    Excellent series with excellent performances being brought to life by excellent actors. Ryan Murphy has done it yet again. The material on this one is so different and well-produced that it's impossible to look away.

    Off to an engaging start. Interesting that most of these stories are actually based on real-life emergencies. Time will tell if these characters can continue to be well-developed and the call outs this intense.

    While trying to underscore the importance of the work of first responders, the show seems to largely committed to entertain audience rather than exhibiting any authenticity and true emotions. Characters are poorly developed and story lines remain cliche as a procedural.

    That wise-ass firefighter has to go, though. It looks like the character was placed there just to provide a foil, but it detracts from the sense of the show. Either give him a life-changing event that straightens him out, or transfer him out of the show.

    Overall, it's a well-done show with actors that work well in their roles.    … Expand

    First episode short review.
    -------
    The 9-1-1 show is filled with personal family drama. It's based around a Fire Department crew, 1 Police Officer and a dispatcher. I personally thought they would include all the departments like Coast Guard, SWAT, etc. The show has potential. Besides shows like Chicago Fire, SWAT, etc you don't have any shows like this on TV.

    Besides that first or second unrealistic scene with the young fire fighter. And later on another scene where the young fire fighter was on the roof. It was a good first episode.    … Expand

    It's more watchable than most of these types of shows so far. But it's ridiculous that they're portraying Connie Britton's character as having a romantic interest in Oliver Stark's very immature character. It's a disservice to Britton who brings such presence to the screen. It's almost as ridiculous as the 90 pt rating by the Wall Street Journal.

    I just caught my first and last episode of this show. It is very dumb. If you are above the age of twelve or have an IQ greater than 85 then this show is not for you.

    For a pilot, it was okay. Reminiscent of the old Emergency series, but more inclusive of FD, PD, and a 911 dispatcher. Some of the situations are pulled from similar real life 911 calls, so there’s no danger of running out of new material. Talk to real 911 dispatchers you will hear just how crazy and stupid some of the calls can be!

    Like the action, like the rescues, but could do without the young irresponsible horn dog firefighter with the attitude and a lady cop with a gay husband coming out of the closet to their kids. The 911 dispatcher with a mom at home suffering with with Alzheimer's is more real and relevant to more of the population.

    There is some potential here if they focus on the emergency situations and less on the homelives of the professionals who do the work. Yes first responders are people and they do suffer stress due to the nature of their jobs but the best ones learn how to turn off the personal when it’s time to be professional. Their lives and their colleagues’ lives depend on it. We don’t need a bunch of flawed wannabes trying to get these jobs, due to some stupid TV drama.

    Upgrading my score by a point due to a slightly better second episode. There were still too much soap opera style subplots on the personal side, but again, the actual rescues were interesting to watch. The action will carry the show, not the juvenile personal garbage.
    Will watch this one with interest, as there is some potential here - if and only if this does not become a soap opera!

    Hate the loss of the Abby character, as she was the glue for this cast. Don’t think JLH can fill the void unless she starts talking to ghosts after her shifts... just saying....    … Expand

    New tv show with new action and good action. I really enjoyed it and the only thing I hate is the end. It's like the writer's goal was to make the most anticipated second season and they went too far.

    Uma excelente série com ótimas performances de atores. Ryan Murphy mostra-nos mais uma vez que é capaz de inovar em cada produção da sua autoria. Impossível não querer ver mais episódios desta série!

    A fast paced, action packed show with a great cast, this new show has a lot of potential.

    The pilot episode comprises several emergencies, all of which are written and directed as nail-biters. In between, we begin to learn a little about some of the main characters. Nothing that would distinguish them from other characters in similar procedurals, but even if 9-1-1 is a departure from racier Murphy-Falchuk fare, it maintains high production values, solid performances and engaging scripts.

    The reason 9-1-1 seems even worse than it is, is that it has such good actors performing such awful material. How awful?: Somebody flushes a baby down a toilet!
