9-1-1: Lone Star

I don't understand why the IMDb rating is so average to low for this fantastic show. The entire cast is superb including the guest stars and seldom seen characters. The stories are well written and they are exciting and touching, too. I like this show as well as the original 911 but I prefer this one slightly because of the fantastic chemistry between the characters. If you like Chicago Fire or 911, give this show a chance. I think you will be very pleasantly surprised!

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.

Let me put you on notice. If the biggest problem you have with this show is it's inclusivity, YOU are the problem... geez such hateful, stupid people.

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.

All the reviews made me think this show was horrible but binge watching the first 3 episodes wasn't so bad. I actually like the show and hope that it gets renewed for a 2nd season!!!!!!
