Bonus: Our Thoughts on Season 9

About this episode

The hosts reflect on season 9 of 9-1-1, sharing their thoughts and listener feedback.

Join us for a relatively measured and non-controversial look back on season 9 of 9-1-1. Really, I'm not even being sarcastic! Our hottest take is that we thought this season was pretty alright, lacking some of the epic highs and lows of previous seasons. We even consulted you listeners for your own takes. Chapters for your convenience: 00:00 Intro/revisiting season 8 6:38 General thoughts/highs and lows 57:15 Theo storyline 1:07:18 Buddie 1:35:31 Listener hot takes (1:51:02 - 2:02:27 is when we discuss Buck's addiction storyline, CW for discussion of opioid addiction and alcoholism!)
