There is something breezily watchable about Ryan Murphy doing TV comfort food, rather than the usual genre fusion that puts off the picky eaters among us.January 03, 2018
9-1-1, from showrunner Ryan Murphy and longtime collaborators Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear, has a characteristic streak of acerbic humor that comes out in unexpected moments.January 03, 2018
It's when we go off-duty with these heroes, played by one of TV's most ridiculously overqualified casts, that the show flatlines with maudlin subplots that might have been rejected by General Hospital.January 03, 2018
... while it's a better than usual version of the show, it's limited by its insistence on new calls and events to which they rush.January 03, 2018
And the show has other stars: the emergencies themselves. Each of the three in the pilot episode is introduced like a graphic on the local evening news, with an audio wave and subtitles adorning each call to Britton's operator.January 03, 2018
Stick with it, and 9-1-1 exceeds expectations, covering a whole lot of ground in terms of providing little insights into the characters' lives while conjuring unusual twists.January 03, 2018
The reason 9-1-1 seems even worse than it is, is that it has such good actors performing such awful material. How awful?: Somebody flushes a baby down a toilet!December 29, 2017
9-1-1 is insufferable, but it's also watchable. Take your pick of "-ables."January 03, 2018
The Fox procedural 911 is absolutely impossible to watch with a straight face, despite the earnest attempts of its A-list cast.December 29, 2017
... there's nothing particularly graphic or daring.
