Fire CountrySeason 3 recently hitits mid-season finale with the latest episode, “Promise Me.”

Thus far,Fire CountrySeason 3 has delivered too much too soon.

As a result, the show is losing its previous focus on firefighting in the fictional town of Edgewater.

To some extent, the format of Season 3 has changed.

Bode has been released from prison, and he is now a recruit in Cal Fire’s 1501st division.

That resolution occurred at the end of Season 2 when Bode received his parole.

Currently, the writers can’t make up their minds about how they want to handle Bode and Gabriela.

Since the season began, the incessant parade of “Will they?

scenes involving Bode and Gabriela have become tiresome.

The characters constantly acting so hung up about their relationship status hurts the show.

Instead, that whole subplot was quietly resolved.

This has resulted in a top-heavyFire CountrySeason 3 with surplus subplots.

The series could use some streamlining when it returns later next year.

Hopefully, the writers can figure out a stronger balance between those aspects for the spring half.

The show will be back withnew episodes later in January 2025.
