Station 19

Station 19 offers a distinctly Shondaland twist on the fire station drama, without resorting to the gimmicks of “Scandal,” “How to Get Away with Murder,” or the latest attempt “For the People.” The new drama dials down the heightened emotions and quicksilver banter that are hallmarks of the Rhimes brand for a sturdier, subtler story. ... A cut above the competition.

The workaholic-rom-com notes feel too familiar, but it's worth watching just for Hamilton's Okieriete Onaodowan, who flirts with women by rescuing their cute dogs. [16/23 March 2018, p.104]

Like other Rhimes productions, the show is very much a work of capital-T Television, a turbocharged melodrama in which twists and surprises transpire with comforting predictability. ... At the same time, Rhimes' series feel "real," and relatable, however absurd they may become, because they are packed with intense emotions.

19 feels exactly like a Shondaland show, but far more like a crossover than a spinoff. There’s perhaps a bigger problem: NBC’s “Chicago Fire” already does this show and does it well.

Some of the supporting characters, including Victoria Hughes (Barrett Doss) and Dean Miller (Okieriete Onaodowan), make decent first impressions. But the whole enterprise feels so similar to “Grey’s”--co-workers as family, love triangle, heroics on the job--as to be unessential, which programming in the Peak TV era cannot afford to be.

Station is more a cheap facsimile of what made Grey's tick than a successful spinoff. It tries to ignite something new for the Grey's world, but just ends up flaming out.

Cringy dialogue. ... The premiere features cameos by Grey’s stars Ellen Pompeo and Chandra Wilson, both of whom look as though someone is holding a pistol at their heads just off-camera.

Station 19 provides a safe and welcoming space that allows audiences, young and old, to feel seen and represented

Standard molto meglio di altri spinoff non è bellissima ma è bellina per passare il tempo

When the series started it was very good showing interesting calls and great management by the station captain. As it progressed to the end of season 3 it morphed into a show that concentrates on gay relationships and scenes within the station that are NOT the values in our home. We will not be watching this series in the future.

The wokest show on streaming. Doesn’t hesitate to shove politics down your throat. Poor viewing better off watching CNN for same but with better acting and scripts.

A cheap spin-off from a large well-known series. Do not expect quality here. This series only appeals to fans of Grey's Anatomy. I'll never understand that you look at a snot.
