But as much as you tell yourself that you start to see changes in Franco, he used to be a stand up guy and a good friend and now he's hitting on Tommy's wife and you just don't quite recognize him anymore. They just get more and more out of control until one day you realize that Tommy just shoved his daughter's head in a bowl of liquor and maybe this isn't the kind of drama you need in your life anymore. I know you still love me, I know you do, we can fix this." But of course things never get better. Remember the good old days, RM, remember that? We can get back there. The good times were so good and when things got bad you kept saying, "Things will get better, won't they, I just know they will. A show about an alcoholic treated you like an alcoholic. It was one of the best shows on tv for a little while and then it just, well it wasn't the same anymore. I don't think it rises to the level of some cable shows of its time period - Deadwood, The Shield, Rome - but it was a notable achievement. Then it calms down into season 3, but I never found myself wanting to quit watching. I find the first two/three years fantastic. The later you get into the show, there are definitely rough patches. It has a few sluggish eras, but there's always one or two that keeps the show going. It also takes risks (not always successfully) and isn't afraid to offend viewers. The show deals a lot with death and illness that can be overwhelming and demean the series on occasion, but overall there is a sense of looking for life's meaning in the firefighters' world. It's the story about a firefighter who must deal with post-911 life (and many other problems) and a squad that has some pretty macho beliefs. And it has plenty of black/dark humor so it's a good balance of drama and comedy. The characters are the thing that makes the show standout. I think Rescue Me deserves more credit than it often gets.
