This was a very gripping tale of truth for anyone who has lived through 9/11 in NYC. Even after 10 years this show can still make people understand what is going on in survivors heads on a daily basis. Denis has done a great job "teaching" others why we act the way we act. Why we do what we do after such a life changing day. It also brings to light the way city life is just so abnormal, so bizarre and how people who stay too long just become immune to what a good life can be. He also brings to light all the real issues that occur in the NYFD, being witnessed to much of the antics in my life I can attest to the sad truth. I feel sad that the show's run is over. This was one of the most realistic shows out there. The fire scenes maybe fake but they never where the point of the show. The show was meant to show people what happens in the personal lives of survivors of the greatest attack on US soil and how they cope. Even if the coping was centered around one person, it still showed that all of these guys feel sad, angry and lost inside. It really needs to come back for another season or so.

I watched all the episodes and find this series very "cheap" in production. I did see a few cameo's by some legends but that obviously wasn't enough to keep this show afloat. Lt. Shea from the series "Rescue Me" has a role here as a hostage negotiator but his character is down played by Lee Lee's character in a scene. I believe the budget was too short, the characters besides Adam Goldberg are horrible actors. The whole basis of the show is a big question mark??? Its so fake... just so fake that you can't stand it. If this is what the studio's in NYC are producing I can see why the industry is faltering and moving elsewhere.
