Season 2 of 9-1-1 definitely found its footing. Season 1 was so shaky I definitely didn’t have much hope for it. But luckily it looks like in season 2 they stabilized their writers room, this absolutely improved the quality of the writing and the viewing experience as a whole. I am fully convinced that Buck is super gay and no one can convince me otherwise. I am in fact not crazy because tumblr has validated all of my feelings. Now if Eddie isn’t gay I will riot because that is insane. Those two have more romantic chemistry with each other then they have ever had with any woman they interact with on screen. The season finale of season 2 was weird and kind of shoehorned in but it did end with our couples getting a happy ending. Maddy and Chim get together and Athena and Bobby get married.

Season 3 of 9-1-1 definitely seems to lean into character relationships more than the previous two seasons but structurally the show has the same problems. The writers room definitely seems inexperienced which is normally what show runners are for. But Ryan Murphy has lots of experience, the only problem with that is Murphy has no skill or talent whatsoever. So we have a lack of skill overseeing a lack of experience and it’s not a great combination. The actual writing, the dialogue and character development is fine. But everything else; the plot points, cases, structure are all really poorly written. As a procedural it’s lower tier and I am really only still here because of Angela Bassett and Christopher.
