Show: Chicago Fire

What's better on Wednesday, now Tuesday nights at 10pm then a lot of hot firefighter actors on your screen? Probably not much.

If you like Law and Order, then I have a feeling you will like this series too because Dick Wolf is the director of Chicago Fire.

This show follows the lives of the people who work for firehouse 51, this includes the truck, squad, and paramedics in it.

Casey is the lieutenant for the truck, Severade is for the squad and Dawson and Shay are both paramedics. All in Chicago. They have a lot of instances where they have to work with the Chicago P.D.  Not always a good thing. In the beginning of the series, one of the detectives on the Chicago P.D. force harassed Casey after Casey filed a report putting the detective's son at blame. A lot was opened up showing that there was some dirty business going down. Dawson's brother, however, is also a detective and he's one of the good ones helping out.

Typically in every show there is some fire or emergency that the crew responds to that challenges them in some way... someone almost dies, someone does die, someone is hurt, etc.

The show also goes into the lives of the people in firehouse 51. For example. Mills (a candidate) has a thing for Dawson and they do date for a portion of the first season. While Shay and Severade are close friends who live together, but Shay is a lesbian. Dawson later finds she likes Casey and wants to be with him after his fiance leaves him (and later on dies in the series)

There's a lot of soap opera aspects to the show that make it actually pretty good. But I like the way they portray the firefighters and how they show them as being normal people outside of the job.
