Is it Oscar material? Noooooo. It isjust good hearted corny entertainment. I enjoy streaming all the shows available today, but after awhile they r too deep, meaty, and depressing. Or cruel. This strike me as a modern version of the 60's family drama. And I look forward to it. I enjoyed Max in Seal Team and hope for the best for him in this show. I think the concept of inmates pitching in to help fight the fires is a heartening concept, whether it is based on truth or not.(hard to believe they would do something this innovative in California). And the cast of characters seem aptly cast for their parts. Hope they get another season.
