Review: Don't let the NR rating fool ya, this one pushes the envelope of permissible to the extreme, then it kicks it low and steps over it. Language, sex, partial nudity, sexual dialog and puerile dialog are pervasive in this series, so it's definitely not a kid's show. A firefighter television show for adults, but it panders to the basest of factors to entertain the adult audience it's aimed at. I don't know what Leary is thinking, sex and jokes about sex can be hilarious, but this show is so full of it, it's overbearing and turns me off at times. It fills far too much time with graphic material that is unnecessary and eats away at the time better spent on the tales of REAL firefighting. Though i must admit, some of the situations and antics are quite hilarious. What i do like is the fact that it does open a door and show a light on the things that touch the lives of firefighters and their families. Alcoholism, obsession with work and other things, adultery, loss, the job, friends, gaining and loosing them, kids, it touches on them, but it seems to spend too little time on this and too much on the sex breaks. I will definitely watch what i can of the second season, but i think i will forgo buying it if things continue the way they are in the first season.
