Rescue Me

[Spitfire]

Anyone watch this series? I checked it out because I'm a Denis Leary fan. After the first two episodes I was hooked. I just bought season 1-3 on DVD, got season 2 and 3 with a buy one get one free sale. I just finished season 3 and I can't wait to see 4. I think they're half way though 5 at the moment so I hope to catch up. I read online 6 will most likely be the last season.

Anyways I love the series. It's really funny and it manages to juggle drama and humor well. It transitions between them pretty flawlessly. The characters are all insane and the story lines always have good twists in them. My favorite characters besides Tommy are his brother Johnny, Kenny, and Uncle Teddy.

If you want to discuss stuff happening in the show please use spoiler tags for my sake at the very least. I don't want to ruin anything that happens for me or anyone else.

I remember really liking this series when the first season was airing. Specifically the ending of the first episode, I thought was amazing. But I feel like the rest of the series doesn't take the same tone, right? Like, its more serious/funny, not very ....spiritual, I guess?

Season 2 does go more spiritual. He starts seeing Jesus and Mary Magdalene. It's still more humorous then the later seasons. I agree it got more serious though. I started to get more into the stories so it wasn't just humor carrying me over. I'm half way though season 4 now and I notice I don't laugh nearly as much as I used to.

I'm hoping season 5 picks up the pace a bit.
