(CASTELLANO) 9-1-1 no pretende reinventar la televisión, pero eso no le impide ser una serie tremendamente efectiva en lo que hace: entretener. Desde su primera temporada ha sabido enganchar gracias a un equilibrio muy bien medido entre dramatismo, adrenalina y personajes con los que, sorprendentemente, terminas empatizando. Y aunque sus tramas a veces parezcan sacadas de la mente de alguien que quiere batir récords de lo improbable, lo cierto es que funcionan. Y vaya si funcionan.
Cada episodio es como una montaña rusa emocional: lo mismo estás viendo un rescate imposible en un edificio en llamas que, minutos después, te meten de lleno en los conflictos familiares o personales de los protagonistas. Y es ahí donde la serie gana fuerza. Porque más allá de las catástrofes y los giros de guion, los personajes están bien construidos. No son solo “los héroes del día”, sino personas con traumas, dudas, pasados complicados y relaciones que evolucionan con el tiempo. Algunos episodios incluso logran tocarte la fibra sin que te des cuenta.
¿Es exagerada? Por supuesto. ¿Tiene momentos poco verosímiles? También. Pero ese es parte de su encanto. Lo importante es que no aburre. Se ve con gusto y, capítulo a capítulo, mantiene ese pulso constante entre la tensión del rescate y el desarrollo emocional de sus personajes. No todas las series procedimentales pueden decir lo mismo.
Si entras en su juego y aceptas su tono, 9-1-1 te recompensa con una experiencia televisiva directa, intensa y muchas veces sorprendente. No será una obra maestra, pero cumple lo que promete. Y a veces, eso es más que suficiente.
(ENGLISH) 9-1-1 doesn’t try to reinvent television, but that doesn’t stop it from being a highly effective show at what it does: entertaining. From its very first season, it’s managed to hook viewers with a well-balanced mix of drama, adrenaline, and surprisingly relatable characters. While some storylines may feel like they're pushing the limits of believability, they work. And they work well.
Each episode is an emotional rollercoaster: one minute you’re watching an impossible rescue from a burning building, and the next you’re immersed in the personal conflicts of the main characters. That’s where the series truly shines. Beyond the disasters and shocking moments, the characters are well developed. They're not just “heroes of the day” — they’re people with trauma, doubts, complicated pasts, and relationships that evolve over time. Some episodes even manage to tug at your heartstrings when you least expect it.
Is it over the top? Absolutely. Are there unrealistic moments? Of course. But that’s part of its charm. The important thing is that it’s never boring. It’s fun to watch, and episode after episode, it maintains a steady rhythm between high-stakes action and emotional growth. Not every procedural drama can say the same.
If you accept its tone and go along for the ride, 9-1-1 rewards you with a gripping, intense, and often surprising TV experience. It’s not a masterpiece, but it delivers on its promise — and sometimes, that’s more than enough.

I jumped into Season 4, with no preamble and it holds up. I got a bit more than expected. Rather than one-off events (there are those), they have devoted some time to developing the characters well. Great casting, with actors of that calibre, there's no way you can lose. It's worth watching and they really delve into some deep issues, which was fresh and unexpected.

Premier of 911 was pure sci-fi and it looks like episode 2 is going to be more of the same. Will not be watching.

Someone kill off the Buck character; I'm tired of being abused with the torture of his narcissistic whining.
This show can be a lot of fun ... every time the Buck character is not on screen.
