Fire Country: Pompiers sur appel

Had watched Seal Team so then watched this to see Max Theriot in something else so had pretty high hopes, it was entertaining enough, but the story was so poorly written and predictable.

The show had its moments and has good characters. It had entertaining fire fighting and rescue scenes in each episode but these were sometimes overshadowed my the consistent melodrama.

It had a lot of potential but was let down by poor writing and actors stopping in the middle of a fire to have a deep conversation got a bit tiring. Not sure if there is a season 2? If so I'd watch it but wouldn't rush. If your coming from Seal Team you'll be a bit let down.

The overall plots are not bad. A little corny at times. However, there is way too much dialogue during active fire scenes. No putting out fires, just discussing the current events of that episode. There is also no sense of urgency when they are on a fire. Let's leave the story substance for the "down times" when there is not a fire. The overall theme and concept the show is good. Hashing out the daily drama during an emergency situation is not even close to realistic. I would hate to see this show end because they can't get this part right. Character development is good and the acting is good.

The show is decent enough don't get me wrong. Max is definitely the best aspect of the entire show so give credit where credit is due. But it really is nothing more than a soap opera for adults. The story line is ok and hopefully it will get better as things move forward. I will say some of the characters (actors) are absolutely terrible though. So bad in fact I have to fast forward while they are on screen. Kinda cringe at times no question about it. They simply are not believable and it kills the vibe of the show. Then the cgi of the fires is complete garbage. You would think they could step things up a few notches and get better cgi but nope.... Kinda cheesy. For all you Max fans this is definitely NOT Seal Team so you can't go into it expecting to watch Clay. That's probably why I have criticism about the show. Again the show is decent enough to watch but it could be sooo much better if they did some tweaking. Give it a try and the worse you could do is change the channel..

I love this show! The other reviewers who talk about it not being "realistic" I guess never watch anything except documentaries and the news. I can't speak for how realistic it is, but I don't care. It's entertaining and that's why I watch t.v. I don't watch television because it's realistic. It has drama, eye candy and keeps my attention. That is ultimately what makes good television. Sure, it has its slow parts, but what doesn't? At the end of the day, I look forward to watching every week and it is a refreshing change from the many superhero shows out there. I recommend giving it a watch!!!

Many of the characters are good but are pulled down by the horrible acting of a few. Stephanie Arcila and Jules Latimer make some of the scenes boring and just plan bad. Their characters should be strong but they are weak. Latimer tries to hard to be a seasoned fire fighter and comes off whiny. Arcila just comes off completely unbelievable. I hope the show survives because Max Thieriot and Kevin Alejandro are fantastic and totally believable. The premise of the show is a worthy one. Please get rid of the week actors so this show has a chance to survive. It is important to show what firefighters go through.
