Chicago Fire
Details

In the crowded streets of Chicago, the lives of dozens of people can change in an instant every day. In buildings where flames are rising, in the middle of traffic accidents or near hazardous material leaks, there is a group of people who have chosen to run in the direction in which most people are fleeing. Chicago Fire focuses on both the professional lives of these people and the personal cost of this profession. Created by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, the series centers on Fire Station 51 and portrays the internal dynamics of a team in a highly realistic manner. The heroes here are not figures posing in shiny uniforms; they are tired, fragile people who make mistakes from time to time and must confront those mistakes. This dual balance Decoupling between the adrenaline rush at the moment of duty and the heavy silence at the exit from work takes the series to a much more layered place than an ordinary action production. Tensions within the team are not limited to just professional disagreements. A tragic event in the past has fundamentally changed the characters' perspective on each other. This turning point forms the backbone of the series and emotionally draws the viewer in from the very first episode. The question of who is right and who is wrong gradually gives way to much more complex questions: Where does solidarity begin, and where does self-preservation end? A strong cast, led by Taylor Kinney, adds believable depth to the characters. Relationships, romantic tensions and family dramas outside the stage are so expertly intertwined with the action that the series never turns into a pure rescue operations series. It is no coincidence that it has continued its broadcasting life for fourteen seasons. Chicago Fire gently reminds its audience that fear and courage can exist at the same time, that heroism can mean going to work every morning rather than making grand gestures. These themes, which remain fresh even in such a long-running production, stand out as the series' greatest achievement.

Note: This is my first firefighter show. Also I'm not from US and binge watched the show till season 9 recently. So my opinion might be different from people who watched the show in original air. The first three seasons were focusing on the fire fighting more than the relationship between the characters and I really liked it. I've even cried in some episodes for the sacrifice and help firefighters do to the community. A Coffin That Small is one of the episodes. I liked Herrmann's character fo...
r his principles, how he was strong with it even though the situations are difficult and how Cindy was supportive to Herrmann in all those situations. I missed them in the later seasons. The next seasons were not good as the first three as they start focusing on the relationships between the characters (The balance was good though). And I did not like Gabby's character during these seasons. I know Casey had his problems but still Gabby's character was not likeable. The relationship was very much one sided (not in the first three seasons). Casey always tried to support Gabby but did not got the same from Gabby sometimes. I did not hate Gabby, just not liked the character much as other characters in these seasons. I liked Mouch-Trudy whenever they were on-screen. No hate, but I really didn't get Kidd-Severide relationship even in the later seasons. I always felt Kidd's character was written in the way to focus specific target audience. I might be wrong, It's just my perception. The next three seasons were really good in focusing relationship more than firefighting. I loved Brettsey in the these seasons. This relationship was always two ways and Casey was happy always even when they had a break in season 9. Otis's death was impactfull for first few episodes but not later. I felt Otis's character was under-utilised in the previous seasons after his death. I liked Cruz-Chloe relationship. I stopped watching after season 9 since I read the spoiler that Jesse left the show. But I watched the Brettsey via this [playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MwfKnuIHyA&list=PLPh06C6rTjH8LwuTRjY5q46lm5L8VQgA9). I tried to watch season 13 (skipping season 10-12) as it looked like a fresh start with new chief, new paramedics and Severide having a brother. I feel the show changed much after season 9. Is it due to the show runner change, I read it somewhere.
