So far the show is increasing in quality as we move through the seasons but the structural problems are most definitely still there. My biggest problem right now is that both season 2 and 3 of 9-1-1 have had really deep, emotional multi episode arcs that feel like they should end the season…but then they don’t and there are still several more episodes. The season finale then tries to shoehorn in something big at the end but it kind of robs the previous emotional arc of its impact. This problem roots in the fact that this show overuses multi-episode arcs. Like these writers have never heard of self contained stories. I am hoping that at some point in this series that horrible storytelling device goes away. We will see, at the end of season 3 Abby came back, but with a fiance. May graduates and starts working at the dispatch center and Maddy and Chim are having a baby!

After you accept that the plotlines and story structure are going to be insane and somewhat incomplete. With absolutely no consistency then the show gets a lot more enjoyable to watch. Angela Bassett continues to be the best part of the series and the actor for Buck continues to be absolutely adorable but just the worst actor possible. Side note I think my Buck is super depressed. We are leaving this season with Maddy engulfed in postpartum depression, and Chim being the best partner ever. AND EDDIE LEAVES CHRISTOPHER TO BUCK THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE THAT IS STRAIGHT. And Albert becomes a firefighter.
