First and foremost, this is a GUY'S show. I know women who like it, but the content of this show is unapologetically male. It's a show about a bunch of guys working hard, playing hard, drinking, screwing, swearing. Comedy is very prevalent in the dialogue...much of it sexist, racist and definitely not politically correct. It's a bunch of guy's busting balls and having fun, but when they'd get a call, we get to see the bravery and heroism as the drama unfolds. We also get to see into Tommy Gavin's personal life, which is full of booze, dysfunction, sex, misery, addiction, family turmoil, marital problems, etc. Overall this is a well written, well cast show full of comedy, drama and action that's definitely worth repeated viewings.
