Rescue Me

[Solan]

Recently divorced fireman Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary), is coping with the fear of his job and the unease he feels watching his ex-wife as she starts to date other men. To better keep tabs on his ex and stay close to their three kids, he moves across the street from them.

"Rescue Me" is a drama that centers on the inner workings of Engine 62, a New York City firehouse, and the personal and emotional battles of its members in a post-9/11 world mostly centering on Tommy Gavin, a veteran firefighter whose life is in turmoil as he copes with the stresses and fears of his job as well the separation from his wife Janet. Tommy moves into a house across the street from her to stay close to their three children and keep an eye on her. The stresses and fears of his job are manifested through conversations with his dead cousin Jimmy Keefe, a former firefighter, as well as the haunting memories of people he has watched perish on the job. The other members of Ladder 62 include Chief Jerry Reilly who, despite being called "The Good Chief," has a serious gambling problem. Sean Garrity is a young, handsome guy who is easier to look at than hold a conversation with. Franco Rivera, a cocky, Puerto Rican ladies man, is Tommy's confidant who lives life in the fast lane. Lt. Kenny "Lou" Shea is a man's man who secretly writes poetry and uses it as a way to release his emotional frustrations. Mike Silletti, "the probie," is subject to numerous initiation pranks as he starts his career as a firefighter.

This is a great show thats full of drama, comedy and controversy.

Denis Leary with the cool hairstyle.

It's a good show. A bit depressing at times, and other times it's funny. A very good performance filled with various emotion.

This is a great show. With my history of 9/11, I find this to be one of the only creations to be true to the events and the aftermath. I knew many firefighters and police officers that died that day, so anything that references it or came about because of it is something I critique whole-heartedly, but Rescue Me is the only one I think that was done right. As the seasons go on, it gets to be less and less about 9/11 and into everyday firefighter roles, but having lived with guys who are FDNY, some of the events are more true than you might believe.

Dennis Leary in a serious role?

I know I was shocked to.

Yeah it is an awesome show, me and my brother used to watch it all the time, this is how I got into it, before he went away to university.

Did anyone see the last episode that was on? I don't know if they played the same one here that they did there.
