Girl I didn't know you were into 911 lol. Who are your favourites, what are your opinions?

i just binged it for funsies just recently so same. I have been live reacting to it to @radlymona i know shes so sick of me 🤣! i would say my favs are Maddie (fantastic, she made her way into my top favorite chars ever which was unexpected for me), Hen, & Buck. They're really fun and I like that the show's main heart is the relationships between everyone, bc with such a silly premise at times (so many of the 911 calls are ridiculous in a good way), you need those really solid chars to keep you watching. I will say, it took me many seasons to warm up to Buck. I legitimately don't think he had any personality or development until season 4. That was a struggle considering they consider him the "main" of the ensemble. I still joke the most interesting part of Buck is his sister. But now that I'm fully caught up, I think they finally have been giving him satisfactory backstory and personality, kind of, and now season 8 premiere is setting up some more development for him, which is long overdue. For the main, I was shocked it took so long for them to get past "he just is really bad at dating" as his only personality trait.

Hen and Karen have probably less of the engaging storylines for me with the fostering stuff, but its still cute and I really like them as a couple. Athena is hard carried by Angela Bassett, so she always gets a pass for the crazy shit she does sometimes lol.

I think going into the show I was also definitely expecting the main fan ship (Buck and Eddie) to be more fan shit as per tumblr (I legit forgot they canonically made Buck bi as well), but the longer I watched the more I was legitimately like oh no these two are insane and also need to stop terrorizing the women of LA stat. And also save us from introducing random women every other episode for them that disappear as soon as they arrive 😭 ?? Like please stop that its just painful.

One of the learning curves for sure was that this show has WEIRD AS HELL PACING LMAO!! I'VE NEVER SEEN A SHOW W WORSE PACING! They love introducing and dropping just as quick a plot point or a character, and sometimes randomly bringing it back up seasons later and you have to play along like you remember someone who showed up for fifteen seconds. I half heartedly try to remember shit about people who aren't in the main ensemble, but its so difficult 😭 I couldn't even tell you all the women Buck dated beside Abby and Taylor, and Taylor is only lucky bc I legit liked her as a char. Theres just too much insane shit they throw around and take away too quickly like let it breathe besties.

So yeah, general writing is not fantastic or anything but the show is hella fun and they seemed to have accidentally stumbled into really great character relationships?? Like I live for Maddie and Buck scenes, Hen and Chim duo, Josh and Maddie chats, and Buck and Eddie are like a whole other analysis lol, but they're all great relationships the writers cooked up somehow.
