Rescue Me Season 6 Premieres Tonight
FX has been home to a number of excellent series, and Rescue Me certainly qualifies as one of them. The series follows the lives of New York firemen after the aftermath of 9/11. Tommy Gavin is the cynical, alcoholic, emotionally damaged fireman who is haunted by the 9/11 death of his cousin and best friend Jimmy Keefe. Gavin’s style is abrasive and causes problems within the firehouse, but his fearlessness in firefighting is undeniable. The firemen are a true family, one minute joking and pulling pranks, the next racing into a burning building and putting their lives on the line to save a life.
Denis Leary is the co-creator, writer and star of Rescue Me, along with co-creator and fellow writer Peter Tolan. This is a fine ensemble cast that works seemlessly together and is worth watching. Rescue Me is one of the best written shows on television, the series is unflinching in the way it covers issues of alcoholism, homophobia, depression, family, death, and the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Rescue Me, Season 6, premieres tonight June 29 on FX at 10:00 p.m. Check your local TV schedule for upcoming episodes of the series.
