This show just about clung in there on my watching schedule last season but if the rest of the season is as yawn-worthy as this season premiere then I don't know how long I'm going to continue watching it. Truth be told if it wasn't due to my desire to be up- to-speed during the Chicago crossovers, I would have probably dropped Chicago Fire a long time ago.
All that build-up with the epic fire at the end of the last season and no one actually ends up dead or with life-changing injuries? I'm sorry TPTB you chose to kill my favourite character Shay a few seasons ago but everyone comes out just fine at the end of this cliffhanger?! That's just silly.
At the very least I would have expected the writers to try something new now we've hit Season 6 but alas that is too much to ask. Severide is still sleeping around, a random friend of Brett who I really don't care about is introduced as a new love interest, Dawson/Casey are still skirting around domestic issues and there's a new arsonist on the loose.
The only thing I really, truly enjoyed was Cruz doing everything to please Mouch to make up for the events at the end of last season.
