Yeah yeah yeah, it's a TV show, but COME ON! Suspending disbelief doesn't also mean dispensing with all common sense. This show is reaching comedic levels with it's absurdity.

1) Our firehouse captain - Bobby - who in his previous job was a prescription drug addict who actually caused an inferno that killed his own family, and countless others. Bet that irony looks real good on a resume for a FIREFIGHTER.

2) Han getting a rebar through his skull and brain, and SURVIVING. Okay - so he survived. I can accept that. Modern miracles have happened before. But to be able to pass a Firefighter's physical and return to work - with ZERO issues - after only a few weeks? Not to mention he's managed to regrow all his hair, and his scar is less noticeable than Buck's birthmark on his face.

3) Oh yeah - then there's Buck - who in the last episode needed to have Abby give him a tracheotomy after the bread course at their Valentine's Day dinner.

4) Then there's our cop we follow - Angela Bassett, who so far has found out her husband of over 15+ years is gay, her daughter tried to commit suicide, and she roughed up and arrested her daughter's female bully friend - ILLEGALLY.

5) Let's not forget Abby - the 40-something dispatcher who also has psychic powers. Take into account the airplane pilot who's girlfriend passed out and was having an apparent heart attack. Abby the Clairvoyant somehow knows who this woman's Dr is, calls them, and saves the day just as our firefighters/paramedics (who seemed to be right at the golf course as the plane landed on the fairway) were about to severely damage her heart with the wrong medication. Too bad her clairvoyant skills didn't work as well when her Alzheimer's inflicted Mom was lost and roaming around the city. Lucky for her that Mom stumbled onto a nice street gang that saved the day and gallantly brought her to the hospital.

This show is drama overdose. The sanest character is our token lesbian Henrietta - who oh by the way has a felonious ex-lover in prison she's vouching for, and who we just KNOW is going to be victimized when that ex-con from Orange is the New Black get released and will inevitably come calling.

Seriously, 9-1-1 makes the old 1970's "EMERGENCY!" show look like a documentary.

It's hard to make drama this funny - but 9-1-1 is up to the challenge.
