Chicago Fire (TV Series) A Breaking Point (2017) User Reviews

Weird

I am not a fan of the Gabby centered episodes, she is written as if she is the only person who knows how to do anything and the city, no, the entire world would fall apart without her. I also felt the episode dragged on for a very long time, I would rather have seen the house busy on numerous calls than the piles of paperwork thrown at Casey. Near the end when Casey finds Gabby, it appears she is doing CPR on Tucker but then he is able to walk out of the structure on his own. Sloppy writing. I did not enjoy the forced tension between the African American man and Caucasian woman. Perhaps some footage before hand of her in the bank would have made more sense.

Gabby Overload

I agree with the other reviewers. I find the extreme heroics of Gabby Bloody Dawson absolutely exhausting.

Unrealistic and Illogical

This episode begins with a savvy paramedic who foolishly run into a crumbling cement parking garage. It is the epitome of badly written television. Keeping in mind that acting is acting, also keep in mind that this is a show based on reality. There is nothing real or convincing about a smart woman running into a collapsing cement parking structure. No sane person would do it, no matter how heroic they might be. The scene was a desperate attempt to create an episode from nothing. It was the first time in the serious I was reminded this was tv; not real. I shed many tears throughout the season because it was written and performed well. Season 6 has reached a point where the magic of the show is starting to fade and this episode was proof. Seeing her running into the garage after leaving her phone on her car seat, I was already disappointed because at that point, I knew I wouldn't enjoy the episode and I was correct.
