ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

latreenjohnson First of all, they must have racially-targeted black actors (according to skin-color) in order to find the one black man on the planet who can swim in salt-water with his eyes open. Second of all, the dude he was swimming to rescue- was simply chillin' in a helicopter seat underwater... just because he can't get his seatbelt off by himself. He calmly takes a breath from his little oxygen tank and points to the seatbelt when the black guy (who somehow found him at night, in salt-water, with no flashlight or mask, after somehow finding the sinking helicopter in 300 billion gallons of water and locating the door-latch) comes to rescue him. Have you ever tried to open your eyes underwater and see anything in focus more than 2 feet away?!?.. much less in SALTwater?!?! And then the radio says "all searches have been called off until the storm passes", when the wife waiting at the station asks "durrrhhhh what does THAT mean?!?"... Then, in all-out-hatred against black women, the media AGAIN puts the black-lover-man into the latina woman... RACISTS!!!

bscollon I watched a few episodes in the first season and enjoyed them, then returned to tune in to the second season. I have to say, I expected a lot of mindless rescue-action sequences but the show has more layering and heart than that. TJ Martinez is great, and Dolph manages to pull off the sensitive tough guy role really well. Lots of relationship plot lines that overlap and keep it interesting. The camera-work does a great job of showing off the locations and the cast in their best light. Direction is decent, but I do think the pacing could be a little faster in places. The writing has steadily improved over the shows run and has the potential to elevate the show even more. I've definitely been drawn in to some of the character story lines. Overall this is an entertaining and thoughtful show with heart. I'll keep watching.

ghcline As a member of the US Army and a Malibu resident, I am thrilled at the American patriotism portrayed in this series. There are not many shows on television now a days for family and people who don't want to watch dark shows about murder. This is a rescues and saving lives. I am happy I can sit down with my children and grandchildren and watch this. Firefighters are real heroes and SAF3 depicts this. I love the action mixed with getting to see the characters private lives. Their strengths and their flaws. Thank you for this show. It is a breath of fresh air. And it doesn't hurt that the people are easy on the eye as is the background scenery. And the music is great. I really love the theme song!

Gerry Goldshine At the nine minute mark of this week's episode and wishing I could unsee what I have just watched. If this is a drama, then it's as bad as the odor coming off the recently fertilized alfalfa fields here in Sonoma County. If it's supposed to be a comedy, then I suspect even the flies will avoid it. Holy cow! I kept waiting for the voyeur grilling the ribs to set his hands on the grill, breaking all sorts of laws while he surreptitiously filmed the three swimsuit clad models doing yoga on the beach. At least that would have been funny.Being a retired police officer, who drove a Ford Crown Vic, I know JR Martinez's story and the unbandaging/unveiling of him was gratuitous. The whole plot line involving him was exploitative, stereotypical and derivative.The soap opera like music needs an organ to be more realistic.A repeat of this season's SNL, with an emaciated Tina Fey, has got to be better.
