    Like other Rhimes productions, the show is very much a work of capital-T Television, a turbocharged melodrama in which twists and surprises transpire with comforting predictability. ... At the same time, Rhimes' series feel "real," and relatable, however absurd they may become, because they are packed with intense emotions.

    It’s true that Station 19 needs to find a way to make its rescues more interesting, but making its cast more intriguing might be even more vital for the show’s survival.

    19 feels exactly like a Shondaland show, but far more like a crossover than a spinoff. There’s perhaps a bigger problem: NBC’s “Chicago Fire” already does this show and does it well.

    Some of the supporting characters, including Victoria Hughes (Barrett Doss) and Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan), make decent first impressions. But the whole enterprise feels so similar to “Grey’s”--co-workers as family, love triangle, heroics on the job--as to be unessential, which programming in the Peak TV era cannot afford to be.

    Viewers should feel much more comfortable on this saucier side of Shondaland, where workplace sex and relationships continue unabated by either human-resources departments or social-awareness movements. The strongest feeling from these shows is a stultifying sense of been-there, done-that.

    Thought this was supposed to be a story about Ben Warren the doc changing career paths, but that’s just a minor subplot. The whole competitionThought this was supposed to be a story about Ben Warren the doc changing career paths, but that’s just a minor subplot. The whole competition to get the captain’s slot is ridiculous. Might be good for a distraction, but it is not believable through and through. If I were chief, I’d reassign half of this crew to other stations and get a proven veteran from another house to be the new captain. The action sequences are interesting at times but since the overall plot is based on a weak premise this is little consolation. The season ended with half the cast either in danger or presumably dead just in case salary negotiations go south. Ho-hum!

    Addendum: Lowering my score as this gets worse, the longer it runs.

    This farce actually got a renewal - it wasn’t due to the writing as far as I’m concerned. Wonder if it’s more a deal between the creator and the network rather than the actual quality of the show.    … Full Review »

    I expected a lot more from Shondaland. Boring characters, lame story lines, bickering like children and not well researched. Captain hasI expected a lot more from Shondaland. Boring characters, lame story lines, bickering like children and not well researched. Captain has cancer and is undergoing radiation therapy. People get radiation and go to work afterwards. It’s not debilitating and it doesn’t lower your immune system. Do some research. Good grief.… Full Review »

    Just way too much BS that would never happen. Just to point out one - code 3 to a major fire - what do the 2 ladies up front do - take head phones off one ear and talk about personal BS. When responding to a call code 3 - eyes ON the road and get your head in the game. The capt would have the book or computer out, looking for hyd or building lay out - talking to his FF building a 'Plan'
