I have just finished watching the third season of ABC's Station 19, and holy crap, it was...WOW!
The third season of Station 19 kicks off like an adrenaline rush as the season kicks off with the crossover with Grey's Anatomy. From the start of the season, you could tell that the tone had shifted just a bit, focusing on character background and development that took a step back from the soapy dramedy to a realistic drama.
The season puts a strong focus on the characters. While you can pick a name from a hat and say, "Yeah, they had some outstanding moments that season." It's so hard to choose what stood out and what didn't when it comes to who performed better because this ensemble cast works perfectly.
Whether it's Miller trying to connect with his parents and learning to be a father, Travis is helping a rookie make the hardest decision of their lives. Maya takes the captain's position over Andy while also in denial that her father was verbally abusive.
Gibson, still dealing with PTSD, slept with a firefighter's wife, soon ended in disaster but found his outcome. Warren is finding his niche with a surgical recuse service. And Andy finds love, suffering loss, and a surprise reunion. Sullivan deals with more pain issues, and the station deals with dirty politics.
If there was one issue that I had, it was the development of the character Rigo Vasquez, who, while at the start of the season joking around with the station crew, it already felt that he was going to be one seasonal character after learning that Gibson and Vasquez's wife had a couple of affairs and dying from a rocket explosion while one call.
There were a lot of episodes that I enjoyed, from "Indoor Fireworks" and "Eulogy;" to "Into the Woods," "Ice, Ice Baby," "Born to Run," "Something About What Happens After You Talk, "I'll Be Seeing You" and "Dream a Little Dream of Me" were some of my favorite episodes of Season 3, to name a few.
I'm pretty much going to make Station 19 one of my regular viewings this season. From where the show left off and where we are right now, I really would love to see where this will be going. We know the season four premiere will kick off the crossover with Grey's Anatomy, so we got that going. While the first three seasons were less than 20 episodes, I hope we get a lot more down the road (maybe not this television season, though).
Overall, I give Season Three of Station 19 a 9.5/10.
