    Station 19 offers a distinctly Shondaland twist on the fire station drama, without resorting to the gimmicks of “Scandal,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” or the latest attempt “For the People.” The new drama dials down the heightened emotions and quicksilver banter that are hallmarks of the Rhimes brand for a sturdier, subtler story. ... A cut above the competition.

    Showrunner Stacy McKee and co-executive producers Rhimes and Betsy Beers know exactly what they want this series to be from moment to moment.

    The workaholic-rom-com notes feel too familiar, but it's worth watching just for Hamilton's Okieriete Onaodowan, who flirts with women by rescuing their cute dogs. [16/23 March 2018, p.104]

    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 »

    I am a retired FF (35 years) I watched the first show and thought it was bad - wanted to give another chance.

    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'

    Just too NOT Real    … Full Review »
