Absolutely a must see, this show combines action with feeling and it's not a lot of shows that get this combo right. Molly Price and Jason Wiles have great chemistry together as Faith and Bosco and the storyline is believable, dramatic and it gets to you. The storyline develops among other characters as well, fire squad, police and ems but doesn't change the chemistry along the way. Also, as the seasons advance, you get to see how they cope with a great deal of situations at work and on a personal level. Keeps you on the edge at all times.It's a great show! Definitely worth a shot!!! Or two...

Watching THIRD WATCH is like reading a good book I just can't put down. I'm not one to "get hooked" on programs, like soaps, but THIRD WATCH got me good! I only wish I'd seen the original airings. I don't want to miss a single episode of this action packed series. The viewer is drawn in to the actors' characters causes and effects. The lives of the characters are deeply affected by their jobs as fire fighters, police person, or paramedics. The cast are excellent actors and perfect choices for their characters. It's difficult to pick a favorite character as all the interactions and relationships are just perfect. I can't say enough good about this drama, except it's terrible it was canceled after the 6th season. However, give everyone involved with the program credit for putting an ending to the series. Knowing the ending doesn't made a difference with wanting to watch the previous episodes.

It seems that another good police drama disappears like the dinosaurs. It started with shows like Hill Street Blues, Homicide: Life on the Street, NYPD BLUE and now THIRD WATCH. I guess actors need to move on some time but I am still left disappointed with the loss of these excellent shows. Third Watch did something that no other "cop show" managed to do. In the aftermath of 9-11 this show captivated audiences with its portrayal of emergency services workers trying to cope after the greatest of unbelievable tragedies. Its further episodes brought light to real issues affecting emergency workers, whether it was Sullivan's alcoholism or Doc Parker's post-traumatic stress. It was fiction with purpose. What are the viewers left with now? Blind Justice (which was thankfully canceled) and other garbage "quirkie" cop shows. Didn't we learn after "Cop rock"? that quirk did not work in police fiction. It was simply too serious a subject. Police drama sometimes brings more reality to viewing then reality TV. NBC should consider an appropriate spin-off or replacement. Maybe shows like "The Projects" about New York Housing Cops or "NY Transit" about subway cops, or even take another try at the elite ESU (Emergency Services Unit)-It was tried once before in the 80's. New York seems to be a venue for so many good story lines. They could even spin-off a series following Ty as he becomes the boss of his own precinct? Don't just leave the viewers hanging...step-up and bring back good police drama to balance out the reality TV B.S. Thanks for your attention.

I love third watch, and was very disappointed that it came to an end without warning. I have been watching third watch from the start, please bring it back! I loved all the story lines and all of the characters. I cried, I laughed, I got mad and also felt the personal changelles they all went through. When Cruz got raped I liked how she and Nina bond, the story line of Nina and Davis but hated when she lost the baby. Most of all they all were a family who stuck together through good times and bad times. The fire dept. and the cops. Please update me on any changes in it coming back or perhaps I was dreaming and really didn't end. Also where is the dvds. Bronte
