The show has jumped the shark. Instead of concentrating on fires and emergencies they're spending their time in ridiculous "hot topic" plot lines that are more distracting then interesting. It was bad enough when they had a mobile Physician Response Team unit operating from a firehouse instead of a hospital. Now they've opened a medical clinic in a functioning firehouse and saying they want to expand the program. Every episode has to inject at least two hot button topics whether or not they're fire or emergency related. Its become nothing but a soap opera that happens to be firehouse adjacent with no actual firefighting involved much anymore. It's nothing but silly plot lines like toes falling off that are more ludicrous than interesting or exciting. And making the Florida parents the bad guys in a trans plot line is too obvious for words. They failed to show that 80% of all "trans" children change their minds by 18 and those Florida parents may not be the monsters they want viewers to believe. Good writing is sacrificed for hot topics. The 911 series and Chicago Fire are much better shows of this genre and have the ratings to prove it.
