    Tries to be too much like THIRD WATCH (and that was an awesome show!) This one is boring and not true to life at all............ I was disappointed after the first two episodes and never watched it again since!

    I keep trying to like it and watch it but it's boring. By now it's season 3 and nothing has really happened or changed. It's a continuous soap opera. Does not live up to the hype. The best episode was the combo with SVU/Chicago PD.

    I've really wanted to stick with this show but the new scenario with Bowen acting the whipped dog and the entire stupid scenario around that creep hanging around and Grissom, it's all too disgusting. I'm hoping that if I give it a few weeks hiatus they may resolve that crap and get the worm out of the station and then maybe it will go back to being a fairly enjoyable part of the trilogy.

    There are rivalries and feuds and dangerous situations, as well as a complete lack of personality. [29 Oct 2012, p.38]

    There didn't seem to be anything like [a plot] for the first two episodes, though there has been no lack of good looks, with Taylor Kinney and Jesse Spencer around and filling out their firemen togs nicely. Still there's hope. In episode three, to be exact, where we find a hint that the writers have caught on to the uses of a story line, this about a corrupt police detective.

    There's no character you haven't seen before. More importantly, there's no character that hasn't been done much, much better elsewhere.
