This new Tennessee-set chapter hits the ground running and will certainly unfold and evolve in unexpected ways. More than anything, even amid the silliness and absurdities of the medical emergencies, the show’s feel-good moments, which involve people being saved and others working together, depict a deep humanity.

Not everyone will like 9-1-1: Nashville. Maybe some would even look down on it — a curse that network TV shows have been dealing with for years despite producing some critically-acclaimed projects like Abbott Elementary and Doctor Odyssey. But for those who enjoy a good procedural and a relaxed weekly watch, it's worth checking out based on 9-1-1: Nashville's premiere episode.

How a director/producer allows something this terrible to be aired is astonishing. It’s not even cringy bad, it’s just bad.

The 9-1-1 franchise wears its ridiculousness like a badge of honor, and that gives them the freedom to put their first responders into pretty much any situation, which is why 9-1-1: Nashville might be silly, but at least it’s entertainingly silly.

While the series is off to a good start with the action, the bones of the story are mired in soapy Southern drama that doesn't necessarily hit the right notes to rival the original series.

Haven't watched the last few seasons, people says it's not so good, but oh, the first ones are so good, intense and interesting. It's good.

Meh. They canceled 911: Lonestar for this dud? This feels more like a Yellowstone rip-off than a 911 franchise show. It's like the show's creators were trying to shop their soapy Southern cowboy melodrama to copy Yellowstone and somebody at the network said they'd only support it if they turned it into a 911 show, so the creators tried to shoehorn the firefighter stuff into it. It does not feel organic or cohesive thus far, and it seems like the cliched soap opera storylines of the main family are going to be more of the focus of the show than the firefighters and weekly disasters. I think they are trying to do too many things at once and it makes all of it bland and dull. The writing is weak, and the characters forgettable. This 911 version goes heavy on the schlock of the other shows, without any of the heart and redeeming qualities the first two 911 shows have. I can't see this one lasting more than one season at this rate.

9-1-1: Nashville was a disaster from concept to casting. From the very start, it felt like a show created by committee rather than vision. The writing was shallow, the direction confused, and the overall tone inconsistent with what made the 9-1-1 franchise successful in the first **** of the clearest examples of where this project went wrong was the casting of Hunter McVey as Blue. McVey is a TikTok fitness influencer with absolutely no professional acting background—no training, no on-set experience, no foundation in the craft. His casting was based entirely on follower count and appearance rather than talent, and it shows. That choice alone says everything about how misguided this production was.Even with veteran actor Chris O’Donnell attached, the series couldn’t be saved. When the foundation is weak, no amount of star power can hold it up. The chemistry among the cast felt forced, the dialogue lacked authenticity, and the storylines were either rushed or poorly developed. You can feel that this show wanted to capitalize on a known brand instead of earning its own **** you browse fan discussions—like the first Reddit threads that pop up—you’ll see the same consensus: long-time 9-1-1 fans calling it ridiculous, disappointing, and almost unwatchable. That kind of feedback doesn’t come from “haters.” It comes from people who genuinely love the franchise and expected better.Hollywood needs to take this as a warning. Chasing influencer metrics over skill and experience is not a sustainable formula for good storytelling. The art of performance still matters. Craft still matters. When studios forget that, this is the result.I’m glad 9-1-1: Nashville failed to find traction. Hopefully it reminds executives that audiences can tell the difference between authentic talent and hollow casting gimmicks. No shade, no hate—just honesty. This series deserved its low ratings, and it doesn’t need a second season.
