Yes, I'm sure the next story arc is gonna be epic and masterfully follow up on the previous one. Or maybe it will just be a bunch of generic drama, I dunno.

We shall see when the new season starts up. My expectations are low, mainly due to storylines from past seasons being recycled (I could name a few off the top of my head). But I’m forever optimistic that things might change under the new showrunner, it worked for Chicago Med, maybe it could work for Fire.

Fourteen seasons is basically a TV lifetime, she’s earned her exit. I just hope they use this shake-up to retire a few of the copy-paste storylines.

If you’re looking for something new from a Wolf production, you don’t know D***.

Lately? It's a network procedural. They're all the same thing, always.

Agree with everything you say. But even with the copy-paste storylines, I still come to watch lol. Let’s see how they produce the show with the budget cuts they’re getting hit with. Contracts were renewed last year so I think we should be good with that for another year or two.

the budget cuts have been so annoying for these long running network shows. i was gonna throw in the towel on most of them next year. fire is my favorite of them all but its a shell of its early days complete with an empty fire house with no cast. i am interested to see if a new person can breathe new life into it but i dont have any expectations.

14 seasons seems like a lot for a showrunner to be on the same show. The showrunner turnaround for D*** Wolf shows seems so much shorter than this. This is an impressive run. I quit this show during season 7 or 8? Don't remember. But I had no idea it still had the same showrunner through and through

All I ever is I quit once Casey left, and only watched Casey and Brett’s wedding and Stella and Severides wedding episodes.

Whether you love or criticize the show, 14 seasons is no joke.

The last few seasons of Chicago Fire have just been so boring to me. I love the new Med and PD but they keep getting rid of interesting people on the cast for some reason. The last episode I watched was really good and kept my attention the whole time! I hope it continues

14 SEASONS!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?! I thought this show was like 5 years old, jfc.

Since she took over as show runner the show has been not as good. Maybe she just isn’t as into it after so long. Hopefully the new showrunner will be able to convince NBC to have episodes with the full cast for season 15 instead of saving money by just not having 80% of the cast in each episode

That show has *14 seasons*?! I could’ve sworn NBC’s obsession with Chicago civil services only started like 6-7 years ago lol

ER premiered 32 years ago my guy. I'm sure there's earlier examples, but that's the farthest back my brain is capable of traveling.

I’m not talking about ER, I’m talking specifically about the Chicago Fire/PD/Med/Waste Management/Parks/etc…
