I wonder how many cheesy Texas cliches will pop up? And will Rob Lowe and Liv have Texas accents.

They went the other way the Captain and his gay son with a history of suicide attempts from New York City. A Muslim women viral star firefighter from Miami. And a trans firefighter from Chicago under a US Justice Department decree to make the Austin Fire Department inclusive join the lone, Lone Star survivor of a fire company to form the dream team to rebuild a decimated firefighter company.

Along for the ride is the black wife of the white 20 year vet Texan as the 9-1-1 operator and the Paramedic Captain who unlike other states or the 9-1-1 mother-ship show they tell us is in charge in a medical call, and most calls are medical calls. So ultimately a female boss in the field. Almost forgot the Latino who had problems passing the written test

The character's professional career before Austin was in NYC, but he (the character) states (onscreen) that he grew up in Santa Monica. Lowe himself went to high school in Santa Monica.

So the actor threw in an homage to his hometown. I was guessing maybe the mother-ship tie in as a relative. But then all the white characters on that show are transplants to LA. Connie Britton is supposed to make a returning guest appearance to the original show and her character would be close in age to Rob Lowe's

It has won the 2020 Woke Olympics TV gold medal and they had the Muslim woman viral video star name drop it why she was a top firefighter draft pick by Austin going to Miami to recruit her. She wears the hijab but seems eager to show off her curves. But besides the diverse cast of the fire station, as federally mandated on the show, it is not politics but weird rescues with a different crew from the LA show.

Where the LA show had its share of gay and lesbian characters the shipper fans wanted the two young male firefighters together and the LA show hadn't done that, yet. I can't remember the gay first husband of the LAPD Sergeant kissing his boyfriend on screen but the lesbian couple with one half a paramedic thus not a sidekick, has been intimate if not sexual for broadcast network primetime. Where as on Lone Star we are introduced to the New York son firefighter kissing a man while his father is hoping to get a new son in law.

Ehh, it was fine. I will have to see where they go from here, but so far I am not liking the cast as much as the original. The emergencies weren't super interesting for me either, but I'll give it another shot.
