Originating from the minds of Brad Falchuk, Tim Minear, and Ryan Murphy, the series 9-1-1 boasts an outstanding cast including Angela Bassett, Oliver Stark, Kenneth Choi, Aisha Hinds, Peter Krause, and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

On the 24th of September, season one of the show will be made available on ITVX, through ITVX’s special ‘Taste of Disney+’ promotion. This initiative allows ITVX to feature a variety of popular shows and films from Disney+.

The show was well-received by viewers, with many defending its exaggerated depiction of emergency workers. They applauded it for providing a welcome escape from reality.

A viewer on IMDb described the series as a “hard-to-resist indulgence,” noting: “Despite the fact that it’s completely unrealistic, I can’t get enough of the chemistry between the characters. The acting duo is exceptional, and their bond is one of the most captivating in television. Though the storylines are far-fetched, I find myself not caring about it.

This series is truly dreadful, yet I can’t help but be drawn to it. It’s incredibly implausible and filled with clichés, but it provides the perfect escape from reality that I crave.

A different spectator commented: “I couldn’t tear myself away. It delivers on surprise, offering an exhilarating ride of astonishment and visual effects, and its makeup is impressive indeed.

One admirer of the series commended its initial two seasons, remarking: “The first two seasons were thrilling, engaging, and fun to watch, offering an exceptional mix of investigative action and character-driven emotional storylines delivered by a skilled ensemble.

As an avid fan, I can’t help but express my admiration for the captivating network drama that is 9-1-1. Its unique blend of compelling characters, dramatic scenarios, and gripping storylines make it one of the most enthralling shows out there. If you haven’t watched it yet, I wholeheartedly recommend it, particularly the seasonal episodes featuring major disasters that are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!

Season one of 9-1-1 will be added to ITVX on 24 September.
