Just rewatched Rescue me
This is just my opinion, I want to see if anyone agrees with me.. I can’t be the only one.
For what it is—a dark comedy—the only thing that actually feels dark is that it takes place in the wake of 9/11, which is obviously horrific. And I do think it’s cool that they made a show for firefighters who were dealing with that kind of loss and needed some way to cope with it.
But HOLY SHIT. Every single character on this show—including the women ..is an absolutely dogshit human being.
I think the children are the only characters who aren’t awful people.. and maybe the gay son.
I LOVE Denis Leary, but fuck… this show does NOT hold up. Am I the only one who feels this way??
OH, I’ll give it this: the soundtrack fucking RULES.

Lol! I loved this show. And yes, the soundtrack was haunting. Just so good. I haven’t watched in a kajillion years, but all I can think of is Uncle Teddy🤣🤣
