An edge of your seat ride from beginning to end. It succeeds at keeping everything exciting and fresh by mixing officers of the NYPD with firefighters and paramedics of the FDNY. Other shows, before and since, focus on one of these groups and therefore become repetitive and predictable. Third Watch allows every actor/actress to shine with episodes that split time between characters and focus solely on certain characters in a natural way.
I watched the original airings of every season with my family when I was younger. I recently found it again streaming on Roku for free. I convinced my wife to watch the first 2 episodes (the series premiere was a two parter) and that's all it took. We finished the series finale less than an hour ago and it was just as emotional as it was when I first saw it in 2005. This show stands the test of time. If there is a show that deserves a revival, it's this one.
