Brief synopsis of Rescue Me - Season 1

Tommy Gavin is a lifesaver. Whether he is pulling survivors from fiery high-rise infernos or the twisted steel of a subway collision, Gavin takes great pride in leading the heroic but often overwhelmed firefighters of New York City’s Truck Company 62. Gavin (Denis Leary) is also a man drifting between sorrow and anger over a recent separation from his wife (Andrea Roth) and three kids, and recurring memories of comrades and New Yorkers fallen victim. Leary and multiple EmmyÒ Award-winning writer-producer Peter Tolan (The Larry Sanders Show, Murphy Brown), the team behind the critically-acclaimed cop drama The Job, have re-teamed as creators, writers and executive producers of Rescue Me.

Move over West Wing, this deserves 6 stars!

A customer from Norfolk , 27/06/2006

Finally an American series to challenge West Wing for my attention. This series is superb. It centres around a New York firehouse post-9/11. The main character, Tommy, an alcoholic fireman, is a divorced father living opposite his ex-wife and family who talks to his cousin, who happens to be a dead fireman - a 9/11 victim, on a regular basis. Sounds weird doesn't it? Well it is a bit but it is completely watchable; in fact when I received the DVD I watched the first 4 episodes in one sitting. I thoroughly recommend it. If you like Six Feet Under - you'll love this.

The Doctor is in the HOUSE

Melisa Tupou from Harrow, UK , 11/04/2006

This is a great little series, set in NYC, written and starring Denis Leary - the 'Doctor' for those of you familar with Leary's NO CURE FOR CANCER stand up routine. It's about a bunch of fire fighters and their lives post 9/11. It's gritty, funny, cheesey and charming. Leary, of course, is the main character - a fire fighter fighting his own demons, struggling to save his marriage, his career and his sanity - he get's to talk to his dead fire fighting cousin. The supporting charcters are interesting...and it will be great to see how they develope over the coming seasons. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this series.

If you like your comedy a little twisted and your drama a little wierd...this series is for you.
