Chicago Fire season 5 review

When it comes to “Chicago Fire,” there seems to be one clear constant: Nothing ever seems to go great when it comes to Dawson and Casey. First, they lose Louie. Then, they struggle to deal with what happened tonight. There was a notion that someone from his past could come howling back for revenge, and […]

Given everything that has transpired as of late when it comes to “Chicago Fire,” it feels somewhat understandable to say that the majority of the characters tonight were feeling a little stressed out. For one prime example, you did not have to look any further than Casey. He was clearly still reeling from losing Louie, […]

At one point, we were hoping to start off this “Chicago Fire” review by handing out some of the good news: Casey and Dawson’s parental struggle was over! After all, Louie’s birth father Andre paid them another visit at the start of the episode, and made it clear that he was being deployed again. Therefore, he was […]

NBC promoted the “Chicago Fire” – “Chicago PD” crossover on Tuesday night heavily surrounding the arrest of Kelly Severide, but what you may not have realized entering this episode was precisely how emotional part of the story around the character was going to be before that. Kelly was trying his best to do the right […]

While we did offer up a brief take on the Dawson – Casey wedding last week, we haven’t gotten around until now to posting our full thoughts on “One Hundred,” easily the most important episode of “Chicago Fire” in some time.

Yet, at the same exact time this show somehow […]

Tonight’s new episode of “Chicago Fire” certainly started things off on a fiery note, but not in the way you would expect. The fire we’re talking about was between Brett and Antonio! Okay, maybe that was corny, and like with Dawson when she asked Brett about it, we regret it immediately. In moving on to […]

There is a lot of content worthy of discussion via Tuesday night’s new episode of “Chicago Fire,” and yet we do feel like we can write a good thousand words regarding the whole homecoming-dance-proposal-gone-wrong that we saw early on during the episode. We had a young kid, still a sophomore, doing what he could in […]

If you want an example of a “Chicago Fire” episode that bounces around and gives you updates on several different members of the cast, we imagine that there are many you can point to over the series’ run on NBC. Tuesday night’s new episode for the most part is not one of them. It was […]

There’s a perfectly good reason why “Chicago Fire” 5×03 is entitled “Scorched Earth,” and much of that could have to do with the way that Matthew Casey went just about all out to ensure that he got what he wanted from Susan without having to see his life put into further peril. The basic summation […]
