New York firefighter Tommy Gavin is a hot mess. He talks to his cousin, Jimmy, who died at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and he's seeing ghosts of other victims, too. Spotlighting Denis Leary as Gavin, a temperamental alcoholic whose self-destructive behavior has cost him his family, the series revolves around the daily drama associated with being a firefighter in post-9/11 New York, and how the men of 62 Truck use dark humor to color their true feelings.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

With its founding conceit receding into the background, Rescue Me careens between various tones in its fourth season, but the series' resonant highs still outweigh its ill-conceived lows.

Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press At heart, it's a funny, raucous, bittersweet and vividly entertaining chronicle of the spontaneous emotional combustion that goes on in the lives of one soulful, eclectic assortment of firehouse characters. Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Tim Goodman San Francisco Chronicle Rescue Me so often pulls off the impossible that its misses are forgivable. And that's an impressive kind of understanding of art and its complicated mission. Rated: 4/4 Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Florangela Davila Seattle Times Yet one more example of how this series skillfully hopscotches from tender to intense. Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Patrick Enright MSNBC Where daytime serials toss in one-dimensional evil twins or random demonic possessions without a second thought, Rescue Me genuinely cares for its weird characters and plot deviations. Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky For the most part it's still morbidly fascinating, with the last seconds of Episode 3 providing one of Rescue Me's biggest jolts to date. The series may not be on fire all the time, but it hasn't cooled its jets just yet. Rated: B+ Jun 13, 2007 Full Review Travis Fickett IGN Movies The simple fact is that this is a good show, Leary is particularly good in it, and if the premiere is any judge, the fourth season will be as entertaining and engrossing as ever.
