The special effects were impressive, in particular the opening sequence. The problem with this series is that once you've seen what can be done in this genre (i.e.: "Rescue Me"), the bar is set really high. So, though the series is probably better conceived than "Emergency!" (despite the lack of someone named Mantooth), it falls short in a lot of areas, most notably its use of stereotypes instead of actual characters. -- Kevin M.
