Second episode, and getting stronger
Out-freaking-standing. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It brought back some great memories. I know there is going to be a number of reviewers slamming the show for any number of reasons... they made that abundantly clear after the pilot.
Well, I take exception to their claims of "bad writing" and "unrealistic" depictions of wildland firefighting. My experiences in the fire service tell a different tale. The writers appear to have done their due diligence by researching the language and general tactics... they then applied what they learned in a convincing enough manner. Are they perfect? What show is.
So, hopefully the haters will move on to some other show and leave us here to enjoy this offering by Jerry and his writers. Hollywood will never get everything right... they never have, but there are well-deserved allowances due to time limits and the rules of storytelling. If you arent willing to account for those realities of TV, then move along this show isnt for you.
If you want the full reality of wildland firefighting, then do what some of us have done and grab a Pulaski, flapper or rake, and live the life. Otherwise this show will more than suffice and I cant wait to see how it continues to develop. So many different aspects of the fire service they can cover without ever getting repetetive or boring.
Stay tuned and enjoy.
