Season 1 of 9-1-1 is shaky at best. The show had no structure, no sense of organization, the character development was shoddy and none of the relationships were built up properly. Season 2 jumps right in and honestly the first episode of season 2 is about 1000X better then anything that was produced in season 1.

According to the ratings for 9-1-1 season 2 is the best season, or at the very least the most watched and not by a small margin. Season 2 had over 2 million more views then the next highest watched season, up 3 million views from season 1. Also I was right about the premiere date and season length, all seasons with 18 episodes premiered in the normal fall lineups in September. The pilot season and season 4 (which came in at 14 episodes) premiered in January and the final season premiered in March and came in at 10 episodes. Validating to know that I occasionally know what I am talking about. Season 1’s structural and development problems can also be attributed to the fact that they only had 1 staff writer, and every episode was written by someone different. This is horrible for character development and continuity. Whereas in season 2 the same staff writer works with a much smaller pool of circulating writers. And almost everyone who wrote for season 2, wrote multiple episodes. There was also more creator involvement in the writers room.
