Angela Bassett is wonderful, as always.

I am watching with my mom (My 3rd time watching, my moms first.) And I just have to say it is fun watching with other people. It's very much a typical procedural drama (Or as I like to call them, middle aged mom shows.) It's very fun, high energy, and has interesting characters. As of now everyone is kinda a jerk. But I love the show deeply.

My mom's review: "I hate everyone except the Black ladies, abd the old white guy he's okay."

Breathless

This show completely took my breath away. It perfectly intermingles funny, lighthearted moments throughout the show to help you ease down from the drama. And the relationship between the daughter and the mother with Alzheimer's really gets me, because I'm taking care of my mom who has advanced Alz. Coincidentally, I'm also the same age as the character, and I'm recently single. Really, REALLY hits home.

A not bad episode i really liked Peter Krause starring in the show.

A not bad episode i really liked Peter Krause starring in the show.

911:

911 opens up with some unsettling events but gets better when some of the moments heats up along with a not bad cast 911 leaves you open to the next call that comes in.

Peter Krause couldn't have done a better job than this but i do think Connie Britton could have done better considering her role along with Angela Bassett

So ambulances don't have technicians in the US huh

Fairly terrible by all accounts.

The young firefighter is frankly an insult to firefighters.

Bad, crappy acting,

[repete52 · 1/10 · 15 May 2021]

Mostly poor acting, poor writing, poor directing. Corny, overdramatic situations and acting. Embarrassing.

location services

[phillip-ayscue-135-643247 · 2/10 · 16 January 2018]

Terrible, just terrible: smedium shirts and good cop/bad cop roles with the worst possible solutions to each issue. Pray 9-1-1 is not your best option

This is a "Police Academy" parody, right?

[larrybud2004 · 1/10 · 15 January 2018]

This show is awful. Completely unrealistic scenarios, completely unrealistic responses to those scenarios. Angela Bassett is better than this.

It saddens me that it had a rating above 5 on IMDB.

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 20 February 2019]

From the creators of Glee. The opening episode is both pacy, superficial and glib.

The narration comes courtesy of Abby Clark (Connie Britton.) The 9-1-1 operator who can handle life or death emergency calls, it is her private life that is in a mess.

Abby has to coordinate with the police, ambulance or the firefighters. Sometimes all three.

In the opening minutes the emergency services are in an apartment block looking for a new born baby flushed down a toilet and trapped in some pipes behind a wall.

Later the firefighters attend a woman who is being strangled by her own pet python. Someone is for the chop in that one.

Fireman Bobby Nash (Peter Krause) has to break in hotshot newbie Buck (Oliver Stark.) This young Buck thinks his job is a good way to pull the ladies.

The most interesting character is veteran policewoman Athena Grant (Angela Bassett.) She already has had a run in with Buck but she is reeling from her husband who has come out of the closet.

There was plenty of shock value in this pilot, a little girl home alone while some burglars break in leads to a race against time. However it has very little that is original to offer. Like Buck, they are two dimensional characters in LA LA land.

Insulting to real first responders

[retireerah · 1/10 · 16 March 2024]

Everything about this show is absurd. The producers should make hefty donations to first responder agencies across the country as redemption for their sins. If this is your type of "entertainment," pay a visit to your local firehouse or police station and talk to the real people who put their lives on the line every day on your behalf. I understand the desire to enhance reality for the sake of entertaining the masses, but this goes beyond enhancement to salaciousness. At best, this program might encourage some appropriate applicants to pursue a career as a first responder. One caveat: don't expect to live in digs as glamorous as those shown in this program, particularly if you live in the L. A. area.
