.
How could they convince audience to believe they're here to save the day if they couldn't show confidence in their stride and speech.
Daniels is lanky and soft spoken. He could not match the right emotions with appropriate facial expressions. Cottrell could not carry a scene because he is too conscious of how he sounds and looks. His gaze is loquacious. He looks away frequently during intense moments.
After watching 5 episodes, I could surmise, the writers and the directors are completely disengaged and oblivious to the supernatural.
I blame the director(s) especially because he or she failed to allow characters to shine.

I binged-watch the show from season 1 to season 7 in three days because of Buckley.
But, the cast surprised me-- even the guests. They're all multidimensional. Kudos to the casting director and writers. Although, some villains were too beautiful to carry out such heinous deeds, the scenes and lines were not almost overshadowed. Lol
The dialogues are tight and authentic. Not too many corny or dragging lines.
Maddie's and Chimney's romance is what I hoped a mini romcom would be in a macro setting. Just the right amount of mushiness. To be fair, I have always loved Hewitt's acting. The camera panning on her is also perfect.
My only qualm is, the firefighters are very rich and well-compensated. Even their firehouse doesn't look like a firehouse. It's a luxurious getaway.
Also, I cannot, but compare most of the freak accidents with scenes in the movie, Final Destination. The choreography, setting, and execution (impalements, collisions, etc.), are too gory to watch- just like in the movie. I wonder if these were meticulously researched for authenticity because they're giving me a sense that Americans are innately accident-prone.
