My viewing of the DVD of the final series, released in the US next Tuesday, is already booked into my diary for the following weekend! It will be all the sweeter knowing it has earned me money too!
Would love to hear your take on it when you finish Mr C.
Oh, I've had a troubled on-off love-loathe relationship with this show since the start, but I love it because it rarely inspires indifference. I've been aware for over a year that the final episode would coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Towers and have considered that episode event television whatever else happens and actually, for all my flippancy about the money, I'm moved and pleased to unexpectedly find myself a tiny part of that final show. As Denis Leary's alcoholic meltdown is paralleled in real life by some of those first responders - in addition to those slowly dying from cancers they may not even know they have yet -
Rescue Me is what television is all about. I was present at the Trade Center site in November 2001 when the firefighters' union already found themselves sufficiently at odds with "America's Mayor" and were moved to hold unbearably poignant protest rallies there.
