Never watched this show but the cast looks good. Chris O'Donnell is a solid actor. If it's anything like the original 9-1-1, it should be entertaining. Might give it a try on Hotstar.

"Tormenting Nashville on a biblical scale" - that's quite the tagline! Sounds intense. I enjoy procedural dramas, so will definitely check out Season 2. Hope the Indian broadcast isn't too delayed.

As someone who lives in India but loves American TV, I find it funny how every detective from New York is a "brilliant iconoclast". That said, Phillippe is a good actor and the 9-1-1 franchise is usually reliable. Looking forward to it!

Good news for the show. A strong cast addition usually helps in later seasons. I wonder if they'll ever do an Indian adaptation of 9-1-1? Our emergency services have so many incredible stories that could be told. Just a thought!

I respect the actor's work, but I have to say I'm getting a bit tired of the same old American drama formulas. "Seductive bad boy" stirring up drama? It feels a bit predictable. I wish Indian audiences had more access to diverse global content beyond these mainstream US shows. The production quality is great, but the tropes are wearing thin.
