Chicago Fire Season 13's Biggest Problem? Lack of Actual Fires
Chicago Fire fans are complaining that season 13 has very few fires: you know, the things the firefighters are supposed to deal with. There may be several reasons for fire shortage in a show dedicated to it — let's explore all of them.
What really makes an action series/movie? Of course, it's the amount of action that goes on in each episode. And guess what: if the show is called Chicago Fire and follows a team of firefighters, it only makes sense that every episode (or at least some of them) follows a fire.
For a long time, the show followed this rule and provided viewers with entertaining television. But recently, fans have started complaining that the lack of real fire action makes the show less interesting to watch.
“Yes, this show is getting boring now. I liked it better in the early seasons,” Redditor Salty_Association684 said.
Why Are There No Fires in Chicago Fire?
Some fans believe that one of the reasons for the lack of fire may be budget issues.
“Too expensive for the network, they prefer the usual cookie cutter drama than good storytelling,” one Redditor said.
Another reason is even less poetic. Some people think this is a way for the screenwriters to make up for lost time after the Hollywood strikes.
But there's another version of what's going on in the minds of the most optimistic fans. They all believe that better times are coming.
“I think there will be some good fire scenes in the upcoming episodes. I guess they are saving the best for last,” Redditor Fun_Butterscotch9110 said.
