Summary
Reviewers say 'Fire Country' has engaging storylines, strong character development, and a unique setting of a small town dealing with wildfires. Fans appreciate the blend of action, romance, and interpersonal drama. However, critics often point out unrealistic firefighting scenarios, over-the-top drama, and inconsistent character behavior. Some viewers find the show's melodrama and lack of realism off-putting. Despite these criticisms, many still enjoy the show for its entertainment value and emotional depth.
Featured reviews
Many of the characters are good but are pulled down by the horrible acting of a few. Stephanie Arcila and Jules Latimer make some of the scenes boring and just plan bad. Their characters should be strong but they are weak. Latimer tries to hard to be a seasoned fire fighter and comes off whiny. Arcila just comes off completely unbelievable. I hope the show survives because Max Thieriot and Kevin Alejandro are fantastic and totally believable. The premise of the show is a worthy one. Please get rid of the week actors so this show has a chance to survive. It is important to show what firefighters go through.
I love this show! The other reviewers who talk about it not being "realistic" I guess never watch anything except documentaries and the news. I can't speak for how realistic it is, but I don't care. It's entertaining and that's why I watch t.v. I don't watch television because it's realistic. It has drama, eye candy and keeps my attention. That is ultimately what makes good television. Sure, it has its slow parts, but what doesn't? At the end of the day, I look forward to watching every week and it is a refreshing change from the many superhero shows out there. I recommend giving it a watch!!!
Well this show won't win any Emmys, and as many other reviews note, it's usually an unrealistic melodrama. So... its clearly not for everybody.
But,if you can overlook all that, and if you (like me) hated to see Thieriot leave Seal Team, and wanted him to play that exact, same character somewhere else, then your wish was granted.
I'll hang with it for awhile, cause it can be fun & entertaining. Also, it's predictable enough so it will be easy to catch up with, even if ya miss an episode or so.
I catch up while on my exercise bike. It does help distract me from the grind. Rather watch this than the news!

Hollywood writers seem to follow the same path. They begin a good show with lots of interesting action, but always veer off into fluff and silly dram to fill up time. A good story line with an original and little covered subject, wildland firefighting. A huge untapped potential, but ruined by the high school level melodramatic dialogue.
Viewers tune in for the fire action, not the silly high school drama. Stick to the fires. Do that and it'll run 12 seasons easy.
Keep dragging the show down with silly drama and soap opera dialog and one season tops. Writers please stick to the format that began with episode one.

Had watched Seal Team so then watched this to see Max Theriot in something else so had pretty high hopes, it was entertaining enough, but the story was so poorly written and predictable.
The show had its moments and has good characters. It had entertaining fire fighting and rescue scenes in each episode but these were sometimes overshadowed my the consistent melodrama.
It had a lot of potential but was let down by poor writing and actors stopping in the middle of a fire to have a deep conversation got a bit tiring. Not sure if there is a season 2? If so I'd watch it but wouldn't rush. If your coming from Seal Team you'll be a bit let down.
