Rescue Me, Season 1 - Part 1

So after 4 episodes of Season 1 of Rescue Me, here's what we got:

Denis Leary plays the show's protagonist Tommy Gavin who is struggling to balance his crumbling marriage, sobriety, apparitions of his deceased cousin and best friend as well as the day to day life of a fireman in New York City. Leary has surprised me thus far with his level of acting.

The other situations involving the rest of the crew of the firehouse haven't really heated up yet. But have involved the typical topics you'd expect (sexuality, male bonding, family issues).

4 episodes in I haven't been completely blown away like I was with The Wire and The Shield.

Izzy's rating after 4 episodes: 6 out of 10
