A lot of people like Fox’s show called 9-1-1. Over 15 million people watched the series premiere, almost 10 million watched the second episode and it’s frequently been the top-rated night drama.On a surface level, 9-1-1 is a procedural about first responders in Los Angeles — police officers, firefighters, paramedics as well as 9-1-1 operators.
However, there’s a lot more under the surface.
9-1-1 Is Grounded In Reality
A lot of 9-1-1′s character-centric drama is all about realistic experiences. Sure, there’s a quite heavy dose of melodrama not unlike other programmes of the same ilk however these characters also go through very human struggleswhen their shifts are over. Not to mention, a number of the one-off characters in the multiple emergency calls per episode offer something more than their bizarre circumstance suggests.
9-1-1 Is Enjoyable For Everyone
Anyone else not into procedural dramas? They indeed have their merits however sometimes the rinse and repeat nature of the narrative may disconnect from the characters. 9-1-1 really does manage to straddle the best of both worlds, integrating an absorbing but not all-consuming procedural element together with character-driven drama. Those of us who aren’t charmed by case-of-the-week dramas and prefer playing at Big Dollar instead will find plenty to love.
