I started rewatching 9-1-1 from season 5 because I feel like seasons 5,6 and 7 kind of blur together in a lot of ways for me and oh my god why is the show like this????
I feel like season 5 marks the beginning of the “wasted potential” era of the show. Taylor? Wasted potential. Nathalia??? Barely even a character. Jonah paramedic serial killer arc? Shoved into one episode and erased from history. The double whammy of Buck sperm donor crisis and Eddie having to confront Chris growing up. SO MUCH POTENTIAL HERE FOR BUCK AND EDDIE TO TALK ABOUT PARENTHOOD???? And yet nothing
I could go on. So many things that they set up and resolve way too quickly. Or things that they set up and then completely erase in the following seasons. I’m looking at you Eddie Diaz working through trauma for two seasons and then getting with the dead wife doppelgänger
Buck and Eddie really are made for each other because the writers are so clueless about what to do with either of them
