10 TV Shows That Are Somehow Getting Better
4. Chicago Fire
On the surface, Chicago Fire looks like just another weekly procedural drama. In some areas, it is, but there's more to this show that meets the eye.
The first instalment in the One Chicago connected universe, this show about the men and women in the big red trucks first debuted back in 2012.
We met the likes of Matthew Casey, Kelly Severide, and Gabby Dawson and witnessed their personal and professional lives grow and change. Comedy, tragedy, long hosepipes. This show had it all.
11 seasons and over 200 episodes later, the personnel of Firehouse 51 are still going strong. A few faces have come and gone and the show has changed course plenty of times over the years, but it's still here.
After a pretty rocky start, the show has gone from strength to strength. Viewers of the first season derided it for its cliches, but over time it has built up a solid fanbase through long-term storytelling and the stellar work of its cast.
In a world where linear TV has gone down the toilet, Chicago Fire's most recent season actually outperformed its first in terms of viewers.
Guess you could say it's hot right now... sorry.
