Tonight's post is to elaborate on last night's.
Rescue Me has just started its fourth season. The back story is that the main character, played by Denis Leary, is an NYC firefighter. After the tragedy of 9/11, he is stricken by alcoholism and what many might describe as insanity, since he can now see/hear/interact with the ghosts of dead people he encounters. This was much more prominent in the first and second season. The rest of the story lines revolve around the intertwined relationships of his friends (the rest of the fire house) and family.
It is chock full of violence, bad language, and sexual escapades. It's right up there with Nip/Tuck on mature content, but has a much more cohesive and realistic story. The show is meant for smart people, so I am confident that anyone reading this will at least appreciate it for its wit and diverse content mixture if they don't like it for other reasons.
