Elaineratrat I look forward to watching the New Orleans crew. The comradery is amazing. The EMTs/paramedics are knowledgeable and caring. The police officers are outstanding and good looking too! Although we don't see a lot of the fire department in the most recent episodes they don't miss a beat either. I'm going to miss watching the New Orleans crew. The intros for the Tampa episodes look good, but I don't think it will be the same for me.

Abby Watts If you've seen your share of A&E reality shows, you'll know what to expect here. This is not a compliment. Pounding music, quick cutaway scenes, dialogue that seems conveniently scripted, you get the idea. What saves the show is the actual content, which is quite interesting. New Orleans is one of the most violent cities in one of the most violent industrialized countries in the world. Wander outside the French Quarter and you have a higher chance of meeting your death that you would at the height of the Iraq war. But it's also a party city and has a world class university (Tulane). So imagine being emergency services/first responders in this situation and that's what this is.You see everything from paramedics to firefighters to police to SWAT, but my main interest is the paramedics. There are various partnerships on the show, but for my money, they could literally build an entire show around the partnership of the paramedic crew of Holly and Nick. These two are charismatic, caring and from what we see on the show, highly competent. And apparently the paramedics in New Orleans are highly tattooed, but I digress.I would rather see a more gritty version of this show to fit in with the city itself, but I really love seeing docs about paramedics so I'll take what I can get.

itsme_csh When facing high stress situations it is easy to forget that these people are human beings. EMS didn't come fast enough. The police officer was rude. Somehow they become the bad guys. It takes a special kind of person to do what these people do. Every day they put themselves in harms way to help others. What I love about this show is that it reveals the obstacles that police, fire, and EMS face in an effort to do their job. It gives you an inside peek into how much these people love what they do and, more importantly, why. New Orleans practically crackles with energy and life. But there is a dark side to the beauty. Filming Night Watch there is a brilliant idea because you see it all: the darkness and the light, the good and the evil of man. I am completely addicted to this show.

tbedard85 LOVED it! Caught it on television the other night.....wanted to watch MORE! Didn't realize it's a brand new reality series! I LOVE to see "live" medical, ems, police, fire action!! Recommended!! Want MORE!! I enjoyed seeing the interactions of the individual partners while working! I liked that they added "the outcome of the story" in any case where it was possible! Eg...whether the patient lived or recovered, etc. I also like the following similar programs: "Trauma in the ER"6 "Untold stories of the ER" VGH....Vancouver General Hospital "live" trauma center. Would be great to have these programs continue on.....so often they just have a certain numbers of episodes and thats it! Keep 'em coming!!
